THOUGHTS

Abstract

The 160‐odd firms in the educational group of the Publishers' Association range from many‐headed giants like Pergamon to provincial midgets like Davis and Moughton of Leamington Spa. You can't help feeling some affection and sympathy for the Davis and Moughtons — the regional houses born on the tide of universal education and left a little at a loss now, with their four‐rules arithmetics, their spelling and table books, while the educational departments of the big publishers, corporation‐financed and able to take a risk, swoop in for the Nuffield, new maths, liberal studies kill.
