EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "At A London School Board Truant School" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of education and discipline. The image, part of a page from the Illustrated London News published on December 30,1893, showcases various scenes within this unique institution. The first illustration introduces us to new arrivals at the truant school. We witness children entering with apprehension but also hope for change. Next, we are transported to a drill session where these young students engage in physical activities under careful supervision. Moving forward, we encounter the slojd shop where craftsmanship is fostered among these wayward pupils. Here they learn practical skills that may shape their future paths. Another scene depicts soap and water time – an essential aspect of hygiene emphasized within this educational setting. Finally, we witness dinner time – a moment when these children gather together to nourish both body and mind. This communal meal represents not only sustenance but also an opportunity for social interaction and camaraderie. Through this engraving by English School from the 19th century, we gain insight into how truancy was addressed by the London School Board during that era. It serves as a reminder of society's efforts to provide education even for those who had strayed from its path - offering them structure, discipline, practical skills, cleanliness lessons alongside meals shared with peers. This historical print captures both the challenges faced by truant children and society's commitment towards their rehabilitation
