co-operation. The teacher enjoys a certain amount of prestige with the class and if he is rebuked
in the presence of the class, his headmaster encroaches upon the rights of the teacher. If the
headmaster feels that the teacher needs correction, he should send for him after the period is

as a better person, wiser and in more pleasant mood than when he went to him. The headmaster
should have friendly attitude towards his teachers. He should regard himself and his staff as a
team, as a little family. He is the head of the family to guide all other members.
