	Small had determined to enter the Methodist Ministry. Then, while visiting Germany with his sister in 1906, his last year at Cambridge and the same summer that he became engaged to Thekla Hermine Guenther, he received a surprise "call" from the Wesleyan Missionary Society. It invited him to replace Principal JH Darrell at Ceylon's [[Wikipedia:Richmond College (Sri Lanka) \| Richmond College]], Darrell having died tragically in an outbreak of typhoid at the school's boarding hostel. Thus began Small's career as an educational missionary, one that led to him be described by a distinguished former pupil long afterwards as "one of the outstanding figures in the field of education in Sri Lanka in the early years of [the 20th] century…[who]…came out as a simple missionary…[and]…devoted himself to the teaching and training of boys in Sri Lanka, whom he learned to love, and to whom he gave of his best".

	Seventy years on, P de S Kuleratne still remembered vividly the day in November 1906 that Rev. Small made his first appearance at the School. The boys were all gatheredin the Hall, looking up the Hill for their first sight of the new Principal. Suddenly a hush fell on the assembly: "[There appeared a] tall young man in cap and gown, bending down every now and then picking up something from the road as he came down the hill. Great was our amusement when we found out that he had been picking up the pieces of paper which we had probably thrown away as we came down to school from the Boarding House. No less was our surprise when we found out how young he was…" Kuleratne remembered not only that his new Principal was "tall" and "well built", but also that he was "not so awe-inspiring as Principal Darrell".
