This image of 20 young girls learning sewing was printed on a postcard. The class is taking place in a Brookings High School classroom. The blackboards covering the two walls we can see are filled with math problems, assignments and schedules. In the front of the room there is one bare light bulb hanging from the ceiling. A date that can be read on one of the blackboards dates this image to 1909. (1998:019:0001)
