DescriptionNine schoolchildren, dressed in winter clothing and carrying lunch pails and books, stand on the dirt road outside of a one-room schoolhouse. According to the signpost on the right, the road is on the way to Canaan Valley, which is four miles away, and is just past the intersection of the road to South Sandisfield. A leafless tree stands beside the schoolhouse.
