Cut them down to size

Abstract

We live at a time when it is not only a fashion to build schools big, but when education authorities are enlarged until they cover wide areas in the belief that size is a synonym for efficiency. The “Small is beautiful” school of thought is, however, growing into a powerful movement; so it may not be an inopportune time to question whether the larger education authorities will be as efficient as their smaller predecessors.
