Early automobiles were quite popular as settings for school portraits,
especially when the entire student body of a one-room school could fit in
and around one.  These are the Miller School students of the 1912 - 1913
school year.  Agnes Merchant is the teacher.  Note the chains on the back
tires, which were needed as much for negotiating in the muddy roads as
for traction in the snow.
