First Day School

“The first day of school will be the first day school, you can expect hiccups, you can expect challenges,” Woods said.

That was the way he did the very first day school was opened, for Johnny was frightened at first, and a mind to cry—he'd never had anybody to take much care of him.

But that "first day school was opened!"

The first day school among the Freedmen was established at Fortress Monroe, Virginia, by the American Missionary Association on September 17, 1861.

The first day school in the state was a private one at Milwaukee, founded in 1878 and lasting till 1885, when the law was enacted.
