American Sunday School Chonology: 20th Century--The 1910s

American sunday school
Figure 1.-- Here we see an unientified Sunday School with no accompanying information. The mount and clothing style date it to the 1910s, probably the early part of the decade. All the hair bows help confirm the 1910s date. It shows the children inside in a rather stark room given the age of the children.

Here we see an unientified Sunday School with no accompanying information. The mount and clothing style date it to the 1910s, probably the early part of the decade. All the hair bows help confirm the 1910s date. It shows the children inside in a rather stark room given the age of the children. Four adults are involved. We suspect this was a Sunday school while he adults attended the church service. The only decoration is a large portrit of turbaned figures. We arent sure just who is being depicted. A reader writs, "The portrait seems to be a scene from the New Testiment where a woman asks a blessing despite being a fallen woman." That seems a strange scene to present to Sunday School who of course would not understand what a fallen woman was. The children look dressed up for Sunday School, but less so than the 1900s. The girls wear dresses and the boys mostly white blouses. althugh we see some tunc suits which one boy wears with white long stockings. After World War I in the 1920s, dress styles continued becoming informal, alhthough his varies from church to church.
