You can still run barefoot however or whenever you wish... It doesn't mean they were brilliant back then, probably were dumber than current gamer children. [/quote] They were happier! They were children! And they actually got to be children, not like today, where they only have to be mindless, sitting in front of a computer or tv and letting the tv do the thinking for them. Unless you were there, you just don't know. [/quote]
Original Message
These fascinating pictures of American and Canadian youngsters in the first half of the 20th century capture an almost forgotten age of innocence and the simplest of pleasures.
The photographs, from the archives of the National Geographic magazine, show children from around two or three up until their early teens and give a fascinating glimpse into what life was like for youngsters without the all trappings of the modern world which we now take so much for granted.

These are clearly poor kids, but see how healthy they look! Such is progress.
