Figure 1.-- The dealer tells us that this was a photoograph of the school at Charles Mill, presumably it was called the Charles Mill School. It is in Richand Countu, Ohio. It is identified only as the 'Old Central Bldg.' on the back. It was a substantial brick building. The children look like 7th or 8th graders meaning 12-14 years old. Primary schools at the time were commonly schools with programs for 1st to 8th graders. At the time many children did not got on to high school. It is dated 1898. The boy in fromt of the door is Chas. B. Van Wye. The boys nostly wear suits, double breasted jackets with knee pants and black long stockings. Neckwear varied. The girls wear dresses or blouses and skirts. Notice the volunious sleeves. One girl wears a dark pinafore. We do not see any of the white pinafores that were common at some schools. The cgildren looked rather dresses up. Perhaps they did so for the photographer. .
