Excerpt from The Francis W. Parker School Year Book, Vol. 1: June, 1912 The origins of the educational trend of which the Francis W. Parker School is a part are so various that one cannot appropriate from among them those that belong to this School. The quality that, perhaps more than any other, determines the kinship of the Parker School is its holding its educational principles as the basis of its existence. That quality is a privilege of educational in heritance. Every one who has ever brought forth a thought how to better the education of the race is really one of our forbears, for that thought is our life blood.
