Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine if school organizations grow in accordance with the square-cube law for growing organisms. Seven districts noted for stable organization and moderate enrollment growth were selected and data on the number of personnel classified according to organizational contacts were collected for the period 1919-1962.
High linear correlation coefficients (.782 ≤ r ≤ .994) were noted between the cube root of the number of personnel with internal contacts and the square root of the number of personnel with external contacts, but almost equivalent coefficients were noted between the two categories of personnel without transforming the data according to the square-cube law (.662 ≤ r ≤ .978). It was concluded that growth patterns for these districts may not conform to the biological model.
