U.S. School Clothes: Blanton Town School (Florida)


Figure 1.--Here we see a rural school in Blanton Town, Florida. The school was white, I'm not sure why in America they always describe the little red schoolhouse. There were about 30 students, evenly divided among boys and girls. The one teacher we see was a man. The boys all wear shirts or blouses with knickers. Most are barefoot. Curiously, the boys and girls were photographed separately. Click on the image to see the girls.

Here we see a rural school in Blanton Town, Florida. The school was painted white. We are not sure why in America they always describe the little red schoolhouse. There were about 30 students, evenly divided among boys and girls. The one teacher we see was a man. The boys all wear shirts or blouses with knee pants or knickers. Most are barefoot. The one boy that is mot wears black long stockings with his knickers. The girls all wear dresses and are also barefoot. The photograph is not dated, but we have a fairly good idea when it was taken, we think anout 1915. This is suggested by the boys wearing knickers, but the fact that the younger boys are waring knee pants suggrsts it was not the late-1910s. Kinickers were standard for boys in 1915. Vut we still see younger boys wearung knee pants. We see that in a Sears 1915 younger boys suits . The boys here are in Florida in the pre air conditioning page so they are not wearing suits. An even better clue is the flag. Notice how the dark blue star field is lighter than the red stripes. That redlects the emulsions used in early 20th-century film. And we see 48 stars meaming that it has to be taken after Arizona jouned the Union (February 1912).
