| Although America was in turmoil school was still open. Children studied reading, writing, and arithmetic Most boys and girls began school at the age of five. They studied until they finished at least the eighth grade, when they were twelve or thirteen. During the depression, boys often dropped out of school to look for jobs or to beg for food and money. As time went on fewer and fewer children attended school. |
