Scope and Contents
Man Teaching in Classroom, 1947. A man of European decent is standing in front of a group of young Transkei men, each of whom is sitting at a desk with a book open. He is teaching them contour plowing and other methods to stop certain agricultural problems like soil erosion. The school where he is teaching was designed by the government in 1912 to train Transkei youth Western methods and practices of agriculture that might help them with the problem of soil erosion. Photograph by Constance Stuart Larrabee, 1947.
In 1947, Constance Staurt Larrabee visited the Transkei. She was there researching the housing problems in Southern Africa.
There are no prints of this negative in the Constance Stuart Larrabee Collection. EEPA produced an 8x10 study print for reference purposes.
