A classroom at the Golden Industrial School, a reform school for boys, is the subject here, though the record's placement in Denver carries a question mark, so the exact location is unconfirmed. The picture dates to roughly 1910 to 1915, when Progressive-era reformers were pushing to replace punishment with schooling and job training for troubled young people. It comes from the collection of Mrs. Ben B. Lindsey, whose husband, Judge Ben B. Lindsey, led Denver's juvenile court and championed such reforms.
