Scope and content
Manitou School group. A group portrait of one of the school classes at Manitou School. There are thirteen girls and sixteen boys. In 1912, land was purchased in the Manitou Grove Addition as a new site for the school. But, when parents asked that portables be added on the park site, they were told students could attend Edison or Oakland schools. Transportation was furnished for fourth and fifth grade students to the schools. More portables were added in 1913. (For the Record, a History of Tacoma Public Schools, 1869-1984, by Winnifred L. Olsen) Format 5" x 8"
