EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the Edinburgh Day Industrial School, located on St. Johns Hill, circa 1908. The image showcases a carpentry class in session, where young boys intently focus on their craft under the watchful eye of their teacher. The industrial school, also known as a Children's Home or Care Home, provided essential services for orphans and children in need of care and welfare during this era. The boys, dressed in their uniforms, are engrossed in their work, some using hand tools while others observe and learn from their peers. The room is filled with the aroma of fresh wood and the sound of hammers striking against wood, creating an atmosphere of productivity and learning. The industrial school aimed to provide these children with valuable skills and training, enabling them to acquire employment and lead independent lives upon leaving the institution. The Edinburgh Day Industrial School was an integral part of the social welfare system during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It offered a safe and nurturing environment for children who were orphaned, abandoned, or unable to live with their families. The school's various departments, including carpentry, provided hands-on training and education to help these children build a better future for themselves. This photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and commitment of the teachers and staff at the Edinburgh Day Industrial School to the welfare and development of the children in their care.
