Figure 1.--This photograph at the small Roarig Brook School was taken in 1910. It is a bit difficult to tell, but the boys look to be wearing knickers rather than kneepants. The children look rather dressed up for their portrait. We suspect that some normally wore overalls. Click on te image to see another photograph taken sometime later.

We know very little about this school other than the name, the Roaring Brook School. It is apparently a small rural school, presumably a one-room schoo, in upsate New York. We believe that the school would have taken children from grade 1-8. That would have meant children from about age 6-13 or perhaps 14. After finishing here, if they continued their education they would have entered a city high school. The photograph here at the school was taken in 1910. It is a bit difficult to tell, but the boys look to be wearing knickers rather than kneepants. The children look rather dressed up for their portrait. We suspect that some normally wore overalls.
