22. What the school system needs to understand is that its
strength lies, not in the strength of the central organization,
but in the strength of the individual school, not in making one
school like another, but in making each school a distinct unit.
The need of the system is the preservation of its units, so that
each school can keep itself alive, wide awake, responsive to
its people, easily adaptable, the best of its kind.
