Figure 1.-- Here we see the children at the same school in 1917. The teacher is not included in this portrait. Again we see mostly younger children. We do not know if there was a class of older children. Again the Vingelz photographs show all kinds of interesting activities and items at the school. |
Here we see the children at the same school in 1917. The teacher is not included in this portrait. Again we see mostly younger children. We do not know if there was a class of older children. Again the Vingelz photographs show all kinds of interesting activities and items at the school. There is quite a bit going on here. The children seem to have brought out potted pants to include in the photograoh. Many girls hold either flowers or baskets. I'm not sure what the baskets are for. Two girls show off their slate and book. Two children hold what looks to be their pencil boxes. One boy has his book satchel. One of the boys in front has something on his shoulder, but we can't make it out. Several of the children wear smocks or smock pinafores, including the boys. This was more common than we see in the 1908 Photograph. I'm not sure just when this became mandatory. One noticeable observation is that the children do not seen nearly as well dressed as in the 1908 photograph, We are guessing that World War I was a factor. Switzerland was neutral, but all the surrounding countries were involved.
