ments and objects Of the institution
before the executive committee Of the
Association for Improved Public
Schools of the District. Since then
the school has been a leading topic
Of discussion in local educational cir
cles
The Park School opened in the fall
of 1912 in temporary quarters which
afforded opportunity for trying Its
methods. In 1917 the present build
ings were constructed and its period
of larger influence began.
There is no claim that the methods
used or the things being done are
unknown to other educators or other
schools. There is, however, an open
mindedness to the best that is being
done everywhere, and an attempt to
improve old ways and develop new
ideas leads to an unusually complete
demonstration of the best type of
modern education.
Its keynotes are the use of the
child's natural instincts and interests
as Il driving force in his work: the
consideration Of the school as a COM
munity Of which all are citizens,
with both privileges and duties, and
their needs and possibilities are dag
nosed accurately in order that each
one may be helped to develop to the
best Of which he is capable.
