The Teacher and the Scholars, Weedville, Pa., Nov. 12, 1906

The Teacher and the Scholars, Weedville, Pa., Nov. 12, 1906
Addressed on other the side to: "Miss Eunice Mitchell, Mansfield, Pennsylvania. S.N.S."

Postmarked: Weedville, Pa., Nov. 12, 1906, and Mansfield, Pa., Nov. 13, 1906.

"Hello Eunice. Here are two of my scholars and the primary teacher. H.B.M. Thomas, Lewis & Weed."

Harry B. Mitchell ("H.B.M."), a school principal in Weedville, Pennsylvania, sent this real photo postcard and an earlier one) to his sister, "Miss Eunice Mitchell," who was studying to be a teacher at the Mansfield State Normal School ("S.N.S.") in Mansfield, Pennsylvania.

Harry's message on this card identifies the two girls and woman standing in the foreground as "two of my scholars and the primary teacher" (mouse over the image above to see a close-up of the trio and the two small boys behind them). Some more children (along with a dog or two) are walking farther up the road near the bridge that's visible in the distance.

I'm not sure what Harry means by "Thomas, Lewis & Weed.," which he wrote in the top right-hand corner of the card.

For the earlier card that Harry sent to his sister, see The Weedville Knowledge Factory, Weedville, Pa., Sept. 29, 1906.
