EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Chicago: Open Air School" captures a unique educational setting in early 20th century Chicago. The image showcases the rooftop of Mary Crane Nursery, which served as an open air school for children during this time period. Taken by photographer Frank P. Burke around 1910, the picture offers a glimpse into a classroom unlike any other. In this intriguing scene, bundled-up students can be seen sitting at their desks on the roof, braving the cold weather with coats and hoods to keep warm. Despite the chilly conditions, their faces are filled with curiosity and concentration as they engage in their reading assignments. Through the window behind them, we catch a glimpse of turn-of-the-century Chicago's urban landscape. The open air school concept was revolutionary for its time, aiming to improve children's health by providing fresh air and sunlight while they studied. This progressive approach recognized that nature played an essential role in fostering learning and well-being. Preserved by Granger Art on Demand from The Granger Collection archives in New York City, this historical photograph not only documents an innovative educational practice but also serves as a testament to how education has evolved over time. It reminds us of our collective commitment to continuously explore new methods that enhance both academic achievement and overall student welfare.
