EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Class in a primary school, Orme, 2nd March 1909" takes us back in time to the early 20th century. Captured by an anonymous French photographer, this image is now housed at the Musee National de l'Education in Rouen, France. The photo depicts a classroom scene filled with young students immersed in their studies. The interior of the room exudes an atmosphere of discipline and order as rows of wooden desks are neatly arranged facing a blackboard. On that board, we can see a lesson on morals - specifically on how to be thrifty - highlighting the importance placed on ethical values during that era. A male teacher stands at the front of the class, diligently imparting knowledge to his pupils. A map of France adorns one wall, symbolizing both geographical education and national pride. The children themselves appear engaged and attentive; their youthful faces reflecting innocence and curiosity. This snapshot captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an important period for public instruction during France's Third Republic. Through this photograph's lens, we catch glimpses into history – witnessing not just formal education but also moral standards being instilled within these young minds. It serves as a reminder of how education has evolved over time while emphasizing timeless values such as thriftiness and morality that continue to shape our society today.
