An East San Jose School classroom in 1898. The boys and girls have turned to face the camera, while sitting at their desks. The room is decorated with bunting at the teacher's desk, above the windows and the door. Streamers are seen; most likely, these are attached to a light fixture that cannot be seen in the picture. "Learning by Doing," is written on a blackboard at the front of the classroom. East San Jose School was located on Adams between Alum Rock Avenue and Jefferson.
