A WORD FROM ADMINISTRATION. According to its Latin derivation, the word means to minister to. It is an outgoing service. The collection of rec- ords, the establishing of schedules, and the organization of staff and students, are all done to promote the common good of all. The influence of college should be not only for today but for tomorrow. RECORDS. Good administration demands that complete and authentic records be kept. For a college the student accounting relates to finances, attendance, scholastic standings, and other achievement facts. These records should be readily accessible and yet pre- served in a safe and secure places The sys- tem of files and records of Teachers College is modern and stored in fire-proof vaults and safes. SCHEDULES. One of the important functions of administration in the college is to arrange a program of classes and a schedule of events. This must be done in such a way as to prevent conflicts, uphold the best stand- ards, and promote the common good. THE PRESIDENT STAFF COOPERATION. An effective staff needs tools with which to work. These tools may vary from a dust mop to a Levon West etching, from a paper clip to a grand piano. In any case before purchase is made, needs must be carefully analyzed, goods and prices investigated, and satisfaction assured. How to spend money to make working condi- tions pleasant, wholesome, and to secure desired results, that is the problem of ad- ministration. To get away from dull routine, to give to each worker a niche in which he is quite indispensible, is necessary and es- sential. The adrninistrator needs to know how to get cooperation of students, faculty, and staff in the enterprise of building a school to stand through years to be. BUDGETS AND FINANCE. It is probably a good thing educationally that the Dragon school must be operated economically. There is a good deal of fun and satisfaction in keeping within a budget, making ends meet. It is not the amount of money spent that counts, it is the values realized. The trans- mutation of money into character and serv- ice is education from the administrator's point of view.
