Excerpt from Agencies of Supervision General school supervision is an art in which few people are proficient. The supervisor should be well-equipped with tech nical knowledge and should possess numerous kinds of skill, skill in reading; skill in drawing; skill in music; skill in actual teaching; skill in analyzing a situation; skill in dealing with children; skill in dealing with teachers, and so on through a long list. A good teacher does not necessarily make a good supervisor. There are many qualities required in a supervisor that are not so essential for the classroom teacher. To be eminently success ful, the supervisor must possess a deeper insight into the prob lems involved in education than do those he is called upon to supervise. The supervisor should dominate not by reason of the authority given him but by reason of the fact that he has a larger and richer personality and is possessed of an unusually whole some and sympathetic attitude toward the children, the teachers, and the public.
