Figure 1.-- Here we have a wonderful image from Bartley, Nebrska. We think the school was probably known as the Bartley School, but we are not positive about this. We are a little unsure as to just what kind of schools this was. The older students are virtually all girls and seem to old for primary school. Older boys were often discouraged from attending school because they were needed on the farm. Put the cursor on the image for an enlarged detail.

Here we have a wonderful image from Bartley, Nebrska. We think the school was probably known as the Bartley School, but we are not positive about this. Schools at this early period were often known by the name of the scgool. We are a little unsure as to just what kind of schools this was. The older students are virtually all girls and seem to old for primary school. Older boys were often discouraged from attending school because they were needed on the farm. This portrait is especially interesting because some of the children are acting up. In so many portraits like this the children are much less animated. The photograph is not dated, but we would guess was taken about 1909-10. Note that a few boys wear overalls. This was not commion eaelier in the 1900s. Note all the different caps and haps. Often in these portraits the boys take off their headwear, but not in this instance. Several boys wear hunting-style caps. That is something you do not see in city schools and southern schools. Some of the younger girls wore pinafores. Note that quite a few boys wore long pants. This tended to be more common in rutal aras than in the cities.
