Description
"Wie Jung-Afrika seine Schulexempel ausrechnet!" ("How 'Young Africa' does its sums."). Two African boys are crouching and facing each other. Between them: four rows of small holes dug in the ground, similar to the game known as "bao" in East Africa. The boys are putting small stones into the holes.
