Students in military uniform are marching in a parade on Central Avenue in Faribault on Patriot's Day. The photo title reads: "This picture represents part of our children as they appeared in the Patriot's Day Parade in Faribault, April 19, 1917." The text printed on the back reads: "The parents are expected to provide uniforms for their sons. Do not provide them with new citizen suits. These uniforms will not be any more expensive for the year than citizen suits. Our pupils are appearing before the public more and more often. They have been greatly praised for their improved appearance in uniforms. We will ask your son not to wear his uniform during the summer. Fold them up and put them away till he comes back to school in the fall. They will thus last him for a part of the coming school year."
