Abstract
This paper aims to clarify how municipal superintendents of schools recognize the differences between their superintendency and their former occupation (teaching profession and public administration). This enables us to get a glimpse of the characteristics of superintendency. As a result of this analysis, the main points clarified are as follows: 1) superintendents are required to have political and negotiating abilities to cope with municipal heads, assemblymen, community people, and regional groups. Interpersonal relationship skills, vision-setting ability, and educational guidance competency are also required. 2) Moreover, superintendency is characterized by the very wide job scope, the overweighted burden of job responsibility, busyness and a busy office, and the necessity for sound judgements from a wide field of vision.
