Professor Herbert Ellsworth Slaught, honorary president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, passed away on May 21, 1937, at his home in Chicago in his seventy-sixth year. Professor Slaught's death removes from the scene of action one of the most devoted servants of the cause of mathematics in this country. For many years he was active not only in the affairs of the National Council, but also in those of the Mathematical Association of America, The American Mathematical Society, the Central Association of Science and Mathematics Teachers and several local organizations. He was a leader in the best sense. He was interested not only in promulgating and encouraging research activities, but was also active in stimulating others to study and improve the teaching of mathematics in secondary schools. He was instrumental in founding the Mathematical Association of America in 1916, and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in 1920. His death is a distinct loss to all the mathematical organizations that he served so long and so well.

Three or four years ago the National Council published a review of progress in the teaching of mathematics during the preceding twentyfive years. Among the contributions to that end was the reprinting of an address made to the American Mathematical Society in 1902 by its President, E. H. Moore.

National Organizations

Of the three national organizations devoted to the promotion of mathematics, the oldest is the American Mathematical Society, which this September is celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of its founding in 1888. The Mathematical Association of America, which usually holds its summer meeting in conjunction with that of the Society, this year is omitting its meeting altogether and inviting its membership to share in the celebration of the older organization. It is the desire of the Society to extend an invitation to participate also to the membership of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.

Teaching Of Mathematics

The American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America number some 5000 members. The American Mathematical Society is devoted primarily to the development of research in mathematics, and the Mathematical Association of America to the teaching of mathematics. About a year ago these societies appointed a committee known as the War Preparedness Committee, to prepare the two societies to be useful to our nation in time of war. The ways and means of doing this were not prescribed, but were left to the committee. Before I give you details about our organization and aims it will be helpful to make a few remarks concerning the role of science in defense in general.

The present year has occasioned numerous reviews of the march of events since the turn of the century. Is it not fitting that a similar scrutiny should occur in the field of mathematical instruction? And so, it is a pleasure to be able to call attention to the Anniversary Book, now rapidly approaching completion, of the Central Association of Science and Mathematics Teachers. It is entitled A Half Century of Teaching Science and Mathematics. In like manner, it is now thirty years since the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics was organized.
