At a meeting held in Cambridge, January 20, 1934, at which 80 members were present, the Association passed the following votes concerning geometry, for communication to the Committee on Geometry of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and to the Commission on Mathematics of the College Entrance Examination Board. These votes grew out of a series of resolutions which were framed by two committees of this Association, one committee representing the eastern part of New England, the other the Connecticut Valley Branch of this Association.

Inasmuch as we are all interested in the general problem of what should constitute general education for the masses and in the particular problem of what part mathematics should play in that education, it is of great importance that the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics take a prominent interest in the deliberations and reports of various groups throughout the country who have been studying such problems. The social studies commission, for example, has spent an enormous amount of time and money in getting out a large number of reports. The College Entrance Examination Board has been reorganizing its requirements. A new study is just being inaugurated in connection with education in New York State under the Regents’ system. We have our own Joint Commission of the Mathematics Association of America and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics on “The Place of Mathematics in Secondary Education.” This Commission will have to study the above problems, but their report will be more complete and helpful if they have had the support and advice of an alert membership of the two large groups which they represent. It is to be hoped, therefore, that all teachers of mathematics will follow the work of this Commission.

A proposal bas been made to the College Entrance Examination Board that it should modify its requirements so as to bring about the more extensive introduction of courses including an appreciable amount of solid geometry in the first year of geometry, in place of a part of the plane geometry ordinarily taught. In response to a request from the Board, a committee has been appointed by the Mathematical Associntion of America and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics to discuss the feasibility of the proposal.
