Jacknife School, Gem County, Idaho, 1939 - Capturing the Resilience of American Rural Education
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this poignant photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, we are transported to a small rural community in Gem County, Idaho. The image showcases the Jacknife School building with its weathered clapboard exterior and two doors that symbolize opportunities for knowledge and growth. Eleven pupils stand proudly in front of their school, representing hope amidst the challenges of the Great Depression era. Among them are two children from families belonging to Ola self-help sawmill co-op – a testament to the spirit of cooperation and resilience within this tight-knit community. The attire worn by these boys and girls reflects their humble backgrounds - bib overalls for some boys while others don simple dresses or dungarees. Their clothing may be modest but it does not diminish their eagerness to learn or dampen their youthful spirits. Dorothea Lange's lens captures more than just a group portrait; it encapsulates an entire era marked by economic hardships and limited resources. Through her work as part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) under the Office of War Information (OWI), Lange sought to document America's struggles during this time while also shedding light on its strength and determination. This powerful image serves as a reminder that education is not confined solely to urban centers but thrives even in remote corners like Gem County. It stands as a tribute to educators who tirelessly nurtured young minds despite challenging circumstances. As we gaze upon this photograph today at the Library of Congress' Congressional Library archives, we honor those who paved the way for future generations through education during one of America's most trying times.
