Page "John G. Bennett" Paragraph 69

Bennett had begun this enterprise with no programme in mind and with only a handful of helpers.

Initially, his ideas had involved running a school in the midst of ' life-conditions ' in Kingston with two dozen students, but contact with a young representative of the New Age Movement in the USA persuaded him to think in terms of larger numbers and a relatively isolated locale in the countryside.

Bennett realized that work on the land ( which he considered to be an essential part of teaching the proper relationship between mankind and the rest of creation ) would require a larger number.

Both Hasan Shushud and Idries Shah made recommendations that, for the most part, he disregarded.
