Abstract

The article deals with the growing concern for emphasizing human relations and community leadership in the professional education of school administrators. The choosing and training of standard ideal school administrators who are interchangeable in many typical school situations is unrealistic. The stress now is on the unique personality of each who is chosen or who chooses to devote his life to school administration and the stress should include the unique personalities of the human beings with whom he deals. It is an emphasis on dealing with people as people rather than as things or statistics. It recognizes that feelings are facts and must be added to the sheer logic of intelligence if one is to understand motivation and the pattern of human behavior. The editors point out carefully that there is a difference in working relations when we view the internal direction of human behavior in terms of attitudes and perceptions as contrasted to the external compulsion of human behavior based on a rigid application of the S-R bond psychology.
