EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the year 1910, where a group of schoolchildren can be seen enthusiastically digging in a field near St Columb Minor Churchtown, Cornwall. The image captures an era when education was intertwined with practical learning and hands-on experiences. The scene is filled with youthful energy as these children eagerly engage in their outdoor activity. Their small figures are scattered across the field, each armed with shovels or trowels, diligently working on their assigned tasks. It is evident that this exercise aims to instill values of hard work and cooperation among them. Amidst the picturesque backdrop of Church Street, this photograph not only showcases the enthusiasm of these young minds but also provides a glimpse into rural life at that time. The simplicity and charm of early 20th-century Cornwall radiate through every element captured by Ennor's lens. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how education has evolved over the years while highlighting timeless values such as curiosity and exploration. This print encapsulates an important chapter in Cornish history - one that celebrates both childhood innocence and the significance of experiential learning within our educational system.
