Over five hundred principals and teachers of mathematics in one hundred secondary schools in twenty states agree that the successful teacher of mathematics is usually one whose training and experiences have been extensive, one who is not merely a specialist in the field of mathematics, as the child—not the subjectmatter—is the first consideration here, as in all fields. The basis for this statement results from a recent investigation made by the Commission on Unit Courses and Currirula of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, a preliminary report of which has been previously published.* The generalization was drawn from responses to questionnaires submitted by this group of educators.

Low Ability

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, at the Washington meeting, authorized the organization of a Committee on Individual Differences which was instructed to investigate the matters of ability grouping, differentiated curriculums, and the like. To avoid a useless and expensive duplication of effort, it seemed desirable that this assignment be assumed by an existing committee operating under the direction of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools known as the Committee on Unit Courses in Mathematics for Students of Low Ability. It seemed that it would be much better from every angle to have the National Council and the North Central Association cooperate in this difficult but crucial investigation.

School Curricula

Orientation. In 1926 the Committe on the Reorganization of Secondary School Curricula, of the North Central Association, appointed a subcommittee for mathematics. The general purpose of this committee concerned the enrichment of high school curricula. The committee attempted to list the specific objectives under the headings health, leisure time, social, and vocational.
