Figure 1.--Here we see a boy with a fountain pen in 1952 working on his copy book. We are not entirely sure what went into these copy books. |

Most classroom photographs do not show actual teaching activities, but rather the a pause in teaching where the children posed for a portrait. We can, however sometimes make out what is being studied. One thing we notice in many classroom photographs is copy books. I am not sure what the Germann term for copy book is. This is something we do not see to the same extent in America. We are not entirely sure why. We are also not precisely sure what went into the copy books. We do not think that the children were taking notes. Rather I think they were copying down information that the teachers were dictating to them. We are not entirely sure about this. In va Latin class the students might writecout a Latin passage. Than they mightvtranslate it at home. Hopefully our German readers will tell us a little about went down into their copy books. There was agood deal of wrote moemory work, although perhaps not as much as in France. Passages and poems to be memorized may have been included in copy books. We note abacuses in some photographs so they must have been used in some math lessons.
