ABSTRACT

In February 1925 Henry Morris, the newly appointed Secretary for Education of the county of Cambridgeshire, England, presented to his committee a document which was radically to alter the educational provision in that county and indeed was eventually to have an impact on much of the English-speaking world. The pamphlet had an unimaginably ponderous title: The Village College: Being a Memorandum on the Provision of Educational and Social Facilities for the Countryside with Special Reference to Cambridgeshire.
