Figure 1.--We note an unidentified boys' school in Collegeville, Pennsylvania. We are not sure just what the name of the school was. It looks to be an elementary school. The class wa all boys which may mean that it was a private school. The boys look to be about 10-years of age which means that they were probably a 5th grade class. Presumably the building in the background is their school. The portrait is undated, but we would guess was taken about 1895-1905. The boys all wear suits, almost entirely knee pnts suits. As was standard at the time, the boys wore long stockings with knee pants. Most have caps which are quite varied.

Presumably the building in the background is their school. It was a substanyial brick building. We count about 25 boys which was a little small for a state school.
