Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Origin and Development of the Public School Principalship The literature on educational administration is conspicuously barren in historical accounts of the origin and development of our leading officers in public-school administration. Such accounts as do exist are fragmentary and report chiefly episodes of these officers in the management of local schools. As a result, the basis for generalization regarding the professional status of modern administrative officers in public schools is decidedly inadequate. The idea of tracing the genetic development of one of these officers, the public-school principal, occurred to the author as a task worthy of extended research. Accordingly, with the approval of his sponsoring professor, he undertook the problem as a Doctoral investigation with the results herewith reported. For data he went to the published annual reports of executive officers in twelve city school systems. By perusing thousands of pages of these reports, covering a period of school history of one-hundred years, he was able to discover the order of development of the major duties assigned to school principals and the conditions which gave impetus to the development of the modern principalship. The findings of the investigation provide for the first time an authentic picture in retrospect of the growth and development of the principalship and furnish the criteria for evaluating the duties now performed by school principals. A careful reading of the study by principals and by supervisory officers of principals should result in a new conception of the professional responsibilities of administrative officers. The forces which gave rise to the development of the earliest professional powers and duties of principals are even stronger and more essential today than they were at the time lay officers of boards of education began to seek professional assistance in the organization, administration, and supervision of local schools by turning to superior teachers and clothing them with certain administrative responsibilities too technical for laymen satisfactorily to perform.
