U.S. School Clothes: Grindstone School (Kentucky, about 1920)


Figure 1.--Here we have a photograph of the Grindstone School in Calloway County Kentucky. The photograph was undated, but looks like the early 1920s. The boys almost all wear overalls, except one boy wearing kneepants with suspenders.

Here we have a photograph of the Grindstone School in Calloway County Kentucky. The photograph was undated, but looks like the early 1920s. The boys almost all wear overalls, except one boy wearing kneepants with suspenders. Overalls in the 1920s were almosdt universal in these rural primary schools. School wear was quite destibctive in rural and urban schools at the time. After World war II these differences disappeared. The photograph is a little unusual as the school has a large front porch looking more like a house than a school.
