Unidentified Catholic Primary School (1924)


Figure 1.-- We know very little about this school except that it was Catholic. We do noot know where the school was located. The fact that it was a Catholic school suggests it may have been in southern Germany. We see both a priest and a nun. The children all look like younger boys and girls which would mean that this was a primary school. The children look to all be barefoot. This might be considered a poverty indcator. The children, however, all look very well dressed.

The Currency was not stabilized until Novemver 1923. The economy finally began to improve in 1924, but by this time the German middle-class was devestated. Afew of the boys wear sailor suits. We also see Schiller collars. There is a mix of lapel jackets and collar buttoning jackets. Its more difficult to see what the girls are wearing, but several wear dark-colored pinafores with patterns.
