36 SCHAOL AUTOCRAGY SCORED BY BALLOU! Especially Out of Place in Classroom, His Manu- script Declares. Autocracy in the offices of school authorities or in classrooms is de- nounced by Superintendent of Schools Frank W. Ballou. In a manuscript on “The City School Superintendent as an Opportunity for Leadership.” Dr. Ballou declares that “autocracy the superintendent’s office, in other office of the school system. the out of or any or indeed in tiis da the whole school training young people to partic in a democracy. the school throughout should _cxemplif: enirit of practices of democ Mere Force Ineffective. *In my judgment,” said Dr. Ballou, “no superintendent can long maintain himself who undertakes to direct the affairs of the school system by the mere force of his official position.” The superintendent who issues “oi ders” to his subordinates Is dHest soon to find the board of eduTation obliged to step in to give him “or- ders.” The problem of directing the operation of a school system in of our larger cities—and it is true re in smaller d varied. and ttention, intendent must dele- ind respons classroom, requires so muc that the supe gate much initiat bility to his assocl “I belleve’ that the superintendent should be the executive officer of the board, should be given large a thority, and shou!% Se held, strictly accountable by the boar3 -4 .uca- tlon for the conduct of his office. Nevertheless,”T also- belleve that the superintendent must inevitably dele- &ate to the members of his official staff a portion of the authority and responsibility centralized in his office. In turn, the superintendent must hold his subordinate officlals accountable to him for the proper exercise of the authority passed on to them, and must hold himself accountable to the boasd " of educatlon for the educ ts between the superinten ent and his official Staff, the exte: to. which the superintendent schools will be able to exercise ership among his offiefal family it depend, to a large extent, on his in- sight Into the work of those officers. It the superintendent has h perlence as a teacher he ¢ self in the teacher's place. been a principal of a school or @ di- rector of a department or a district or arsistant superintendent in a large city, he will be able to appreclate the difficulties which corresponding officers of his staff meet in their work. The superintendent will be able to gulde them in their work, and 1a likely to be able to establish that confidence and mutual understanding which {s essential in the exercise of leadership. Hls success depends on the work of others. Unless he can ‘nspire them with h sion. enthu- siaem and education: s not llkely to meet asure of success.” GEORGETOWN TO BE HOST Reception Will Be Given in Honor of Apostolic Delegate.
