Students working in the blacksmith shop. 

The Cumberland County Historical Society has two copies of this image; a print (14B-11-01) and one a glass plate negative (00314A#79). It was previously attributed to the photographer A. A. Line, but because the print (and others in this series)  are in collections associated with the school's photographer Everett Strong, we believe it was taken by Strong. Everett Strong was a photographer employed by the school starting in May 1908; he had left before December 1909.
