In administration and supervision, an accepted principle becomes part

of one’s general philosophy which serves to determine and evaluate his

educational objectives, attitudes, practices and outcomes.
A sound principle is formulated from carefully observed facts or
objectively measured results which are common to series of similar
experiences. The guiding value of principle depends not only upon the
soundness of its origin, but also upon the individuals acceptance,
understanding, and ability to apply the principles.
Diversity of educational practices in the field calls for a sound
administrative and supervisory philosophy to coordinate all activities of
the school in order to realize its fundamental objectives. Sound
administrative and supervisory philosophy contemplates the socializing
of the individual through self-controlled participation in the democratic
organization of the school. In this philosophy we must find the
principles of education administration and supervision, for those
participles are but the interpretation of the philosophy in terms of
school administration and supervision. With a unity of educational
philosophy, it is likely that diversity in school practices will largely work
towards the accomplishment of a common purpose.
The central thought of our philosophy is in belief, socialization through
democracy. In true democracy every person is a participating unit-
participating in so far, and in such a way, as his personal qualifications
and status permit. Differences in participation are based upon
differences of capacity rather than of rights for rights vary with
capacity. Virtually it means that the principles which the writer
proposes must be applicable alike to every member of the institution,
whether he be a principal, a supervisor, or a department head, and in
each case the principles must be applied in terms of respective and
particular function of the individual in the institution.
