ABSTRACT

The number of children from Mrs. Caplow’s kindergarten class who remained in Attucks School and made satisfactory progress through the grades dwindled each year. Of the thirty children who were in kindergarten, and the eighteen in Mrs. Logan’s first grade class, only ten came to Mrs. Benson’s second grade class. Of the eight who did not come with their cohorts, three were held back in Mrs. Logan’s class to repeat the first grade and five moved from the school district. Both Laura and Lilly were in Mrs. Benson’s class. LeRoy was not.
