Description: The central thesis of this book is the simple but frequently neglected principle that instruction is the supreme purpose of the schools and that all activities and services essential to the successful operation and improvement of instruction must be considered as contributory. Administration is a service activity, an agency through which the fundamental objectives of the educational process may be more fully and efficiently realized. Accepting the permanence and the social importance of the educational function, administrators proceed to examine, appraise, and orient objectively all structure and organizational practices in terms of instructional purposes.
