An elderly woman sits in a chair on a platform, instructing her students in lessons that have probably been taken from the “Republican Campaign Text Book” sitting on a table on the right, or from the “Republican Press” at her feet. Reciting their lessons are pupils identified as “Boutelle, Reid, Reed, Foraker, Harrison, Hoar, Allison, Lodge, McKinley, Sherman,” and “Stewart,” who is standing on a stool and wearing a dunce cap labeled “Silver Dunce.” Caption: The Schoolma’am–Who were responsible for all the cyclones, dry spells, frosts, floods, landslides, chills-and-fever, mosquitos and everything else that plagued the country? / Chorus of Scholars–The Democrats! / The Schoolma’am–To whom does the country owe its present good crops, fine weather, health, wealth and general prosperity? / Chorus of Scholars–The Republicans!! / The Schoolma’am–Correct! – all go to the head!
