Cotlrtre Honors Bae.
Dr. N. (l. V. Lagerstedt, Commis
sioner from Sweden to the world's
fair at St. Louis, says that Aupus
tiina college is an honor to the Swedish-American
people, considering' the
important results of its activity and
because it is maintained through
the love and sacrifice of the Swedish
Americana. Dr. Legerstedt stopped
of? in Rock Island on his way to St.
Louis to be present at the commence
ment exercises.
Dr. Lagerstedt spoke of the thret
moat important kinds of Swedish
schools at the present time: The sec
ondary state schools for boys, the sec
ondary schools for girls, and the com
mon .schools.
With regard to the stale secondary
xhools for boys, he put forth the
most prominent traits of the very Im
portant reform which, in consequence
of a resolution by the Swedish riksdag
passed the first days of this month. i
going to be carried out in the immedi
ate future. The study of classical
languages is going to be considerably
reduced. Latin may be studied only
during the last four years of the
Course instead of six years as hith
erto. Some of the schools are to be
coeducational, this being the fit
time that coeducational secondary
schools are instituted by the state in
Sweden. A certain amount of liberty
in the Choice of subjects for study in
the upper clashes will be allowed the
students.
Steady Orowth of Common School.
Speaking of the steady growth of
the Swedish common schools. Dr. La
gerstedt held forth what a small per
eentage of illiteracy Sweden has, only
one in a thousand inhabitants, the
Scandinavian countries and Germany
standing foremost in this respect in
the whole world. He mentioned that
the Swedish common school teachers
themselves in our days occupy a very
prominent place as leaders and pro
moters of the development of these
schools.
The Swedish higher girls' schools
of today may be considered as repre
senting preferably the ideal stand
pi. int in education, the psychological
and pedagogic view. The most prom
inent writer now living on education
al questions in Sweden is a represen
tative of these schools. Miss Anna
Sandstrom, principal of a higher
school for girls in Stockholm. If you
look fn- the best and moat elaborate
methods and ways of imparting in
struction in Swedish schools, yon may
probably find them in some of the
hlghef schools for girls.
The speaker pointed oat the gen
eral tendencies of present educational
development in Sweden irrespective of
different kinds of schooK. The first
is a tendency in the direction of unity
a far as regards the lower grades of
schools the lower grades of the com
mon schools becoming the common
base of the higher grades of these
schools and the secondary schools;
coeducation of hoys and girls gaining
ground; the branching off of the clas
sical and modern line finding place at
a later period.
Txuttency In Ilia her BMMlSS.
With regard to the higher grades,
there is a tendency In an opposite di
rection, namely, to suit different abil
ities and practical needs in the pupils
iy arranging different lines and by
making the subjects of ins I ruction
option? I within certain limits. An
other tendency at hist is marked by
the earnest endeavors made to impart
the instruction in different subjects
in a way to make it as much as possi
ble fruitful with regard to the mental
and physical development of the pu-
pils.
Tin
speaker emphasized the fact
