Two-Week Program for Educators Ends With Lecture by Overholtzer

The 1952 Summer Program in Educational Administration, now in its second and last week, held its final open meeting last night. Kenneth S. Overholtzer, Superintendent of Schools in Denver and president of the American Association of School Administrators, spoke on "The Education Citizens Want."

This summer's conference has been under the joint sponsorship of the Summer School and the Cooperative Program in Educational Administration, which is working under a $3,000,000 grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. The long-range aim of the Cooperative Program, which is to run for another four years, is to develop more effective administration of public schools by having school superintendents work with social psychologists, sociologists, and political scientists.

This year's group will be organized into research teams to study an area in New England later on in the summer.

"Educators tend to spend too much time setting up budgets and course programs," explained George Flower, assistant director of the Kellogg program here. "More attention should be paid to human organization rather than mechanical production."

The Conference has sponsored four talks which were open to the public, in addition to its schedule of closed meetings. Featured speakers have been: John E. Ivey, Jr., director of the Board of Control for Southern Regional Education; Norman Cousina, editor of the Saturday Review of Literature; and Paul H. Apple by, dean of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University.
