Primary School 36: 1896

Continuing with the topic of prejudiced attitudes towards immigrant children
in the late 19th and early twentieth century nyc public schools
The school on the left is not Primary School 36, but PS 35. The buildings looked very similar. Primary School 35 was on Monroe Street, between Market and Pike. The Primary category was for lower elementary age kids. Grammar Schools were for older kids. I'm not sure where the break occurred.
This comes from a 1896 special school edition of the Tribune Newspaper. Note the references to "they didn't know about sanitary conditions....they were too ignorant..."
