![School Begins. Print shows Uncle Sam as a teacher, standing behind a desk in front of his new students who are labeled "Cuba, Porto [i.e. Puerto] Rico, Hawaii, [and] Philippines"; they do not look happy to be there. At the rear of the classroom are students holding books labeled "California, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, [and] Alaska". At the far left, an African American boy cleans the windows, and in the background, a Native boy sits by himself, reading an upside-down book labeled "ABC", and a Chinese boy stands just outside the door. A book on Uncle Sam's desk is titled "U.S. First Lessons in Self-Government". https://www.loc.gov/item/2012647459/](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5vngz3t4wq53jpwlarjgqwvn/bafkreicgpud3fgzvxs5lubbaowadbukya3kmmzjbqhiysjeiq7m3ijgala)
