Black and white image. Young students are seated in rows at long wooden desks inside the Dorena School, located in the town of Dorena, in Lane County, Oregon. The desks have ironwork supports. A female teacher stands behind the students; she is dressed in a long sleeved shirt and long skirt. Her hair is braided and secured in a bow on the side of her head. The walls of the classroom are made of wood and decorated with plants and a picture. Blackboards with wooden ledges are secured to the walls. A tall window covered with a sheer curtain is visible next to the blackboards. An oil lamp hangs from the ceiling. In the backgound a wooden door is visible. Some of the students faces are blurred from movement while the photograph was being taken.
