Daily Inspection - Nurturing Health and Education in 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, taken by Lewis Wickes Hine in 1917, offers a glimpse into the daily routine of a school in Comanche County, Oklahoma. The image portrays a significant aspect of early 20th-century education - the meticulous inspection of teeth and finger nails. In this particular classroom at School 49, older pupils take charge under the watchful guidance of their teacher. With utmost seriousness, they examine each other's teeth and inspect their classmates' finger nails while the teacher diligently records the results. This ritual has been faithfully carried out every single day throughout the year. The photograph not only captures an intimate moment within an educational setting but also highlights the importance placed on personal hygiene during that era. It serves as a reminder that health was considered paramount for both physical well-being and academic success. Lewis Wickes Hine's lens beautifully captures these young minds engaging with one another to ensure good oral hygiene and cleanliness. Their focused expressions reveal determination to fulfill their responsibilities as caretakers of one another's health. This historical snapshot provides us with insight into American schooling practices from over a century ago while showcasing Hine's talent for documenting social issues through his photography. It stands as a testament to how education extends beyond traditional subjects, emphasizing holistic development encompassing both mind and body.
