EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from December 1938, we are granted a window view into a bustling schoolroom. Seven diligent children, accompanied by their dedicated teacher, can be seen hard at work on various tasks. The atmosphere is one of focused learning and intellectual curiosity. The blackboard at the front of the classroom serves as a visual representation of the challenging lesson underway. It poses an intriguing question about rivers draining Asia and emptying into the Indian Ocean. As young minds grapple with this geographical puzzle, they are encouraged to identify where each river originates and which countries it traverses before reaching its destination. Additionally, they must determine the nearest port to each river's mouth and analyze its strategic placement. Amidst this vibrant educational setting hangs a print depicting a polar expedition, serving as both inspiration and reminder of the vast world waiting to be explored beyond these four walls. The room itself exudes warmth with its cozy wallpaper backdrop and an easel displaying handwritten notes or artwork created by students. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office Ref No. Garland N17720, this image offers us a glimpse into an era when education was valued for nurturing curious minds eager to learn about our diverse planet.
