<ul><li><b>Scope and content:</b>  Full caption reads as follows: El Cerrito, San Miguel County, New Mexico. The school at El Cerrito is poorly designed and not well equipped. Here from twenty to fifty pupils are instructed by two teachers who drive the 28 miles from Las Vegas each day. Parents take no initiative so far as the school is concerned, but nevertheless regard it as an extremely important institution. They feel that every child should have a good command of English, and only the school can give it to them. Actually, classes are often taught in Spanish and many pupils barely understand English. These pictures were taken shortly after the last examination had been given. Since the students do not have to attend classes during the last few days, very few of them come to school.</li></ul></div>
