EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Lewis Hine in March 1917, transports us back to a kindergarten classroom at the Horace Mann School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The image showcases young children engrossed in an early education lesson on carpentry. With tiny hammers in hand, boys and girls diligently work together to create wooden doll house pieces. The sepia-toned print beautifully captures the essence of rural American education during this era. A schoolteacher stands nearby, guiding her students as they develop their skills and literacy through hands-on learning. The interior of the classroom exudes warmth and simplicity, reflecting the humble surroundings of a Southwestern community. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the power of play-based learning as these children eagerly engage with their task. Their concentration is palpable as they acquire essential life skills such as problem-solving and fine motor coordination. Hine's photograph serves not only as a historical artifact but also as a reminder of the importance placed on early childhood education even over a century ago. It highlights how educators recognized that fostering creativity and practical abilities from an early age was crucial for well-rounded development. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Lewis Hine all those years ago, it reminds us that education has always been about more than just textbooks – it is about nurturing young minds through experiential learning opportunities like these woodworking lessons at Horace Mann School.
