I find some difficulty in answering this question, because it seems to reduce the whole problem of the reorganisation of education to terms of bricks and mortar. Local Authorities generally are dealing with the problem, but I cannot give statistics of their progress in these terms. For some years past the number of head teacherships has been slowly decreasing, but the net decrease in 1924 was greater than in any subsequent years.
