K. L. Lohmander, of Lund, has dis
tlnguished himself by rare pluck and
perseverance in the line of study. In
1888 he received a teachers certificate
from the Lund normal school, and i'm
medlately accepted position as ex.
traordinary teacher in Malmo. In the
spring OF 1892 he passed the so-called
students examination, receiving his
bachelors degree. The same year he
was engaged to teach in the public
schools of Helsingborg, and in 1894 he
was appointed regular teacher. Be-
sides doing regular work as teacher,
he soon became very popular as pri.
vate instructor, This extraordinary
activity might have kept him from
pursuing his own studies. But this
was not the case. One day he sur
prised his acquaintances by passing
the first division of the examination for
the degree of candidate of philosophy;
and last spring he passed the second
division, receiving degree of candi-
date of philosophy. Mr.. Lohmander
