The book is full of history, experience and programme for training, especially the training of principals in history, doctrine, pastoral skills, firmly rooted in the Gospel ... full of wise words, sound advice and bright vision ... Altogether there are a lot of goads to thought, and strong hope to combine the skills of the doctor with the plumber's faith. Bolder spirits will get their own copies. Others should ensure it is in the teachers' centre or local library.' - - Digest, Association of Christian Teachers
