EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in 1911 at Chaucer School, London, this poignant photograph portrays the diligent work of a school nurse examining young girls' hair for head lice. In an era where hygiene practices were still evolving, this image offers a glimpse into the efforts made to combat the prevalent issue of infestations among students. The scene unfolds within a modest classroom setting, with one nurse meticulously inspecting each girl's hair while another sits attentively at her desk. The intensity on their faces reflects their dedication to ensuring the well-being of these children. This snapshot serves as a testament to the importance placed on health and cleanliness during that time. Located in Bermondsey, Southwark, London, Chaucer School was under the jurisdiction of both Greater London Council (GLC) and London County Council. The significance of this moment is further underscored by its preservation in Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection. This historical document not only sheds light on early 20th-century medical practices but also highlights societal attitudes towards education and public health. It reminds us that even amidst challenges like head lice infestations, dedicated individuals like these nurses worked tirelessly to ensure a safe learning environment for young minds. As we gaze upon this monochrome print today, let us appreciate the tireless efforts made by women like these nurses who played an integral role in shaping our educational systems.
