women being established by the State in 1861; this College is now called
"Högre Lärarinneseminariet" . This was the first measure taken by the
State for the advancement of the higher education of women in Swedë|f
In connection with the College the State also erected three years later
"Normalskolan för Flickor", the only girls’ school hitherto actually
founded by the State. It was intended to serve, and it still serves, as a
practising school for the pupils of the Training College. In the course of
the next few years were founded a good many girls’ schools, built more or
less on the pattern of the "Normal School"; and in fact the "Normal
School" served more or less as a pattern to all the girls’ schools
subsequently founded in Sweden. In 1874 the Riksdag decided to make a grant
of 30 000 kronor to be distributed on certain conditions as a State aid to
the secondary schools for girls. This grant was afterwards made annual.
It has several times been increased and is at present 400 000 kronor.
"Statens Normalskola för Flickor" comprises 3 preparatory classes and 8
school classes proper. The syllabus of instruction fixed for the latter classes
will be seen from the Table 70, which gives the subjects and the number of
hours allotted to them per week.
The "term fees" for the girls at the "Normal School" vary in amount in the
different classes.
In connection with the School there is a "continuation course" of theoretical
and practical instruction in domestic economy as well as voluntary instruction
in languages and the history of literature.
The Secondary Schools for Girls, which now number about 80, contain, with
a few exceptions, 3 preparatory classes and 8 school classes proper. The sub-
