Mrs. Jones is Margie’s mother. She expects Margie to succeed in her education and is disappointed when Margie has difficulties with her geography lessons. From the “sorrowful” look on her face, it seems that Mrs. Jones sees calling the County Inspector to reprogram the mechanical teacher as a mark of Margie’s failure as a student.
