Figure 1.--This cabinet card portrait shows younger children at the Temple Street School. Unfortunately we do not know where the School was located, no photographer or location is shown. It is clearly a northern school. The brick building shows a substantial, probably big-city school. And are these are all younger children, we know that there are several classes at the school. There are three black girls in the portrait. We do know the name of the teacher -- Ella Robinson. There is also no date, but the clothes and mount style suggests he 1900s. The early-10s is possible, but the 00s seems the most likely. It is diificult to tell, but the children look to be about 5-6 years olds, except for a few slightly older children at the back. A few children at the right are cut off, click here to see that lot with one boy wearing a tunic suit.

This cabinet card portrait shows younger children at the Temple Street School. Unfortunately we do not know where the School was located, no photographer or location is shown. Nor or we sure about the name. We suspect it refers to the famous Temple Church in London--once the Templer church nd then center of British justice. Just why a street in America was named for it we are not sure. It is clearly a northern school. The brick building shows a substantial, probably big-city school. And are these are all younger children, we know that there are several classes at the school. There are three black girls in the pportrait. We do know the name of the teacher -- Ella Robinson. There is also no date, but the clothes and mount style suggests he 1900s. The early-10s is possible, but the 00s seems the most likely. It is diificult to tell, but the children look to be about 5-6 years olds, except for a few slightly older children at the back. We are not sure why they are here, perhps they did not pass the 1st grade. Our best guess s tht this is a mix of Kindergarners and 1st graders. There are some 40 children, rather large for a single class, but we see only one teacher. We are guessing tht she had her hands full. The girls wear dresses, some with white pinafores. The boys wear mostly blouses, quite a number with floppy bows. We also see some lae and ruffled collars. We see quit afew dailor bloyes abd a few of the youngest bows wear tunic suits. Most of the boys wear knee pants and as far as we can tell, everyone is earing black long stockings.
