PHELPS AND HIS TEACHERS
Phelps in the First Grade
Long before Phelps started to
school-and he didn't start until he
was years old-his mama told him
about his prospective teacher. Phelps
was curious about her. Would she
be like his mama or Jimmie's mama
who lived across the street? His
mother assured him his teacher would
be kind, sweet woman who would
love him. And Phelps believed it.
Even Phelps mama believed it, for
how could anyone fail to love her
boy.
In time Phelps was seven year old
and was duly kissed and sent to
school. 1t was a red-letter day at
his home. All day his mama waited
and thought about her boy at school
and wondered how he was getting
along. He was the center of the
classes as he appeared in her minds

school. She could not foresee that
there might be other boys and girls
