Title:

A group of eager students gather around their instructor, Tetsu Sugi, in a children's sewing class at Christopher House in Chicago, Illinois. The instructress, Miss Sugi, voluntarily left her position as a substitute teacher in the Los Angeles junior junior and high schools, prior to the mass evacuation of persons of Japanese ancestry from the west coast. After visiting friends in Little Rock Arkansas, she went to Chicago, and immediately found permanent employment at Christopher House. She has a full schedule of teaching gym, sewing, folk dancing and Americanism to children of grade school age, young people and adults, in day and evening classes. -- Photographer: Parker, Tom -- Chicago, Illinois. 5/18/43
