1887 Asylum Carter Certificate Certificates Elementary Excellent Fatherless Geometry Passed Percy Reedham Schools Surrey
EDITORS COMMENTS
this photograph depicts a young boy named Percy Carter, proudly holding up his School Certificate after passing "Excellent" in Geometry of the first grade for children in elementary day schools, in the year 1887. The image captures a moment of achievement and pride, as Percy, a resident of the Asylum for Fatherless Children in Reedham, Surrey, England, holds his certificate aloft for all to see. The Asylum for Fatherless Children was an institution established to provide care and education for children who had been orphaned or left destitute. The elementary day schools attended by Percy and his peers were part of the National Society for Promoting Religious Education, which aimed to provide free, secular education to children in England and Wales. The certificate itself is a testament to Percy's hard work and dedication to his studies. Geometry was a subject that required a strong foundation in mathematical concepts, and passing with "Excellent" marks would have required a deep understanding of the subject matter. The certificate bears the crest of the Asylum, which adds a sense of institutional pride to the achievement. This photograph offers a glimpse into the educational system of late-Victorian Britain and the importance placed on education, even for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. It also serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of individuals like Percy, who despite facing challenges in their early lives, were able to excel in their studies and make the most of the opportunities available to them. Overall, this photograph is a significant historical artifact that sheds light on the educational landscape of the past and the determination of individuals to overcome adversity and succeed. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of education and the role it plays in shaping the lives of individuals and communities.
