Title: Anarchist Schools in Chicago Author: Freedom Press Language: en Topics: Freedom Press, Chicago, Freedom: A Journal of Anarchist Socialism Source: Freedom: A Journal of Anarchist Socialism, Vol. 3 -- No. 27, retrieved on August 27, 2019, from http://www.revoltlib.com/?id=2959.

A special dispatch from Chicago, Ill., says: The Anarchists in Chicago
are becoming more bold, and scarcely a day passes now but that some
meeting of theirs or some secret work is exposed....The fact has also
been brought out that the Anarchists have established a number of
schools here, and are endeavoring to establish more, at which the
teachings of Johann Most are to be the text books. In the rear of a
liquor store at Lincoln Avenue and Halsted Street, a reporter found
seated around the low, dingy room about 120 children, from five to
fourteen years of age, listening intently to what their teacher was
explaining of the teachings of Most. He told the little ones that Spies
and Parsons had been murdered by the capitalists, and in eloquent terms
pictured them as martyrs. At No. 58 Clyburn Avenue, about 170 children
were found. Here the instructor, Eugene Leidner, formerly a teacher in
Berlin University, was delivering an address from a Socialistic point of
View. Another school at 636 Milwaukee Avenue had 120 children; at a
fourth school at the rear of a saloon in the same Avenue about 150 were
present; and at a fifth school, in the Arbeiter Hall, West Twelfth
Street, about 160 children listened to a Socialistic address, after
which the teacher described the scene at Waldheim Cemetery on Nov.11.--
