bravery After the war he resumed
teaching. He was the introducer of the
system of divorcing pupils from their
text books and the alphabet, spelling
book, primer and reader were taken out
of the elementary grades in the schools
which Col. Parker directed. He believed
in teaching the children by letting them
see things and enact ideas. 1t was while
experimenting the schools at Quincy,
Mass, that he put these ideas into effect
and their uniqueness caused both them
and him to become widely known. From
Quincy he went to Boston as one Of the
supervisors in the school system, but
found no opening FOR his own plan Of
teaching in that old city. In the early
SOS he accepted the principalship of the
Cook County Normal School, and went
to Chicago believing that his new ideas
would take root in the West. lie set
out to make the normal school the lesd-
