Taken by renowned photographer Lewis Wickes Hine in October 1921, this image showcases the humble yet essential facilities at a rural school. The focal point of the photo is undoubtedly the row of weathered outhouses standing proudly against a backdrop of lush greenery. These simple structures served as vital sanitation amenities for students and teachers alike. Their presence symbolizes both the challenges faced by rural communities in providing basic necessities and their determination to overcome them.
