Description: A large assembly of men in a room with a half circle of desks facing a raised platform with men at desks. The men all have papers on the desks in front of them. They wear queues, which suggests this took place during the Qing Dynasty when queues were mandatory, before the 1911 Revolution.
Commentary: This might be a photographic postcard. During the 1911-1912 evacuation, Alice Estabrook took classes for a year or so at a mission school for training teachers in Fuzhou, Fujian.
