Figure 1.-- Here we see what looks like a military school, by this we mean a school for military dependents on a Japanese military base or perhaps an reaa under military jurisdiction. It was not school run like a military academy as the term is used in America. Unfortuntely there is absolutely no information associted with the photograph. All we have to go on is the image itself. It was a coed school. And the children do not wear uniforms. We think it is a school on a military base because the teachers seem to be mostly military officers. And the white uniforms suggest that thy are mostly naval officers.

And the white uniforms suggest that thy are mostly naval officers. We are guessing it was taken in the 1930s, probanly the early-30s because only one boy wears traditional rather than Western clothing. We are not sure just where ths school was located, but the white uniforms and light clothing of th children suggest warm weather. This leads us to beieve it was somewhere on the southern Home Islands or possibly the Marianas, perhaps Saipan or Tinian where there were Japanese colonists. Here we invite comment by readers. It looks to us like the individuals in the white uniforms are defiitely naval officers. The two men in khki uniforms may be civilin teachers who are just wearing uniform-like clothing rather than soldiers.
