EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1940s, the headmaster of Tennal Approved School in Birmingham, England, takes a moment to connect with his young residents before bedtime. Once known as Harborne School, this children's home and care institution provided welfare services to orphans and other vulnerable children during a time of great need. The headmaster, with a book in hand and a kind expression on his face, stands near a microphone, ready to share a bedtime story over the loudspeaker system that reached each dormitory. The children, nestled in their beds, listen intently, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of their bedside lamps. The simple act of storytelling, a cherished tradition in many households, brought comfort and a sense of normalcy to these children's lives amidst the challenges they faced. The Tennal Approved School, founded in the late 1800s, was one of many institutions that played a crucial role in providing care and support to children in need during the 20th century. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of the importance of compassion, care, and the power of storytelling in creating a sense of community and security for those who were away from their families. This image, taken in the 1940s, is a testament to the enduring spirit of those who dedicated their lives to the welfare and well-being of children, and the profound impact that even the smallest gestures can have on their lives.
