The purpose of this paper is to make clear why and how John Dewey constructed his theory of "Education as a University Discipline," which needed "Laboratory School."In this research, I examined two sources from which Dewey was suggested to found "Laboratory School," practice in which the principles and theories of education were tested and demonstrated. One is Albion W. Small's ideas on Sociological research and its education, presented in <An Introduction to the study of Society>______________________________________-, (co-authored with George E. Vincent, 1894). The other is Jane Addam's' theory and practice of Social Settlement.Small publlished this book as a manual, which he called "a laboratory guide," for sociological research and its education done in "sociological laboratories,"that is fields of Chicago. In early years of the University of Chicago, the department of Sociology has directed this sociological research and its education by utilizing the social settlements (for example, Hull-House and the University of Chicago settlement) as the "social-observing stations."Dewey got the idea, "Labolatory School" by tronslating Small's sociological theory and practice into his theory of education.
