Developing Educational Personnel¹

Dairy Department, University of Tennessee, Knoxville

ABSTRACT

Although subject matter is of greatest importance in developing a dairy program in colleges and experiment stations, personnel problems and opportunities play a very important part in the success of this program. This applies to all fields of agriculture. The objective of this paper is to discuss some of the factors involved in selecting, training, and developing personnel for educational work in college dairy departments.

People vary in temperament, ability, training, and experience. This is fortunate since many kinds of jobs must be handled. Some people are good leaders; some are good followers. Sometimes we have people who can be both. Every one of us at one time was a beginner, and somebody took a chance on us to help develop us either for a particular objective or an incidental necessity. Some people are outstanding in research, extension work, or teaching. This includes some who make their greatest contribution to developing young men. Only a few may be good supervisors or administrators.
