Figure 1.--We notice a rural primary school at Lower Yarraman in 1908. The town is located in Queensland, inland from Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. This is a portrait of the children at the school in 1908. The eight children covr the full range of primary education from about 6-13 years of age. The young lady teachers stands at the rear with the older girls. They are posed on a school bench in front of their school which looks rather like a rural house. Notice the the coats and bags hang on hook on the porch, the only suggestion that the building is a school and nit a house.

We notice a rural primary school at Lower Yarraman in 1908. The town is located in Queensland, inland from Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. This is a portrait of the children at the school in 1908. The eight children covr the full range of primary education from about 6-13 years of age. The young lady teachers stands at the rear with the older girls. The girls all wear long dresses, and the teacher an even longer dress. Some of the dresses are similar, suggesting sisters. We notice both colored and white dresses worn with black long stockings. The outnumbered boys wear knee pants suits. The suits are intresting given the warm Queensland climate. We see a Fauntleroy lace collar, a small Eton collar, and a sailor outfit. Two of the boys are barefoot. The youngr boy wears black long stockings like his sister. The footwear is varies. We see low-cut and hifg-cut lace ups and strap shoes. A similar American photograph would hve shown mostly high-tops for both boys and girls. They are posed on a school bench in front of their school which looks rather like a rural house. Notice the the coats and bags hang on hook on the porch, the only suggestion that the building is a school and nit a house.
