U.S. School Clothes: Tully School (1920)


Figure 1.--The Tully School children here are posed in front of the school which is very substantial brick building. We think it may be an elementary (primary) school (6th grade), but the class could be the first year of a junior high school (7th grade). This photograph was taken May 7, 1920. The boys we can see are wearing a range of suits, sweaters, and shirts and ties. This was a major shift from the pre-World War I period, when boys attending city schools generally wore suits. The girls all wear dresses or blouses and skirts, including middy blouses. Long stockings were virtually universal in city schools in the 1910s, but here we see some children beginning to wear knee socks, a major change in hosiery trends.

This class is identified as from the Tully School (figure 1). America is, however, a big country. And thus the names of schools are often used in muiltiple locations. Thus unless we have the location, we can not be sure just which school it was. We think this is a school in Tully, New York--located near the states center west of Albany. It was an area developed by land grants to men who served in the Revolutionary War. The children are posed in front of the school which is very substantial brick building.

A factor here is that the dortrait was gajen during May when the weather had begum to warm up.
