May Day

Black and white photographic postcard depicting children outside under a tree dressed for May Day festivities. Printed on verso :"Shippensburg State Normal School To the young men and women of Pennsylvania Dear Friends: Have you considered the advantages of a liberal education? Education fits you for better work all your life. It increases your power and influence in the world. It makes your life broader and richer. It enables you to earn a better salary. Our good state offers you a liberal education of four years absolutely free. If you cannot come daily from your home you can live here for less than 60 cents a day and do it well. Really no young man or woman can afford to miss this opportunity. Send for catalogue to State Normal School Shippensburg, PA." In pencil appears to be handwriting attempting to mimic the words 'Really' and "State Normal School" and another non-legible word. Likely pencil writing of a child.
