EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from 1870, we are transported back in time to an American elementary school during a crucial moment - the school examination. The image showcases a bustling classroom filled with eager pupils and their dedicated teacher. As we observe closely, we notice that it is late in the day, as sunlight streams through the windows casting long shadows on the wooden desks. The young students appear engrossed in their tasks, diligently working on their exams. Among them is a determined-looking girl who catches our attention with her focused expression. It is evident that literacy and education were highly valued during this era, as both boys and girls can be seen participating actively in the learning process. The scene also offers us a glimpse into gender dynamics of the time period. While men dominate most professions depicted here – such as teaching or examining – women play an essential role too; some can be seen assisting students or supervising activities within the class. This wood engraving serves not only as a historical artifact but also highlights the significance placed on education during America's early years. It reminds us of how far we have come since then while urging us to appreciate and continue striving for educational opportunities for all children today.
