iv. education and mental culture.
It extends over two successive terms, and is taken at one of the seven schools
officially prescribed for this purpose, three of which are located at Stockholm,
one at Uppsala, one at Lund, and two at Gothenburg. The number of
"can-ditates" is about 70 a year.
Appointments. Masters on the permanent staff are recommended for
appointment by the Supervisory Board, and finally nominated by Government. Female
teachers and instructors are appointed by the Board. As is the case with most
, of those in the State service, masters on the permanent school staff cannot be
dismissed without due trial and judgment.
Salaries. For the regular masters there are five different scales of salary,
promotion taking place every five years. The salary of lektors rises in this
manner from 4 000 to 6 000 kronor, that of adjunkts from 3 000 to 5 000
kronor. In the Stockholm, Gothenburg and Norrköping schools the municipality also
makes a grant in aid of rent of appartment. In the case of rektors there are two
scales of salary, namely 6 000 kronor in the higher schools, with a rise of
500 kronor after ten years, and 5 000 kronor in the realskolor, likewise with
a rise of 500 kronor after ten years; in addition to this a rektor has a
rentfree apartment, or a reimbursement for rent. For the head lady-teacher
there are two scales of salary, namely 2 050 and 2 500 kronor: for other lady
teachers two rates, namely 1 850 and 2 050 kronor. Instructors have a fixed
salary on three scales, and morover remuneration for extra hours of work. —
On attaining the age of 65 and after 35 years of service (for women teachers
55 and 25 respectively) teachers on the permanent staff are entitled to a
pension of 4 000 kronor for lektors, 3 400 kronor for adjunkts, 1 900 kronor for
the head lady-teacher, and 1 500 kronor for other lady-teachers. The rektor
receives his pension (5 000 kronor in the higher schools, 4 000 kronor in the
realskola) in the same course as other teachers, provided he have held the post
of rektor for at least 15 years. All teachers are under obligation to contribute
an annual quota (maximum 200 kronor) to their future pension. The widow
and children of a teacher on the permanent staff receive a pretty considerable
pension from a State-aided and State-controlled Widows’ and Orphans’ Pension
Fund, to which an annual quota is contributed by its members.
If the regular staff of teachers is not sufficient, assistant teachers (extra
lärare) are appointed; like the vikarie, or pro tempore teacher, the assistant
teacher has a yearly salary (from 1914 inclusive not exceeding 2 700 kronor).
Economics. Every town in which a State secondary school for hoys
is located is obliged to provide free of charge a building site for the school
house, with sufficient space for the play-ground. As a general rule, the
towns are now also liable for the building and maintenance of the school
house, and moreover under obligation to furnish the rektor with a rent-free
apartment, or reimbursement for rent. — In their general equipment and
outward appearance the Swedish school buildings attain a very high
standard. — In towns in which the State coeducational schools are located,
the municipality is moreover under obligation to defray a fourth part of
the initial salaries of the teaching staff.
Building costs (inclusive of fittings etc., but exclusive of the site) for some
ot the school houses erected in recent years are as follows: Realskolan at Malmö
890 000 kronor, Högre Realläroverket1 å Östermalm at Stockholm 1 372 000
1 In towns with more than one higher secondary-school, schools with only a
latin-gymnasium are called högre latinläroverk, and schools with only a realgymnasium högre
realläroverk.
