Clothing Suggestions

Clothing in the early 1900's was very different from today. Most of the clothes were still handmade by the women in the family.

The day can be most worthwhile when the regular classroom teachers or the parents encourage their children to follow the suggestions below for clothing to wear to visit Cornell School.
