The development of a sound educational system is dependent on many interrelated factors. It would be an almost impossible task to try to determine which factor is the most important. It should suffice to say that when one factor is weak, then the whole system is weakened correspondingly.It is the writer’s belief that the selection of school personnel is the most important factor in the development of a sound, functional school system. The writer, therefore, working under this premise, conducted this study for the purpose of evaluating the effect of various theories and practices in the area of certain teacher selection procedures by: (1) reviewing literature in the area, (2) determining what factors were considered important to representatives of schools and school districts using the Teachers’ Appointment Bureau at the University of Kansas,, during the 1963-64 school year, as a source of new teachers, and (3) determining what information the aforementioned interviewers wished included in the credential forms presently used by Colleges, Universities and Employment Agencies.
