Classrooms and Buildings

Figure 1.--This is an American postcard-back school photograpg probably taken in thev 1910s around the teacher's deskn in a one-room rural school. Note the handle of the ubiquitous school bell on her desk. Click on the image to see the rest of the photograph. Most school portraits at the time were taken outside where the lighting was better. More information on American 1910s classrooms is available.

Only after working withn this section for some time did we realize that clasrooms and buildings are another subject that is interesting to cover. There are already many images in the school section that show classrooms and buildings. And they would would be interestng to look at in more detail as we continue to expand our school section. We see very basic schools to huge elabirate buildings. There have of course been huge changes over time as teaching priorities and methods change. And we see large differences from country to country. Of course a major factor here is economics. Rich countries of course are able to build much more elaborate facities for their school children. The physical plant of the school, however, does not always equate with the quality of the schools which we see all too commonly with modern American education. There are also huge differences from country to country. And of course the classrooms and buildings reflected the age of the children and their needs. We will try to link existing pages as we begin to build this section, but this is easier thn it sounds. If you note an image on our site that should be linked here, please let us know.
