EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'School Children at Play, Empire School House,' transports us back in time to the early 1910s in the Panama Canal Zone. The image showcases a group of enthusiastic schoolchildren engaged in a lively game during their recess, outside the historic Empire School House. Dressed in their simple yet charming attire, these children, filled with joy and excitement, embody the innocence and carefree spirit of childhood. The Empire School House, a significant historical landmark, stands proudly in the background. Built in 1912, this red-brick, two-story building served as a primary school for the children of the U.S. military personnel and civilians working on the construction of the Panama Canal. The school's name was a tribute to the United States' influence and power during that era. The Panama Canal Zone, a unique and diverse community, is depicted in this photograph through the children's diverse backgrounds and ethnicities. This image is a testament to the unity and camaraderie that existed among the children, despite their differences. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the importance of education and the simple joys of childhood. The Empire School House and its students have left an indelible mark on history, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the lives of these children and the rich history of the Panama Canal Zone.
