This book is one of a series of hundreds dating form the early twentieth century, listing the students in local grade schools, their ages or levels. Information is sparse about the early twentieth century residents of Lake Forest--estate people who rented gut did not own homes and also support staff who may have come and gone between censuses or who lived in homes owned by their estate employers. These school rosters help establish early residents and their approximate living locations.

This particular book is for the Gorton School and the teacher's name might be Miss Flint ; the ages are from nine to fourteen. There are eighteen boys and twenty girls.Most of them are from Deerpath Ave, Washington Ave, Westminster Ave, Western Ave, Laurel Ave, Sheridan Ave, etc
