Another five categories for "headmasters" which are focus of management, authoritative and supervisor being, leader and loadstar being, financier of education, a being that have negative features. As to "school conception", six categories have been defined: love and solidarity environment, growth and maturation environment, supervising and discipline environment, guidance environment and finance environment. The conceptual categories created as a result of this categorization process have been analyzed by Pearson's chi-square analysis by taking the age of the participants into consideration. As a result of the analysis, no significant difference has been found between age groups of participants as to teachers, principals and school concepts.
