The Principal and His School is a foundational text in the field of educational administration, focusing on the multifaceted role of the elementary school principal. Written by Ellwood Patterson Cubberley, a prominent figure in the history of American education, this work provides a comprehensive guide to the organization, administration, and supervision of instruction within the school environment. The book explores the principal's responsibilities not just as a manager of facilities and records, but as an essential leader of teachers and a supervisor of the learning process.

Covering crucial topics such as school discipline, community relations, the classification of pupils, and the improvement of teaching methods, this volume offers a detailed look at the systemic requirements of a successful educational institution. It serves as an essential resource for understanding the evolution of school leadership and the professionalization of the principalship in the early twentieth century. By emphasizing the importance of both administrative efficiency and pedagogical excellence, Cubberley highlights the principal's pivotal role in shaping the daily educational experience for young students. This work remains a significant historical document for educators, administrators, and students of the history of education, illustrating the core principles that have guided school management and supervision for decades.
