EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Deuxieme Ecole Sultani" or "The Sultan Secondary School" in Adana, Turkey, dates back to the 1910s. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history of Turkish education during that era. The school, with its imposing architecture, is situated along the banks of a serene river, with a waterwheel gracefully turning in the background. The sultanic title of the school suggests a connection to the Ottoman Empire's educational system, which was renowned for its emphasis on providing quality education to its citizens. The students in this photograph, dressed in their formal attire, exude a sense of concentration and determination as they engage in their studies. The classroom, filled with desks and chalkboards, reflects the importance placed on learning during this period. The natural light filtering in through the windows adds to the inviting atmosphere of the school. The presence of the waterwheel, a common feature in Turkish towns during the Ottoman era, underscores the interconnectedness of education and the natural environment. The wheel, which would have once been a vital source of power for the community, now serves as a reminder of the region's industrial past. This photograph offers a unique window into the history of Turkish education during the early 20th century, showcasing the dedication of students and educators to their craft, as well as the importance of community and the natural world in shaping the learning experience.
