A concerted effort is in progress to establish a branch of the National Council in Louisiana-Mississippi. The sponsors of this program are the officers of the Louisiana-Mississippi Section of the Mathematical Association of America. The annual meeting of this Section, which usually comes at the end of March, has been fixed for March 4-5, 1927, in order to secure the attendance of officers and other members of the National Council who will be returning from the Dallas meeting of the Council which occurs the previous week.

The Seventeenth Annual Meeting ofthe National Council of Teachers of Mathematics was held in St. Louis, Missouri, December 31, 1935 to January 1, 1936. This is the first annual meeting the National Council has held with the A.A.A.S. One hundred eighty-four registered for the meetings though the total attendance was well in excess of two hundred. A joint session with Section A of the A.A.A.S., the American Mathematical Society, and the Mathematical Association of America, was held on Tuesday morning, December 31, with approximately 250 in attendance. Professor Kenncth P. Williams of I ndiana University presented a temporary report of the Joint Commission on the Place of Mathematics in the Secondary School. “The Main Purposes and Objectives in Teaching High School Mathematics” was discussed by William Betz of Rochester, New York, representing the National Council, and W. W. Hart, representing the Mathematical Association of America. On Tuesday afternoon the National Council presented a Symposium on the Teaching of Geomcetry. Professor W. H. Roever of Washington University, St. Louis, discussed in a very thorough manner the 11Purpose, Nature, and use of Pictures in the Teaching of Solid Geometry.” John T. Rule, the Taylor School, Clayton, Missouri, presented an interesting paper on “Stereoscopy as an Aid to the Teaching of Solid Geometry.” The session closed with a stimulating discussion by Rolland R. Smith, Classical High School, Springfield, Mass., on “Developing the Meaning of Demonstration in Geometry.” The Tuesday evening session was opened by an address of welcome by the Rev. Father Robert S. Johnston, President of St. Louis University. The response was made by Miss Edith Woolsey of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Professor Edwin W. Schreiber, State Teachers College, Macomb, Illinois, presented an illustrated lecture on “The History of the Development of the Metric System.” Miss Ruth Lane, University High School, Iowa City, Iowa, presented an illuminating paper on “Mathematical Recreations, an Aid or a Relief?” On Wednesday morning, J anuary 1, the Annual Business session of the National Council was held. At this session Professor H. E. Slaught of the University of Chicago was honored in being elected Honorary President of the National Council.

R. Breslich, Chicago, Illinois, Leonard D. Haertter, Clayton, Missouri, and Virgil S. Mallory, Montclair, New Jersey. The morning session closed with two interesting papers: “Functiona! Thinking and Teaching in Secondary School Mathematics” by Professor H. C. Christofferson, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio; and “The Crisis in Mathematics—at Rome and Abroad— by Professor William D. Reeve, Teachers

Abstract Public historians have long been putting history to work in meaningful ways, cultivating collaborative opportunities, building partnerships, and engaging with the public. In times of economic uncertainty, communicating the relevance of history and the work of historians is more important than ever. This article suggests ways to apply marketing communication principles to connect public historians with their audience. This article is a revised version of the presidential address delivered March 13, 2010 at the National Council on Public History's annual meeting in Portland, Oregon. Marking the thirtieth anniversary of the incorporation of NCPH, it recaps the origins and evolution of the organization over three decades, and proposes an action plan for its growth into the future.
