The desire to make the study reported in this paper came from four recent developments in the area of human relations as they apply to educational leadership. First, the writer was asked to participate in the Annual Supervisors Conference held in Gainesville in January 1953, in which he was a member of the group working cooperatively with the Florida Committee of Southern States Work Conference studying supervision. Originally, the statement of purpose was "How Principals and Supervisors can work together for more effective instructional leadership." Second, at the 1953 study conference of the Association for Childhood Education International held in Denver there were fourteen separate groups devoted to the study of "Human Relations in the Education of the Child." Third, a survey of the educational periodicals for the nine years just past shows a pronounced increase in the recognition that human relations is a major concern of schools today. Fourth, there has been an increasing awareness on the part of the writer that herein lies the solution to many of the misunderstandings and conflicting philosophies that are barriers to the progress in education. The limitations of this paper are: first, that it will emphasize human relations in principal-staff relationships and mention other phases of the school program only as they relate directly to the major emphasis; second, that it is a study of the literature only, together with an analysis of the writer's personal experience as a teacher and principal. However, it is hoped that the principles presented will be applicable to all relations with individuals in similar situations. / Typescript. / "August, 1953." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Mildred E.
