Figure 1.-- Here we see the East Shannon School. The children are standing in front of their school, It looks to be a smll one or two room school. Many of these schools we have noted are painted white, yet Americans generally refer to the little red school house. The photograph is undated, but we would guess the late 1920s.

Many of these schools we have noted are painted white, yet Americans generally refer to the little red school house. The photograph is undated, but we would guess the late 1920s. Almost all of the boys wear overals. Overalls were not very common at schools in the 19th century. After the turn of the 20th cenbtury they become extremely common at rural schools. Oner boy has the striped railropad type. One boy wears knickers. Most of the children are barefoot.
