Photos of American Schools in the Early 20th Century

A few years ago I accidentally came across a famous American photo archive on the Net. I was not looking for something precise — my themes were Christmas trees and kitchen designs, girls examining shop windows or wearing retro swimsuits. Unfortunately, the website is no longer working, but I've saved some pictures. Now I bring to your attention a small selection of school photos from the early 20th century. If you like the first ones, the rest of the photo would be even more magical :)
