The State grant to the technical colleges in 1911 amounted to 26 600
kronor for each; as extraordinary State grants the colleges at Malmö and
Örebro, which have parallel departments, received 14 450 and 19 920 kronor
respectively, while the colleges at Borås, Norrköping, and Härnösand received
4 250, 4 250, and 4 550 kronor respectively. The funds of the colleges amounted
to 283 000 kronor at the end of 1909.
The premises for technical colleges are to be furnished by the municipality
of the place where the college is situated; the remainder of the equipment
has been provided partly by the municipality, partly by the State, and to a less
extent from the pupils fees.
D) The Technical School of Eskilstuna was opened, under another
name, in 1855, was enlarged in 1872, and, after the Town Council had
granted funds in 1888 for a professional school for the finer kinds of forging
and metal working, these institutions were combined in 1890 under the
present name.
In the older department or Sunday and Evening School, the instruction
includes: mathematics, as in the technical colleges with the exception of
the elements of analytical geometry; mechanics, applied mechanics, machine
design, mechanical technology; physics and chemistry, as in the technical
colleges, with the exception of chemical technology; the Swedish language
with essay-writing; German or English; writing; freehand drawing and
modelling; book-keeping suitable for the requirements of industry; architecture; — in
the Professional School for the Finer Kinds of Forging and Metal Working:
freehand drawing with styles of art, modelling, carving, engraving, metal casting,
chasing, metal hammering, etching, galvanizing, forging, filing, and turning.
Instruction is given in the Sunday and Evening School by 12 teachers and
in the Professional School by 4 teachers. During the years 1903—12 the number
of pupils (in the spring term) in the Sunday and Evening School was 205,
223, 187, 141, 186, 221, 232, 244, 215, and 205 respectively, and in the
Professional School for the Finer Kinds of Forging and Metal Working 42, 46, 34,
33, 36, 35, 41, 37, 36, and 29 respectively.
The school possesses 9 prize and donation funds, the total of which was 45 970
kronor at the end of 1911.
E) The Technical School of Stockholm was opened as a special "Sunday
drawing school for artisans" in 1844, but was taken over in the following
year by the Swedish Sloyd (Industrial Art) Association, and began work
in 184-6 as the Sloyd Association School or, as it was generally called, the
Sloyd School. After having received grants both from the State and the
city of Stockholm, the school was taken over entirely by the State in 1860,
but it has, nevertheless, continued to receive grants from the city. ■
In the course of time, the school has undergone several extensions and
reor-ganizations. Thus, in 1859, a technical school for women pupils was added.
