Education i'm Norway.

writer in the Peoples Magasine describes
the system of education in Norway
''lt is as thoroughly organized, if not so
highly developed, as that of the New England
States; and the Training College, High School,
and primary schools of Christiania are among
the most interesting and instructive sights to
be met with in the north of Europe. Through
out the country every child, from the age of
eight till confirmation, must attend the pri-
mary or higher schools. In these a good
knowledge OF reading, writing, and ciphering,
and also of English, drawing, sewing, ETC., is
impaired by teachers properly trained and
commissioned. In remote and thinly popu-
lated districts the schoolmasters reside for a
certain portion of the year, distributing their
work among two or three localities, as cir
cumstances may demand. Every household
and every adult pays small annual tax for
the maintenance of the district school, and the
magistrate and clergyman see that it is properly
managed. Thus, again, we have another dead
level of intelligence, or rather information,
among the peasantry; but little learning
has not been found in this case to produce any
very dangerous results.
Zone very remarkable effect and evidence
of the diffusion of elementary education is the
number of Norwegian newspapers, every con-
siderable village having its little journal, and
in the large towns many papers are published
daily. Speaking from my own limited expe.
rience, | found the people I met in Christiania
very intelligent and well informed. Almost
all were able to speak English with more or
less fluency, with high regard for English
literature-our modern Homer, the great Sir
Walter, being the universal favorite. In three
Norwegian book shops which l entered, l was
agreeably surprised to see one end of each
counter completely covered with numbers
the sixpenny edition of the Waverley Novels
interspersed with copies of some of our more
recent popular works.
"TRe rich old Morse literature is also a
favorite study with the large class of people
who read, and grammars, reading books, and
dictionaries of that venerable language are
issued in abundance from the Christiania
press. And it ought not to be forgotten that
the yearning after Scandinavian unity so
strong among men of education and students,
is in great measure due to the revived interest
in the old literature and traditions 80 power
fully promoted by the scholarly and lamented
Mtinch, and so we'll maintained by his dis
tipguished colleague, Professor Unger, and

the errors that had been pointed out, took this
method of expressing their disapproDation. The
actress burst into tears and buried her face in
her hands, whereupon the audience relented,
