Note the over-aged children in this first grade.
I was teaching fifth grade at this school, also in 1923. There was no such thing as
"social promotions" during this era, and some students were kept in primary
grades until they were 16 or 17 years old. Of course, many dropped out of school and went
to work. [Lucy S. Herring]
