About this episode
A teacher in a city school circa 1916 (we assume New York) works with a 12 year old immigrant boy whose family had recently arrived from Russia as he becomes assimilated to our culture. In part one the boy, after she asks him to try on a George Washington costume for an upcoming school play, becomes very upset- but won't give up what is hurting him.
