Preliminary Report of the Committee on Geometry
At the meeting of the National Council in Washington, February 20, 1932 the following motion was passed without dissenting vote: “The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics reaffirm their interest in the question of geometry as expressed at the annual meeting in Detroit, and hope that the Board of Directors will find it possible to initiate and carry forward a study of the whole question of geometry in our schools.” The directors forthwith empowered the new president, Mr. Betz, to appoint a Committee on Geometry; and he, anxious that some work should go forward during the long time necessary for the final organization of this and other committees, selected six members of the National Council for immediate service on the committee, intending to enlarge the membership as soon as possible in order that it might include an even wider range of interest and opinion.
