Miss Kline and Her Students, Rhode's School, Berks County, Pennsylvania, 1913

Miss Kline and Her Students, Rhode's School, Berks County, Pennsylvania, 1913
A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of school days.

This is a real photo postcard that's dated 1913 on the other side. The photo shows a teacher and her students at Rhode's School, a one-room schoolhouse -- now a private residence -- located along Old U.S. 22 about two miles east of Krumsville in Greenwich Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania.

A local publication reprinted this photo in 1969 with the following caption:

"The teacher in this picture was Miss Carrie W. Kline [1857-1931], a native of Richmond Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. She was a graduate of the Keystone State Normal School [now Kutztown University], class of 1877. She started teaching at the age of 19 and followed the profession for fifty years in the schools of Penna. She taught at Rhode's School from 1908 to 1915."

-- From Da Ausauga (Kempton, Pa.: Fereinicht Pennsylfawnish Deitsch Fulk, Inc.), vol. 9, no. 4 (June-July 1969), p. 1.

I have not had much luck getting vintage indoor school pics (quite a few front step ones) but they are so great to see - really giving the feel of the school house and those times.
The pose is very sweet (can you read what they wrote?) the faces of the sitting children are precious.
Nice old wood stove - that the teacher would have been responsible for loading, most likely!

Is it still standing as a private house? It would be cool for the owners to have a copy of this!

One of the most interesting school photos I've ever seen, Alan.
