A Norwegian School

Norway boasts several practical institutions in the way of schools, and alittle information about one of these may not be without interest. The school in question is situated at some miles distance from Christiania, and looks, as one approaches it, like an ordinary farmstead, vith dairy, etc. The interior is plainly but neatly and tastefully arranged. At present there are six pupils, who are divided into two sections, and every one of them is occupied in accordance with a fixed plan. In the forenoon one section has the work in 1he house, and must do the work both of the mistress and the servants. They each have a number; number one, for instauce, is busy in the kitchen. number two is making the rooms tidy, and number three attends to the dairy. The other section is at the same time engaged in weaving, sewing, cutting out, etc. As sections and numbers change every week all the girls get the different work in turn. At 12 o'clock dinner is served, and then follows some hours' instruction iu Norwejiian. orthography. botany. nntural science, etc. The garden, WMch ia alwaysin beautiful order, is also entirely kept up by the pupils. The school is more particularly intended for peasant girls, and each courso lasts a year; the pupils must have completed their eighteenth year before entering the school. The pay, including everything, is only fifteen kreutzera (about $4) a month, and there are two pupils free. Similar schools will now be erected in various parts of Norway, at the instance of the Society for the Welfare of Norway. The number of applicants has been ten times greater than the accoinmodaticm.
