certain number of "free places" (friplatser), that is total exemption from school
fees for a certain number of deserving scholars.
The secondary schools for girls are owned by companies, by the municipalities
(kommuner) or by private persons; some few of them are endowed institutions.
They receive State aid in the shape of two grants, one for general school
purposes and one for increments to the salaries (lönetillägg) of the teachers.
According to the regulations of the Act of 1909, the State aid to a girl’s secondary
school may amount to a maximum of 4 400 kronor per annum, provided the
school have four classes above the preparatory classes, and of 5 200 kronor,
provided the school have more than four such classes; in addition to this the school
may obtain a special grant for instruction in domestic economy, not exceeding
1 000 kronor. If the girls’ school has a "gymnasium" attached to it the grant
may be raised up to 2 000 kronor.
The municipality or private donors, as the case may be, shall make to the
school they support a grant the annual value of which is at least equal in
amount to the State aid, and shall moreover contribute to the teachers’
increments for years of service (ålderstillägg), and to their pensions, according to a
fixed basis.
Teachers in the State-aided girls’ secondary schools, except those who teach
mainly in the preparatory classes, have fixed minimum salaries. A head-mistress
has thus a minimum salary of 2 000 kronor while in the first grade of salary,
and 2 300 kronor in the second, besides free lodging or equivalent for rent.
A regular teacher who has passed through a Higher Training College, or
possesses equivalent qualifications, has 1 400 kronor in the first grade, 1 700 in
the second, and 2 000 in the third. Teachers with lower qualifications have an
initial salary of 1 200 kronor rising up to 2 000 kronor. "Outside" teachers who are
