School Administration And School Reports PDF Download

Excerpt from School Administration and School Reports In accordance with the general purpose of the book, the first essay deals with the Meaning of Education. This essay endeavors to outline spe cifically, though in general terms, the necessary educational doctrine of a superintendent of public schools in a democratic society like ours, and it sug gests also in outline the different kinds of schools which the conception of education defined in the essay requires for its embodiment in practice. In other words, the first essay attempts to outline briefly educational Opportunity in relation to con temporary educational needs. The nature of the second essay is defined in its title, Some Principles of School Administration. This essay was originally read at the meeting of the Department of Superintendence of the National Education Association in 1913. It attempts to set forth in a brief, but it is hoped in a definite, way cer tain fundamental principles which every superin tendent who seeks to define his administrative policy needs to assimilate. The third essay deals with Town and City School Reports, More Particularly Superintendents' Re ports, and aims to achieve two distinct but related purposes; first, to show the unsatisfactory character of most school reports as they are; and second, to suggest definite ways of improving them. Much uncertainty undoubtedly exists in the minds of su perintendents concerning the aims, scope, and method of the reports which they are required to submit from time to time for the information of the school board, the teaching staff, and the public. This essay seeks to define these important elements of school reports, and the writer hopes that it will be found of service in the field which it covers. It was read at the meeting of Section L, in December, 1915 (chairman's address), and was printed in School and Society for January 29 and February 16, 1916.
