Graded games and rhythmic exercises for primary schools : (for the school room and playground)
A 1907 New York manual of graded games and rhythmic exercises for primary school classrooms and playgrounds, written by Marion Bromley Newton and Ada Van Stone Harris and published by A.S. Barnes. The photographs, printed sideways in this scan, show rows of schoolgirls in pale pinafored dresses and dark stockings performing group movement exercises on a grassy playground. They suggest period school-uniform fashion and the orderly, geometric arrangement of children in lines and circles that a designer could reference for vintage educational layouts.
