Black and white image. A close-up of three children inside a classroom at the Disston School who are seated at desks with their left hand raised. Two young girls in the foreground wear dresses. The boy behind the girls is dressed in a coat, trousers, and shoes with a hole near the toes. The wooden desks have iron legs. The floor and wall of the schoolroom are made of wood. Mounted to the wall is a light fixture and a picture of an individual. A metal pipe that's connected to a wood-burning stove is visible in the background in front of a window whose shade is drawn.
