Figure 1.--We see the children at the St. Nicholas Greek School wearing matching white sailor syuits in 1906. We are not sure if it was a uniform or an outfit for special events.

School uniforms were not very common in America ad as far as we can tell sailor suits were rarely used as a school uniform. We might have saidcthat sailor schools were never used as a school uniform in America, but we have found one prochial scoool where they may have been worn in the early 1900s. We see both boys and girls wearing mtching sailor suits. We are not sure, however, if this was a uniform or a special costume for specisal events. The school was the St. Nicholas Greek School in Newark, New Jersey.
