U.S. School Clothes: Hueytown School, 1912


Figure 1.--We have an image of the Hueytown School in 1912. Hueytown was a small town in Alabama. The image shows how common it was for children to attend school barefoot, especially in the South and rural areas. The children with jacket are barefoot too.

We have an image of the Hueytown School in 1912. Hueytown was a small town in Alabama. The school is small, but looks like it might have two class rooms. The children wear a range of clothing. We do not note overalls. Several of the children wear suits. We note both kneepants and knickers. About half of the children wear long black stockings and half of barefoot. This may be a little misleading because more of the younger children in front may be barefoot than the older children in the rear. The image shows how common it was for children to attend school barefoot, especially in the South and rural areas. There are both boys and girls that have come to school barefoot. Some of the children with suit jacket are barefoot too.
