Published Report

Members of the Association who have read the Report on Secondary Education will be interested to know that the references in the Report to mathematics were considered in January last by the Council and by the Teaching Committee. The following is a copy of the letter sent to the Board of Education in consequence of a resolution of the Teaching Committee. It was signed by the President of the Association as well as by representatives of the Teaching Committee:“The Teaching Committee of the Mathematical Association have had under consideration the recently published Report on Secondary Education, and they wish to make the following observations.

Curriculum Making

American education can advance no more rapidly than the rate at which its basic facts and laws are discovered. Within the field of the mathematics curriculum two concurrent publications exhibit clearly the chief methods by which school men are attempting to discover these basic facts and laws. These publications are: (1) Thorndike and others, The Psychology of Algebra1 (2) The Reorganization of Mathematics in Secondary Education2 (Mathematical Association of America), prepared by a committee of mathematics teachers.

Mathematical Association

We all know that due to external pressure the Mathematical Association of America appointed a committee called the National Committee on Mathematical Requirements and that this committee made recommendations for the reorganization of mathematics in secondary education. Through external pressure, I say, this was brought about; for either mathematicians were too near to be able to focus on the large defects that appeared to outsiders or were too busy amplifying and extending the knowledge brought down from the ancients to realize that times were changing and that if we were to give every child a high school education, we must use a different procedure from that of the old world where only a select class receive a broad education.

University Course

In 1934, the Board of Education asked the Mathematical Association to submit its views on the mathematical aspects of the organisation and interrelation of schools. In its report, the sub-committee appointed for this purpose, of which I was a member, made it clear that at present the mathematics up to School Certificate standard in schools of secondary education was inadequate in its scope and its direction for all but those pupils who will continue to read mathematics in a university course. If we remember that probably only some 10% of the population of our public and secondary schools passes on to any form of university career, and if we agree with the opinion of the sub-committee, we have before us a problem vast in its importance and extent and one which should be tackled without delay
