Abstract
Speech given by President Jay L. Nelson at the AVA Convention at Denver, Colorado on December 7, 1966. Although the speech begins with an anecdote about Brigham Young, the main focus of the speech is "supervising to get better teaching." Nelson even defines a supervisor as "one who directs the activities of others and that his principal objective is the improvement of instruction." Combined with the "supervisor's ten commandments" this speech advocates for good supervisory techniques in education.
