Excerpt from Educational Administration: Quantitative StudiesIt is the purpose of this book to enable students of education to learn some of the methods and results of recent scientific studies of school administration. Teachers of education in universities feel the need of supplementing students' acquaintance with the common-sense principles of school management by some study of impartial and exact investigations which carry knowledge beyond conventional opinions, no matter how sagacious.At present they must, to do this, rely solely upon lectures or require students to read long, technical and highly specialized reports of original investigations, access to which is often difficult, especially in the case of large classes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
