EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to the year 1893 in Britain, where board school girls are being taught the essential skill of making a bed. The image captures a moment in history when education was not only about academics, but also about instilling practical life skills in young students.
The scene depicts a group of young girls attentively learning how to neatly tuck in sheets and fluff pillows under the guidance of their teacher. It offers a glimpse into the daily routine of board schools during this era, highlighting the emphasis placed on discipline and domestic duties as part of a well-rounded education.
As we study this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of how far educational practices have evolved since then. Today, lessons on household chores may seem outdated or gender-stereotyped, but at that time they were considered essential for preparing young girls for their future roles as homemakers.
Through this historical photograph, we gain insight into the social norms and values that shaped education in 1893 Britain. It serves as a poignant reminder of how much society has progressed in terms of gender equality and educational opportunities for all.
