EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time at the National Professional School in Armentieres, France, circa 1908. Located in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region in northern France, the National Professional School was an institution dedicated to providing quality education to young boys. In this image, we see the students engaged in a crucial fire drill, an essential safety practice that was an integral part of their curriculum. The boys, dressed in their school uniforms, are seen working together to extinguish a mock fire using buckets, ladders, and a hand pump. The presence of a lamppost in the foreground adds a sense of context, emphasizing the historical setting of the scene. The chain human passing safety practice is also evident in the photograph, with each boy passing the bucket to the next in a coordinated manner. Fire drills were an essential part of school life during this era, and this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. It serves as a reminder of the importance of safety practices, even in the early 20th century, and the role that education played in shaping the lives of young people. The image also highlights the human connection and teamwork that were essential components of school life during this time. Overall, this photograph is a valuable historical record of a bygone era and a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the students at the National Professional School in Armentieres.
