1. Margaret Tischler, school teacher
   
   

Remarks: 'The early mission school at Yalata was conducted by Miss Margaret Tischler who lived in a caravan and followed the people as they moved camp. Classes were conducted out of the doors under the tarpaulin shelter with portable blackboard. Very hot days, and windy days made lessons difficult; soon after this photograph was taken a whirlwind passed over the class, taking tarpaulins, blackboard, books and papers skywards and scattering them far and wide.'
