ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Feb.
2l-American school admins
traitors don't understand their
own terminology.
Last week. 10000 of them
together with 10000 other edu-
cators-gathered here for the
92d annual conference of the
American Association of School
Administrators.
Judging from a survey made
by the yearbook commission Of
the AASA, they had a tough
time communicating with one
another.
Thousands of school admins
traitors were asked to define
the 25 most basic terms of
school administration, as used
in the academic literature of
the field.
The concepts show that ed
ucationese" is as finely devel-
oped a language as Penta-
gonese and is just as efficient
in barring ineligible COM
munication.
On only II of the IS concepts
could more than so per cent
of the school superintendents
are administrators give correct
definitions.
Here are some examples of
the iargon that has evolved in
the school administration field.
and how the experts handled
them:
"POSDCORB: Only 9 per
cent of the school superintend-
entS knew that this refers to
Gulick'S famous administrative
process formulation-planning,
organizing, stating, directing,
co-ordinating, reporting, budg-
citing.
Parsons Input and Output:
Again, only 9 per cent knew
what this meant. The standard
definition is: These two terms
are parallel to Getzel's nomo-
thetic and idiographic dimen-
EslonS and also to Barnard's s
effectiveness and efficiency
Parsons states that input and
output operate at three levels:
Community, managerial, tech
nical."
The Rabble Hypothesis:
For all 88 per cent of the
experts knew, this could have
had something to do with the
French Revolution. The cor
rect definition: An early con-
.cept which denied the impor-
tance of human motivations in
other than economic terms. It
overlooked human motivation
and sentiment growing out of
the human desire for accept

ance and recognition by friends
and work associates.
"Invasions and Succession:
Only IL per cent were sufi-
ciently up" on their field to
know the definition: When
population moves into an area
for residential purposes, the
phenomenon is termed ecolog-
lcal invasion. If the original
occupants are completely dis
placed by the invaders, the
term succession is commonly
applied to describe what has
occurred"
"ChariSmatic leadership:
Fourteen per cent of the educa-
tors knew that this is the type
of leadership in which staff
organization consists of per-
Sonal servants. authority is
exercised directly with no dele
cation, and the staff is obedient
to the idealized person of the
leader"
Clear? Well, apparently it
isn't to the experts, either.

SPOTLIGHT
on EDUCATION
Superintendent Has Key Role in System

The key role the school
superintendent plays, not only
in the educational system, but
in the community at large,
was emphasized at the 92nd
annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Association of School Ad-
ministrators. held here during
the past week.
Although the 10000 educa-
tors who attended the five-day
session considered many prob
lens. one that was most
persistent was: How can school
superintendents do the best
Job?
The superintendent is a man
who wears many hats: He must
be an educator, administrator
public relations man, long
range planner and day-to-day
executive.
Makes Vital Decisions
He makes major decisions on
academic policy; he hires
teachers; he decides on cur
riculum changes; he performs
liaison between the school
board and the school system.
Often. "aS a sideline," he
operates a bus line carrying
thousands of passengers a day
and a lunch program that
makes him the biggest restau-
rateur in town.
Upon the way he does these
jobS-and a host of others
largely depends the quality of
his community's education,

IF you want to see a cross
section of a typical day in
the life of your school super
intendent spend an hour in
his offlce. The telephone
hardly stops ringing. There
is a steady flow of clerks
with messages, secretaries
pop in with letters to be

Like Their Jobs
But the superintendents like
their jobs.
You have to take it in
stride" said a New York super
intendent. There's too much
to do to permit yourself the
luxury of Self-pity."
The job has its compensa-
tions," commented another.
Despite the constant battle
against petty details, you can
find time to make constructive
decisions. Education is mighty
important today. We must all
strive to improve our schools. :"
Il love the job. even though
it is an ulcer mill" said a Mid
western superintendent.
In the decade ahead major
decisions will have to be made
in the field of education.
Each year an additional
l million boys and girls will
enter the public schools. Edu-
cation is costly. and the cost
will continue to increase. Thou
sands of new teachers will be
needed. Billions of dollars will
be spent on claSsroomS and
school buildings. The Nation
will increase its demand for
better-trained engineers, scien-
fists and technicians.
Man in Middle"
And in each case. the school
superintendent will be the man
in the middle-the man who
will be called upon to make the
final decision in educational
matters. 1t is easy to see why
the attention of educators and
informed citizens generally has
been turned to the professional
improvement of school super
intendents. A good superintend-
ent. adequately prepared, ready
To do a competent job. sympa-
thetic to the needs of his COM

worth his weight in gold.
1t is encouraging to find that
educators are turning their at
tention to the top level of school
administration. The superin-
tendentS may be overworked.
underpaid and unrecognized,
but they love their job. A little
encouragement from their COM
munities may help to maintain
that enthusiasm.

Thorough Study Made
In an effort to get the an
swerS to these and other ques-

most thorough study ever made
of the American school super
intendent. The 3l0-page re-

2. For all practical purposes,
no professional standards are
available to guide a school
board in judging its Superin-

man in a community'S school

basis of superficial factors
friendship, personality traits,
or even the style of his suit
rather than upon education or
