Chin straps seem to be the most common with younger nursery or kindergarden children, but we note them in priamary school as well. Here the children were almost always required to wear caps or hats and many came with chin straps. They were also quite common for primary schools, althogh there were great vaiation from school to school. Some schools had no rules. Some schools insisted the younger children wear their caps with the chin straps, but were more flexible with the older children. Apparently some of the older children did not like the primary school cap styles, such as yellow caps to assist motirist spot children walking along the road. And wearing the chin straps was also some thing some older children did not like. Chins straps were not worn secondary schools, at least since World war II. I'm not sure about before the War.
