A room with no benches and desks,
With no chalk and note books,
No baggage the children carried,
Except a dark, white patched slate.

No partition is among the class,
Low and high standard were taught together, 
Merely thirty students up to fifth 
studied,
A single teacher to all classes and 
subjects is appointed.

The room is dusk with scratched walls,
Generous roof allowed sun and rain to get educated, 
Scribblings of little buds decorated the interior, 
Naturalism is taught through three 
footed wall.

Head aching littles to mother are sent at bitty age, 
Dusty children looked out crying and
searching their mom,
Food was provided at school,
Most were sent to gain nutrition, at 
least once.

Clumsy unrhythmic rhymes were sung,
Arithmetic and language were taught,
Cleanliness is taught by practical 
cleaning of school,
Lack in everything yet they didn't lack joy.
