Take a good look at learning in the making! These attendees of the Lincoln Bench School study their reading lesson in the Oregon shade. In the year 1918, only elementary school was required for children. But in 1939, when this picture was taken, all that had changed. School became a fundamental aspect of each young person's life, mandated by the government. This photograph takes a tranquil look at young Americans enriching their minds at such an influential age. The future is being formed right before your very eyes.
