Dr. F. A. Schmidt of Bonn and Captain C. J. J. Lefebure of Brussels, who visited Stockholm in 1899, have recorded their observations and impressions in the following:

Dr. Schmidt—“Die Gymnastik an den schwedischen Volksschulen nebst einem Anhang: Die Militärischen Übungen an den höheren Schulen in Stockholm.” Berlin, R. Gaertner, 1900 (Reprinted from the Monatsschrift für das Turnwesen for 1900). Second edition 1909. Third edition, revised and enlarged, under the title “Die schwedische Schulgymnastik,” in 1912 (Berlin, Weidmannsche Buchhandlung).

Captain Lefebure—“L’Éducation Physique en Suède.” Brussels, H. Lamertin; Paris, A. Maloine, 1903. Second edition 1908 (Paris, Felix Alcan).

The Swedish Department of Church Affairs and Education (Kungl. Ecklesiastik-Departmentet) publishes statistical reports covering the work of the common schools (Berättelse om folkskolorna) and the higher schools for boys (Berättelse om Statens Allmänna läroverk för gossar). The board of directors of the common schools and the rectors of the various higher schools for boys in Stockholm also prepare elaborate annual reports which contain information regarding the physical training of pupils.
