We still see city boys dressing up in suits for school, but somewhat less commonly than in the 1900s. This varied from chool to school. We mostly see suits with lapel jackets, both single and dounle-breasted jckets. Norfolk suits were popular, often collar-buttoning tyles. We still see a few collar buttoning jackets. Ties were still quite connon. Not all boys wore suits to schgool. Boys also came to scgool in blouses/shirts, often with ties. Sweaters appear for he first time in substantial numbers. We see different styles. They were common at some schools, sonething that was not very common in the 1900s and earlier decades. . Knee pants went out of style in the late-1900s decade. We stiil see some of younger boys wearing knee pants, but mostly we see boys weaing knickers. Like with knee pants, knickers were worn with long stockings, motly black long stockings. We do not see short pants yet. This varied a little. Overalls suddenly became very common in rural schools, for boys, although older boys commonly wore long pants. There were still many small rural schools. They were generally schools with 8-year programs. Many city elementary (primary) schools were 6-year schools, although this varied somewhat by state. We mostly see boys wearing knickers in primary schools. Girls wore dresses. Blouses and shirts were not common. Hair bows were very popular, Notice the the huge bows the girs here aee wearing,
