TitleAlbanian girls in Turkish costumes. These young Albanian girls are dressed in the customary costume for women in their country. Baggy trousers and wooden sandals are relics of Moslem rule in Albania during the last 500 years, but fashions of dress for Albania women will undoubtedly change from now on. Turkish dominion and influence ended with the war and the enormous influx of western style clothing distributed by the American Red Cross to the war worn people who were in rags has had a tremendous effect upon them. Education is the next thing to be undertaken there and the Junior Red Cross of America plans to give its encouragement and backing to all attempts on the part of the new government to promote national institutions of learning. Most of the children of this Balkan state have never attended any school. Very few of them can read or write their native language, due to centuries of educational suppression, not to natural illiteracyNotePhysical details: glass Applies To: Applies To: all Title, date and notes from Red Cross caption card.Photographer name or source of original from caption card or negative sleeve: Paris Office.Data: Jr. Red Cross.
