Abstract

Education does not treat its great men particularly well. It is ready enough to grant recognition, but painfully slow to actually implement the ideas which have brought a reformer some renown. No doubt the administrative split between local and central authority is partly to blame — although there are many who claim that the benefits of creative tension outweigh the loss of concerted planning — but at any rate until the birth of such innovatory institutions as the Schools Council the pace of reform was pretty snail‐like.
