EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to a simpler time in Eastern Oregon. The image showcases an Eastern Oregon county school nestled amidst a serene sage bush clearing in Baker County. With its rustic wooden exterior and charming bell tower, this schoolhouse stands as a symbol of American heritage. Despite its modest size, only seven pupils are enrolled at this rural institution. The Great Depression had cast its shadow over the nation, impacting education and economics alike. Lange's lens captures not just a building but also the resilience of these students who continue their pursuit of knowledge despite challenging circumstances. The photograph evokes nostalgia for a bygone era when life revolved around community values and simplicity. As we gaze upon this still image preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, we can almost hear the echoes of laughter on the porch and feel the warmth emanating from within those walls. Dorothea Lange's work during her tenure with Farm Security Administration (FSA) documented everyday life during difficult times across America. This particular piece reflects her regionalism approach - capturing authentic moments that highlight both struggle and strength. As we admire this poignant snapshot frozen in time, let us remember that education is timeless; it endures even through recessions and hardships. May this image serve as a reminder to cherish our roots while striving for progress in our own communities today.
