CHAPTER XVII.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN THE SCHOOLS OF SWEDEN.
In Sweden, as in Germany,[135] there are two types of public schools,
the elementary, common, or _folkskola_ (people’s school), and the
secondary, or _allmänna läroverk_, corresponding in general to the German
_Gymnasium_ and _Realschule_ and the French _lycée_. An American college
student at the end of his sophomore year has received an education
roughly equivalent to that of the graduate from a Swedish _allmänna
läroverk_. In the matter of equipment, organization, and method there
is such uniformity throughout Sweden that if allowance is made for less
favorable conditions in smaller cities and in country regions a fairly
accurate, and more definite conception of physical training in the
schools will be obtained by confining attention to Stockholm, the capital
and largest city.[136] It will be convenient to consider, in order, the
_folkskola_, the _allmänna läroverk_, the higher schools for girls, and
private schools.
