The elderly woman was arrested by Lake county authorities for operating the school under filthy conditions and without providing adequate food for the fifteen "pupils." The school was known as the Kendall Hall School for Boys, a fourteen-room two story frame residence, where four boys and eleven girls ranging in ages from 3 to 13, were found dirty and hungry. Following her arrest, a state's attorney and chief deputy sheriff who investigated sent for hamburgers, ice cream, milk and food for the children. The arrest of MisB Hull followed the complaint of a parent, Mrs. Eleanor Craddock, whose 6-yearold son had started school there a week previous. Although parents were allowed to visit the school only once a month and were to telephone in advance, Mrs. Craddock became lonesome for her son and went to see him Tuesday of last week. She was astounded with conditions smd made a report to Lake authorities. Obtain Warrant f A warrent was obtained charging Miss Hull with contributing to the dependency of minor chil dren, conviction of which carries a maximum penalty of a $200 fine Sad a year in jail. State's Atty. Jfcpfeart C. Nelson said additional Purges would be filed also, Lu eluding failure to have a state license, which is punishable with a $1,000 fine and a year in jail. Miss Hull was said to have been charging $75 a month per child, although the maximum allowed by the Lake county court for board and room for its wards if $40. Deputies reported that the children, some of whom had been at the school since last May, said they had two meals a day. The evening meal last Tuesday included cold pork sandwiches, potato chips and milk. There were reported to be no sheets on the beds and no hot water for baths other than what could be heated in kettles. Three or four slept^in each bed. Miss Hull Is reported to have been fined $100 in 1947 on a charge of operating an unlicensed nursing home at 1801 Prairie avenue, Chicago, where care was given mentally deficient children Mid adults. Unsatisfactory reports were given on the operation of Miss Hull's school at the Bay about five years ago but a thorough investigation was never undertaken. At one time a small boy ran away from the local school and against her wishes was returned by local police to the Chicago parents.
