The School Teacher and the Waif
The School Teacher and the Waif is a 1912 American silent Drama film directed by D. W. Griffith. The film was produced by the Biograph Company and distributed by the General Film Company. Starring Mary Pickford as the waif and Edwin August as the schoolteacher, the film was released by Biograph on June 27, 1912.

The story centers on Nora's struggles with loneliness, the hardships she faces at home, and the challenges she encounters at school, including bullying and feelings of humiliation. When a street vendor attempts to take advantage of her vulnerable situation, her teacher intervenes to help.

This film marked the second appearance of a 15-year-old stage actress named Ella Hall in a Biograph film. She played one of the young schoolgirls.  Her part was uncredited.

Waif
A waif (from the Old French guaif, 'stray beast') is a person removed, by hardship, loss or other helpless circumstance, from their original surroundings.  The most common usage of the word is to designate a homeless, forsaken or orphaned child, or someone whose appearance is evocative of the same.

As such, the term is similar to a ragamuffin or street urchin, although the main distinction is volitional: a runaway youth might live on the streets, but would not properly be called a waif as the departure from one's home was an exercise of free will. Likewise, a person fleeing their home for purposes of safety (as in response to political oppression or natural disaster), is typically considered not a waif but a refugee.
