Description
This black-and-white photograph, taken on Ruth Pook's first day of teaching, shows the unlined classroom of Mount Beppo State School in Queensland, including two teachers and 35 students. The teachers are each supervising students in half of the room. Students sit at six long desks. Younger students at the front use slates and slate pencils and an older girl in the back row stands. A teacher's desk is at the front of the room. Maps, posters and pictures are on the walls. Handwritten beneath the image is: 'My first day of school teaching. Mt Beppo. Feb. 16th, 1910'.
