Beautiful photograph, especially the way the light catches their faces.

San Augustine County, Texas is in a heavily (pine) forrested area of deep east Texas. No wonder they were so concerned about fire.

There's something so surreal about this picture, the war-bonds poster on the right and the children looking at the globe on the left. It's almost ominous.

Wonder if this is a one room school house. There seems to be a broad cross-section of ages of the children.

That War Bonds poster is strangely similar to a lot of Soviet propaganda in the Cold War era... hhmmmm.

"The christening was done by Mrs. Guy Emerson, who banged the snout of the submarine with a bottle of champagne and renamed it the "U-Buy-A-Bond." There were some who said the submarine backed up and said "I won't," but it didn't matter anyway, for three men had already dashed into the craft's interior and gained tho honor of being the first to subscribe in a former German ship."

The husband of Mrs. Emerson (likely the man behind her) was at that time vice president of the National Bank of Commerce and secretary of the Liberty Loan Committee, s. photo in the Evening star., October 19, 1917, Page 19 (he is the man standing on the right) chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1917-10-19/ed-... and the NYT, June 10, 1917 query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9401E1DE133BEE...
