Figure 1.--This is the North School in Seattle. The photograph was taken in 1879. Notice the rounded crown hats and lumberjack caps. We do not see any of the more modern styles like peaked and flat caps. And note the long pants most of the boys wear. Many of the girls wear pinafores. This a little unusual. Normally the childten are lined up neatly in front of the school. The school marm looks to be standing to the right of the door. There is a lot of children for one teacher, but we don't see any other.

This is the Northb Schoolm in Seattle. It was the growugb city's second school. The first school was Central School. The photograph was taken in 1879. It looks like the photograph was taken the ciuntryside, but the population was onlt 1,100 people at the time. Outdoor school photographs at the time were not common so we are not sure about the date. The clothes look like the early-80s to us, but we welcome reader assessments. Notice the rounded crown hats and lumberjack caps. We do not see any of the pore modern styles like peaked and flat caps. And note the long pants most of the boys wear. Many of the girls wear pinafores. This a little unusual. Normally the childten are lined up neatly in front of the school. The school marm looks to be standing to the right of the door. There is a lot of children for one teacher, but we don't see any other.
