I have to admit my own daughter attended a boarding school for women, and she loved it. It was her choice, much to our surprise, but it was the right decision.

That’s why it was fun to come across a 1909 magazine with lots of advertising for boarding schools. I should note the school my daughter graduated from was established as a school for young women to get the same opportunities as young men. Many of the women’s schools in 1909 were more about etiquette than math and science

.

It is interesting to note many of these schools advertised are still teaching students.

There are also ads for products we still use today! We’ll always have Coca Cola and children’s cereal!
