This issue is devoted mostly to a consideration of Mathematics in a Defense Program. As stated elsewhere in this issue the program of the recent annual meeting of the National Council of Teachers of mathematics at Atlantic City, N. J. was built around this general theme. Some of the material presented at that meeting is included in this issue as well as other material. More material on that general theme or some of the detailed aspects will appear in later issues of THE MATHEMATICS TEACHER.

These lines arc written just after the page proof for the official program of the Thirty-First Annual Meeting of The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, held last month in Atlantic City, was returned to the printer. The members of our largest Affiliated Group, the Association of Mathematics Teachers of New Jersey, and the officers of the National Council worked hard to make the 1953 annual meeting the “biggest and best”, and more importantly, a meeting of great value to those who attended and to our cause which is that of the improvement of mathematics education at all levels of instruction. Reports on the annual meeting will appear in fall numbers of The Mathematics Teacher.

The program of the Thirty-First. Annual Meeting of The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics to he held at the Ambassador Hotel in Atlantic City, April 8, 9, 10 and 11, 1953 was published in The Mathematics Teacher last month. One hundred forty persons will have a part on the program, and in addition nearly 150 people are serving on the committees on local arrangements. Program participants come from 33 states. The fact that three persons from California and one from the state of Washington are willing to travel 3000 miles to make their direct contributions to the improvement of mathematics education is testimony to the importance of our programs and the worth that is attached to participation in them by teachers everywhere.

Dr. John H. Minnick was elected President of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics at the annual meeting at Atlantic City. Dr. Minnick has been unusually active in secondary school mathematics. He is now engaged in training high school teachers in mathematics in the University of Pennsylvania. Many readers will recall Dr. Minnick’s Tests of Abilities in Geometry, a scientific monograph on the nature of the abilities which are involved in proving a proposition in geometry.

There are Some things concerning the National Council that are especially obvious and that a great many people know about, such as the annual meeting and The Mathematics Teacher. There are some other types of the Council's activities that also deserve mention and about which I think you will be glad to hear.

These problems were selected for publication at the “Best Problems Contest” session sponsored by the Editorial Panel of the Mathematics Teacher at the 6lst Annual Meeting of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in Detroit. Readers are encouraged to submit for review three copies of a novel problem that would interest students in grades 7-12.
