EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1899, depicts a group of 7 or 8 year-old students intently studying a magnet in their science classroom at the 8th Division in Washington, D.C. The image, held in the Library of Congress, captures the essence of late 19th century education in the United States. The desks are arranged in neat rows, each equipped with a small, individual slate and chalk. The boys and girls, dressed in their Sunday best, are fully engaged in their lesson, their curious expressions reflecting the excitement of discovery. The teacher, an assistant or perhaps the main educator, stands at the front of the room, observing the students with a watchful eye. The magnet, a simple yet fascinating object, serves as a window to the wonders of science, sparking the imagination of young minds. The photograph, a testament to the rich educational heritage of the United States, invites us to reflect on the enduring importance of science education and the joy of learning.
