EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as it transports us back to the early 1910s in the quaint town of Cassel, located in the northern region of France. The image showcases the communal school for boys (Ecole Communale de Garcons), which once stood proudly as a beacon of education for the young boys of the community. The boys, dressed in their crisp, white shirts and dark trousers, are seen engaged in their daily studies, with their teacher overseeing the lesson from the front of the classroom. The blackboard in the background displays the French language, a testament to the importance of literacy and language education during this time. The school building itself is a charming example of early 20th-century architecture, with its red-brick facade and large, arched windows that allow natural light to filter in. The boys appear focused and attentive, their expressions conveying a sense of determination and eagerness to learn. The communal school in Cassel was a vital institution, providing education to boys from all walks of life, regardless of their socio-economic backgrounds. It served as a foundation for their future, equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in life and contribute to their community. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of education and the role that schools play in shaping the lives of young people. It also offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the history and traditions of the town of Cassel and the people who once called it home.
