The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics has published three different types of material. First, there is THE MATHEMATICS TEACHER, the official journal of the Council, which is published every month except in June, July, August and September, the subscription price of which is $2.00 per year. Second, there are the yearbooks (sixteen of them to date) on important topics related to the teaching of Mathematics, which (except for the first and second which are now out of print) can be had postpaid for $1.25 each. Or if desired, all of the yearbooks still available, namely 3- 16 inclusive, may be had from The Bureau of Publications, Teachers College 525 W. 120 St., New York, N. Y. for $14.00 postpaid. Third, the Council has published the first of a series of monographs on “Contributions of Mathematics to Civilization,” which can be had from The Bureau of Publications above for 25¢ postpaid. Other monographs in the series are in preparation and will be published as soon as possible.

Annual Publication

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.

Teaching Of Mathematics

The United States Office of Education has received urgent and repeated requests from individuals and organizations throughout the country to give the secondary schools detailed suggestions for the teaching of mathematics for pre-induction purposes. In December 1942, the Office in cooperation with the President of The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics appointed a committee to make a survey of the mathematical needs of the armed forces and upon this basis to make a report concerning what the schools can do for the emergency. The committee consisted of Virgil S. Mallory, Professor of Mathematics, New Jersey State Teachers College at Montclair; William D. Reeve, Professor of Mathematics, Teachers College, Columbia University; Giles M. Ruch, Chief, Research and Statistical Service, U. S. Office of Education; Raleigh Schorling, Professor of Education, University of Michigan; and Rolland It. Smith, Specialist in Mathematics for the Public Schools of Springfield, Massachusetts, and President of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Dr. Smith served as chairman of the Committee.

Owing to a mistake in the recent advertising material sent out by the Mathematics Teacher some of our readers have the idea that we issue a September number. We are sorry that such a mistake was made, as no numbers ever appear in June, July, August or September.

Two interesting meetings developed the topics (1) The Contribution of Arithmetic to General Education and (2) Necessary Special Instruction in Arithmetic. The first was led by professor Van Engen of Cedar Falls, Iowa, and the second by Professor Grossnickle of Jersey City, New Jersey. Participating with Dr. Van Engen were Dr. Burch of Boston University and Mr. Bebell, a graduate student at Teachers College. Mr. McMeen of Newark assisted Dr. Grossnickle.

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.

Deep Conviction

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.

Teaching Of Mathematics

In The Mathematics Teacher for November, 1925 I published an article on “Objectives in the Teaching of Mathematics,” a large part of which was a list of specific objectives in elementary algebra. In the March 1927 issue of the same magazine I published a list of objectives to be attained in teaching intermediate algebra. In the preparation of these lists I had the assistance of a large number of my students in Teachers College who are mature teachers of experience. The objectives therein presented have furnished many groups with basic lists of aims which have been used in preparing new courses of study in various parts of the country. In the last two years I have also prepared, with the help of my students a list of objectives to be obtained in the teaching of demonstrative geometry. As was the case with the other two lists, this new group of objectives is not intended to be final, but tentative. We are willing to present them to the readers of The Mathematics Teacher because we hope that in this way they will be discussed and some more definite aims established in the teaching of geometry.
