A Visit to Lundsberg School (1912)

A depiction of the warm country life at the Lundsberg boarding school offers rowing and a boat excursion to Långbanshyttan. This silent film is shown with new music by Matti Bye.

Lundsberg's school is a private boarding school in Warmland Storfors and was founded in 1896 by wholesaler William Olsson. Today, the school is perhaps best known by Prince Carl Philip, his grandfather Prince Gustav Adolf and several other royalty students. The report is recorded October 12-13, 1912 and is divided into chapters with their overall headings, which are then illustrated by one or more tables. Initially, we get to see the students on their way to school but also some pictures showing buildings and environments. The students' sports activities are depicted by images from running, javelin throwing, high jump, pole jumping, fencing and rowing. In a large open boat, you then go on an excursion to Långbanshyttan, where the inventor John Ericsson was born. From the tour we get to see, among other things, Filipstad church, several views from Långban and finally John Ericsson's burial chapel and the memorial stone over John and Nils Ericsson, at Långbanshyttan's school. The stone inscription ends the film: "Their path through work to knowledge and indestructible reputation is open to every Swedish youngster
