lished in October 1952. Chapters in other issues of REVIEW have been tangentially relevant. Charters (14) devoted some attention to concepts of leadership and authority in a REVIEW concerned primarily with sociological concepts as they applied to school situation. Hines and Curran (49) and Sumption (81) dealt with relationship of school and community. Symonds and Ford (82) included a few limited references to administrator and his staff relationships in an article concerned with teacher welfare. The review of group dynamics and small group processes (85) is generally relevant at methodological-theoretical level. None of these articles deals primarily with human relations as seen from point of view of educational administrator, however. In general, studies of human interaction in educational administration have tended to follow pattern of similar studies of large organizations in government and in industry. These studies have, in past, been carried on for most part without strict adherence to any systematic theory, partly because existing psycho-sociological models were too narrow to provide meaningful theory, and partly because there was a prior need to identify and describe significant variables. Human-relations research industry may properly be dated from now classic Hawthorne studies of Roethlisberger and Dixon; these and subsequent studies served to signal end of era of scientific management by showing that major problems arising from increased size and specialization were in realm of human relationships rather than in technical processes. The issues posed by this revolt against older views of administration have still to be resolved. As Stein (75) has pointed out, however, while the new morality is still inchoate, . . . efforts to bring it to birth are genuine and energetic. As study has advanced, there has been a successive refinement of theoretical notions with regard to motivation and other related aspects of human behavior. The development of theory has proceeded along with empirical research and in many cases has grown out of research instead of preceding it. As a part of this development, application of theory to investigation of administrative phenomena has achieved increasingly higher * The authors wish to express their indebtedness to Chiranji Sharma and Charles Bidwell, who assisted materially in collection and classification of studies reviewed.
