		Though linked most notably with the reputation of John Dewey, the Laboratory Schools were in fact the union of several elementary and secondary educational institutions incorporated within the University at the turn of the century.
		In 1896, a University Elementary School was established by Dewey to serve as a workshop for classroom observation and the testing of educational method; known as the Dewey School or the Laboratory School, it soon attracted national attention and supported Dewey's growing reputation among progressive educators.
		The institute's elementary school was amalgamated with the University Elementary School and the University Kindergarten.

	CATALYST, April 2003: Demand, but no money, for universal preschool
		Not since the Chicago School Reform Act was passed in 1988 have so many diverse groups rallied around a single issue in Springfield.
		Estimates of the cost of fully implementing a universal preschool program in Illinois range upwards of $441 million per year, a fraction of the $2.3 billion that a 1 percent hike in state income taxes would raise.
		Another compelling reason for universal preschool is narrowing the knowledge and skills gap between children from low-income families and their middle- and upper-income counterparts.
