She comments on subjects taught, school lunches, recess recreation activities, and the physical plan and furnishing of the school building. The scrapbook contains health-related newspaper clippings consisting of advertisements for new health cures and medicines to fight such diseases as cholera, dysentery, diarrhea, jaundice, apoplexy, and kidney disease.
