Good Government vs. Self-Government: Educational Control in Rural America.
Dunne, Faith
Phi Delta Kappan, v65 n4 p252-56 Dec 1983
This article explores the benefits and drawbacks of centralized versus local control of schools. It concludes that our traditional conflict between Jeffersonian and Hamiltonian perspectives makes it possible for us to avoid a permanent imbalance between centrist imperatives and the need to maintain rural strength.
