Unidentified Wisconsin Elementary School: 3rd Grade Class (1925-26)
Figure 1.-- This is a photograph of a 3rd grade elementary (primary) class in Wisconsin. We don't know the name of the school, but we do know the date (1925-26). All of the children, both boys and girls, seem to be wearing long black stockings. The boys wear short trousers, and most of them have white shirts with neckties. I would think this is a rather middle-class city school. The long stockings may be because Wisconsin is a chilly state in the winter, but the boys don't wear sweaters or jackets, so maybe the Germanic influence obtains here--the idea of long stockings as part of propriety and formality for well-dressed children.
