Figure 1.-- Here we see the children and their young lady teacher in 1908. Notice how the teacher is sitting in the middle of the class. She looks young, perhaps even a new teacher. This seems to suggest a closer relationship with the children than similar portraits where the teacher is at the side or behind the class. The children seem very serious. Notice the girls holding flowers. |

This seems to suggest a closer relationship with the children than similar portraits where the teacher is at the side or behind the class. I'm not sure how common lady teachers were in these village schools. The children seem very serious. Only the teacher has a hint of a smile. Her name was Frau Chavanne which suprised me a bit. I thought she might be unmarried. In America at the time, lady school teachers were often replaced when they got married. Notice her hair style in which her long hair was done up.
