Modern teachers are always thinking about how to enliven their classrooms. Early teachers did not have the ability to do much in nricjing the classeoom. Low cost images and posters did not become available until after the turn pf the 20th century. This all began to change in the 20th century as educators began to rethinl the classroom. Many primary school teachers liked to keep animals of various desctiption in their classrooms. This became increasingly popular after World War II as classrooms were redesigned, offering more space for such activities. The children loved it and there were lessons to be learned about biology. We see both aquaria and cages for small animals like guinnea pigs and rabbits. Theawuaria were nmostly for deptiles and amphibians until afrer World War II when air pumbps became avaualble at reasonable prives making it more possibkr to have fish.
