It was estimated' that about 200 different people attended the meeting. The Council voted to incorporate and accepted the by-laws as printed in the January number of the TEACHER with certain modifications. Article II, Section 2, was changed so as to permit anyone who paid the annual dues to become a member.

The annual publication of the Association of Teachers of Mathematics in the Middle States and Maryland became a quarterly journal called the Mathematics Teacher in 1908. W. H. Metzler, a professor at Syracuse University, served as its editor from its inception until it became the official journal of the newly formed National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in January 1921, with J. R. Clark as the new editor. In 1921, the present monthly schedule of publication for the school year was adopted.

The old order has changed—and given place to the new. In action taken one year ago, the Board of Directors of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics created a new position and eliminated an old one. As of July 15, 1969, Miss Carol V. McCamman became Managing Editor of The Mathematics Teacher. Miss McCamman came to her new work with a rich experience in teaching mathematics at Coolidge High School, Washington, D.C. She also edited the invaluable Cumulative Index of The Mathematics Teacher, volumes 1– 58, 1908 through 1965. As of the date of this issue, the present editor completes his term.

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics is a national organization of mathematics teachers in elementary and secondary schools. Its purpose is the promotion and stimulation of better teaching of mathematics. The National Council operates chiefly through three divisions of its organization; namely, The Mathematics Teacher, The Year Book, and the annual meeting of its members and board of directors.

With this issue the Mathematics Teacher becomes the official journal of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Its editorial policy will be characterized, it is hoped, by a broad, generous disposition to give approval and publicity to all constructive efforts to improve the teachings of mathematics. In this period of reconstruction, when the whole problem of the selection and organization of the materials in mathematical curricula is so vital, and, to date, so much a matter of a priori thinking, we can ill afford to try to negative the tentative solutions of those whose judgments differ from ours. The Teacher represents no one faction, no one “school of thinking.” Its columns shall constitute a forum through which the positive claims of the advocates of any “prescription” of mathemathical material may be discussed. We have a deep conviction that only after clear a priori thinking has been supplemented by long and careful experimentation, can any purported solution of our curriculum problem assert serious claims for wide acceptance and adoption.

Changes in the plan for the editing and business management of The Mathematics Teacher recently adopted by the Board of Directors, the affiliation of the Council with the National Education Association, and the formation of a delegate assembly made changes in the By-Laws of the Council advisable. The Board of Directors therefore authorized a committee to study the By-Laws and propose changes to be voted on at the business meeting of the Council to be held in Pittsburgh this spring.
