EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily milk round at the Barnet Industrial School in Hertfordshire, England, in the year 1908. The image showcases a group of young boys, dressed in simple uniforms, standing confidently in front of horses and carts, each loaded with a large milk churn. The horses, with their powerful muscles strained, seem poised to pull the carts forward, ready to begin another day of delivering milk to the school and its community. The Barnet Industrial School was an institution designed to provide education, training, and shelter for children who were either neglected, orphaned, or in need of care and guidance. The milk round was an essential part of the school's daily routine, ensuring that the children received a nutritious start to their day. The boys in the photograph appear to be taking pride in their roles, as they prepare to embark on this important task. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the daily lives of children in an industrial school during the early 20th century. It also highlights the importance of community and the interconnectedness of various aspects of rural life, such as agriculture, education, and animal husbandry. The image is a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of children, even in the face of adversity, and the essential role that institutions like the Barnet Industrial School played in shaping their futures.
