DENMARK 



I have received the following report from the National 

 Council of Women of Denmark, Copenhagen. There are 

 in Denmark no horticultural colleges for women only. 

 But the colleges and schools admit women, and usually 

 on the same conditions as men. 



I. — DEN KONGELIGE VETERINOE AND LAND BOHOJSKOLE 



(Ttie Royal Veterinary and Agricultural College), 

 Copenhagen 



(PubHc State Institution), has also a division for horticul- 

 ture. The training is chiefly theoretical, and does not 

 include practical gardening, which must be learned else- 

 where. The course lasts for two years (of two terms each), 

 and leads up to a state examination ; the candidate who 

 successfully passes this has the title of " havebrugs- 

 kandidat." 



Certain entrance qualifications are required. The 

 entrance fee is 10 kr.,* the fee per term (two terms a year), 

 about 50 kr. ; the examination fees. Part I., 15 kr. ; Part 



II. , 25 kr. Scholarships may be obtained. The college 



* One krone = ls."l|d.
