About the author

Eva Aldrich is known for The Blackboard Clock, a teaching manual first published in 1892. The book was written for primary teachers and focuses on helping first-year and kindergarten pupils learn to tell time, making it a specialized and very practical piece of classroom literature.

Modern catalog and archive records suggest that this is the main work currently associated with her. Because so little biographical information appears to survive in readily available public sources, Aldrich remains a somewhat obscure figure today, but her book still stands as a useful snapshot of early elementary teaching methods and priorities.
