Depiction of teaching in an infant class, appeared in "A System for the Education of the Young, Applied to all Faculties" by Samuel Wilderspin (1840)
... that in the 1840s infant schools, nine-year-old children were sometimes employed to help teach younger children?

Overall: Article is new enough (albeit almost stretching it), well sourced, hook is interesting, image lacks any copyright issues and QPQ is completed. I don't see anything that would hold this back from DYK, so I approve. I made a slight modification to the hook to fix a grammatical error - 'the 1840s'.

Just noting that this is eligible as a new GA rather than a new article. Your review should have mentioned this @TheBritinator:.--Launchballer 17:00, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
