1904réf. 154021904. Gayaza School classroom lantern slide 1904 documents girls receiving classroom instruction at the pioneering Church Missionary Society school established at Gayaza in Buganda present-day Uganda. Founded in 1904 as a school for girls Gayaza developed into what is now Gayaza High School identified by the school as Uganda's oldest all-girls boarding secondary school. The image dates from the institution's founding period and records African girls engaged in reading under two female teachers providing unusually detailed visual evidence of girls' education within an early twentieth-century missionary school in Uganda. Original glass lantern slide 3¼ x 4 inches published by the Young People's Missionary Movement of the United States and Canada. Scratched into the negative beneath the image is the identification: "Gayaza A Class in School." Girls of varying school ages occupy the classroom; approximately half sit on the floor holding open books while others sit on a bench at a table with books before them. Two female teachers stand among the pupils. Classroom equipment includes a blackboard on an easel two wall maps a clock and a globe resting on a cabinet. The girls wear garments wrapped or draped around the lower body. These details record both instructional practice and the material furnishings available in the school's early classroom. The slide also documents how images of African mission schools circulated beyond Uganda. The Young People's Missionary Movement described lantern slides as its most extensively used form of pictorial material and supplied such images to mission boards for missionary education. This example therefore preserves two related historical records: the classroom at Gayaza and the presentation of girls' education in Uganda to North American Christian audiences. Gayaza subsequently developed into a secondary boarding school for girls retaining its Church foundation. unknown books

In 1935 Dorothy McLane the school's headmistress moved the school north into the White Mountains region to the estate of Ernest Poole in Sugar Hill New Hampshire; the school was then renamed St. Mary's-in-the-Mountains. One year later in 1936 the school bought the Seven Springs Estate in Bethlehem New Hampshire from Eman and Mary Payne Beck and relocated there for the last time. Over the next 25 years the Bethlehem campus expanded with the purchase of new dormitories and the construction of new classroom wings. On January 3 1964 the school's Main Building burned down. The following year a new Main Building was constructed in its place. Six years later in 1970 the school began accepting a small number of male day students and in 1972 the school became co-educational and changed its name to the White Mountain School.The school ceased operations after the conclusion of the 2023-24 academic year citing financial difficulties relating to declining enrollment. Niles was founder of the school and Bishop of New Hampshire from 1870-1914. unknown books
