Minnesota's Greatest Generation

Children in a classroom in Jackson

Supporters of child labor reform in the 1920s placed a high priority on children getting a good education. State laws mandated that all children aged 7 to 16 (except those that had completed the eigth grade)were required to attend school for the entire session. These elementary school children attended the Jackson School in Minneapolis in the 1920s.
