This paper is a study of a test on deductive reasoning and a comparison of the results of that test with the teachers’ marks in plane geometry. T his test was given to 49 high-school girls who had just completed a half year’s work in plane geometry covering during that time the first two books of Robbins & Somerville’s text-book. Previous to their study of geometry they had studied algebra through simultaneous quadratics, spending on that 5 periods a week for one school year and 2 periods a week of ¼ of a school year. That was followed by 2 periods a week for ¼ of a school year in constructive geometry. In the case of 5 of these girls we have been unable to obtain the teacher’s marks, so that in this paper the answers of only 44 girls are taken into account.

In the October 1929 number of the Mathematics Teacher there appeared a report of individual work done in ninth grade algebra1. The following report may be of interest as a description of an attempt to teach plane geometry by an individual instruction method. It was used in the Russell High School of the Southeastern State Teachers College, Durant, Oklahoma during the winter and spring of 1927-28. The class used was composed of about twentyfive members which were all the pupils taking geometry in this particular school. The text book in use was the state adopted text of Oklahoma, Newell and Harper's Plane Geometry, published by RowPeterson and Company.
