File — Small-Collections-Box: 3, Folder: PICT 000-166
Scope and Content
From the Collection:
This collection contains black-and-white photographs (13 x 18 cm or smaller) from 1934 with typewritten text on back. The photos show pupils and teachers at the Rationalist or Socialist Schools of Tabasco, where agricultural practice was taught in post-Revolutionary Mexico. Children are shown working in fields, attending lectures and demonstrations about farming, operating farm machinery, weaving straw, and on the playground. The photo captions are both explanatory and propagandistic. A number of comments refute allegations attributed to a Jesuit named Kenney, who is said to have slandered, in a sensationalistic manner, the school and its teaching methods. Comments reflect Post-revolutionary ideology, issues of agrarian and educational reform, and conflicts between Church and State.
One student is identified as Lenin Garrido Llovera, son of the Governor, while younger students are shown at "open-air" schools named after Plutarcho Elias Calles and Alvaro Obregón. The larger group portrait shows Rodolfo Elias Calles and Tomás Garrido Canabal, Governors of the Mexican states of Sonora and Tabasco, with Yaqui Indian schoolchildren. Photo captions on back are in Spanish.
