EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph from 1917, a group of young boys intently focus on their compasses as they receive instruction aboard the training ship Arethusa, moored at Greenhithe, Kent. The children, dressed in uniforms and looking determined, are engrossed in the lesson given by their teacher, who stands at the front of the room, pointing to a map spread out on a table. The Arethusa was a children's home and care facility, run by the Children's Home and Care Services, which provided welfare and social services to orphans and other vulnerable children during this period. The ship, which was moored at Greenhithe, offered a unique and innovative approach to providing care and education to these children, allowing them to learn valuable skills and gain experience at sea. The boys in the photograph appear to be completely absorbed in the lesson, their young faces serious and intent as they follow their teacher's instructions. The compasses, which were essential navigational tools for sailors, symbolize the importance of learning and exploration, as well as the boys' potential for future adventures and opportunities. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the experiences of children during a time of great upheaval and change. It serves as a reminder of the importance of education, care, and support, especially for those who are most in need. The Arethusa and similar institutions played a crucial role in providing these essential services, helping to shape the lives of countless young people and giving them the tools they needed to navigate the challenges of the world around them.
