Willard Skaggs is slowly recov-

that he sustained in an automo-
bile accident at Pine Tree on
Wednesday night. He was first
taken to Delaware Hospital, then
upon becoming better, he was re-

still unable to move around. The
accident occurred when a binding
rainstorm and some fog made it
pretty hard to see anything that
might have loomed along the
highway, and consequently, Mr..
Skaggs ran into a bank along the
highway. A companion who was
with the victim escaped uninjured

He blasted as "fallacious" the
argument that ''has been fed

so at the expense of our own

It is important. Senator Morse

the University Of Delaware.

DR.. Perkins cited the meaning of
the term "POSDCORB". used in the
literature of public administrator
by DR.. Luther Guliok. The term re-
fers to the most common tools of
administrative work: planning, or
ganization, stating. directing, CO.
ordinating. reporting, and budget
Ing. All are necessary for effective
work. the speaker explained
Speaking of the conflicting func-
tions of administrative deans, DR..
Perkins asserted. There is al
ways danger in putting incom-
patable functions within one or
ganizational division. For exam
pie. the Dean of Students Office is
often concerned with both social
activities and other services to
students and at the same time it is
assigned to disciplinary and other
regulatory functions. Your Offices
have been organized primarily on
the basis of clientele rather than
functions. | do not advocate a
change nor do | have ready pro-
posal for satisfactory separation of
your conflicting responsibilities.
You should simply be aware that
from the tendency to overlook un-
ifunctionalism in organizing stu
dent personnel work"
Among the duties and obligations
OF the administrator. choosing the
right associates is one of the most
important. DR.. Perkins declared.
Losing 8 key man may hurt your
organization and work, but you
should never stand in the way of
promotions. At least your reputa-
ton is enhanced If your capable
associates move into better posi-
tions as witnesses of your training.
Speaking of the temptation to steal
sabordinates' opportunities is a re-
minder Of an old issue confronting

enough teachers to give the undi-
vided attention that these small fry
need. Even in small group there
should be two teachers. 1t so often
happens that one child needs some
thing that ties up a teachers time.
There should be another person
available for the rest of the group.
In larger groups reasonable
ratio is one teacher to each or
10 children.
At the same time that child has
a great deal of freedom to play
creatiyely, he must also, in good
nursery school, conform to certain
disciplines. He learns that the
other children have rights and feel
ings. too. He comes to understand
about taking turns and sharing. He
also learns to stand for his own
rights and fight his own battles
The good teacher helps both the
shy child and the aggressive child
to modify their patterns for better
social adjustment.
A good nursery school is interest
ed in everything about a child-and
that means his parents, too. The
school will welcome parents to
come and visit and observe. They
will want parents to discuss school
policy as we'll as their individual
child's problems.

College administrators are usu-
ally selected from the teaching
ranks. Therein they have a natur-
al advantage. The exercise of au-
thority can be made less obvious

them so as to elucidate the prob

the one you prefer. Most reason
able men, be they students, alumni,
or president and trustees, will
agree with you. Bringing others to
a management or institutional
point of view is teaching. 1t is also
administration"
The responsibilities and prob
lens of the administrative dean are
many and varied, DR.. Perkins
agreed. Every dean needs to de-
velop his skill in public relations.
He must be. conscious that there is
more to public relations than build
ing his own popularity and repu-
tation. More important is the obli-
CATION to develop public acceptance
of institutional policy. 1t is what
we are paid for and if need be we
should sacrifice our own public re-
lations for the institution and even
for our colleagues"
Credit to the extent of extrava
CANT praise for what is done should
be passed along to ones col
leagues" DR.. Perkins concluded.
"Only occasionally will the respon-
sible, doer-executive receive his
fair share Of commentator in his
own day for major accomplish
ments. A forward looking admin
istrator will find his greatest sat
isfactions in those accomplish
ments which bring to his institu
tion changes which may come to be
common in others years later"
