Comment

Work and culture in the very first expression that opens man to the practice of reading and writing and, by rescuing him from ignorance, elevates the subject to citizen and confers dignity and rights on him. Here the teacher holds the boy's hand and helps him to trace the first signs of the alphabet on the sheet.
