Object Details

Although Pages began serving Congress in the 1840s, a school for these young workers was not established until 1931. The organization of the school formalized and modernized the tradition and allowed students from around the country to participate without interrupting their education. This grade book documents the progress of the students in the 1948–1950 school years.
