EDITORS COMMENTS
. This chromolitho print, titled "The True Merit is Modesty" offers a fascinating insight into the educational practices of 19th century France. Created by an unknown artist, this illustration captures the essence of modesty and its significance in shaping young minds. Set within a classroom adorned with ephemera and postcards, we witness a group of young boys engrossed in their mathematics lesson. The blackboard serves as their canvas for learning addition, while chalk dust fills the air. However, it is not just academic prowess that takes center stage here; rather, it is the moral values instilled through education that truly shine. Amidst this scene lies a shy and demure child who embodies the true merit of modesty. With downcast eyes and reserved demeanor, he exemplifies humility and restraint—a virtue highly regarded during that era. This poignant portrayal reminds us that true greatness lies not only in intellectual achievements but also in one's character. Through this artwork, we are transported back to a time when schools emphasized both academic excellence and social morality. It serves as a testament to the enduring importance placed on molding well-rounded individuals who possess not only knowledge but also integrity. "The True Merit is Modesty" invites us to reflect upon our own educational systems today—how they shape our children's values alongside their intellects—and encourages us to cherish these timeless principles for generations to come
