Ia HgAGO, March 2.-In its paren-
Nfal school the Chicago board of
i - education, has an unusual edu-
Eeational feature but one that is. being
Hound a necessity in, all the larger
scities. This school, organized January,
1902, is presided over by I. H. Mae
EQueary, by whom the plans for its es-
were chiefly formulated
lana whose educational ideas it en-
bodies. Mr.. MacQueary was, for sew
aera years pastor ofSAll Souls 's church rel
i'm Minneapolis, and was the first resi-
kdent at Unity House. He came to Chi
scago as head of the military school for
hboys at Highland Park. His socio-
illogical experience at Unity House
caused him to be greatly interested in
the plan then under consideration For
the establishment, of parental school
for the purpose of, making effective
the compulsory education law. His
Interest soon led to his official identi-
Nfcation with the work when steps were
taken to put the plan into operation.
The law providing for parental
schools in cities Of over 100000 inhab-
ssitants was passed In 1899, largely thru
sthe activity of the women IS clubs of
the city and state Before launching
into this : difficult undertaking, the
board of education conducted an ex-
lhaustive examination of the organiza'
Zion and management Of parental and
reform schools in other states, these
investig being made by Mr.. Mac
fQneary, Superintendent W. L. Bodine
ief. the department of compulsory edu-
sIHation, and others. The plans as for
hnulated still remain in force with com
paratively minor changes.
The school is situated, on the extreme
NORTHWESTERN edge Of the city, on "a
farm Of fifty acres, and is as much iso
Hated as if in rural community. II
