Public jedueation assumes rather a high position in Copenhagen, greal progress having been made, especially Avilhin the last few ycars, in spreading useful practical knowlcdge, mueh importance being attached thereto even in the learned schools. All the schools of the metro­ polis are under the inspection of a funelionary appoinled by the crown. The Met ropol i t an S e ho o l , whose hand- some budding is situated opposite Fruekirke, is a public sehool wilh about 150 pupils. It, like the otlier so called l e a r n e d schools and many private schools, has the privilege of sending students to the university. Of pri­ vate schools Mr. Bohr’s , lormcrly Westens, is the largest, having nearly 600 seholars. The sehool of Ci v i c -Vi r t ue ( Bo r g e r ­ dyden) in Christianshavn condueled by Mr. Ilelms, and the sehool of the same name in Copenhagen under Mr. Uovsing are also tlrst rate schools. In all there are about 120 pri­ vate schools. — S v e nné Lankj ær ’s and
