Summary "Little Citizens: The Humours of School Life" by Myra Kelly is a collection of character-driven vignettes centered around the lives of young students in a lower East Side school, likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative brings to life the comedic and poignant experiences of children and their interactions with their teacher, Constance Bailey, as she strives to instill values and order amid the everyday chaos of school life. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Constance Bailey, a novice teacher grappling with the challenges of managing her diverse and lively class. In her earnest attempt to mediate a disagreement between two feuding cousins, Eva and Sadie Gonorowsky, Miss Bailey navigates through various humorous exchanges and misunderstandings among her students. The opening portion highlights the complexities of childhood friendships and rivalries, showcasing the rich tapestry of personalities that fill the classroom and the teacher's unwavering dedication to her role, despite the tumultuous environment. This narrative sets the stage for a lively depiction of school life seen through the eyes of both children and their teacher. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
