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.

Lip Reading

Eric Friedland was born in New York City in 1941. Soon after birth it was found he had defective hearing and his mother faced hardship as his father left home six months later. His mother moved to Boston to be near relatives. She made the decision that Eric would not learn sign language as she said this would destine him to move largely among deaf people. Instead he became proficient in lip reading. Initially he did go to a school for the hearing impaired, but his life took off when he moved to Hebrew Teachers College in Boston. Here was founded his deep and wide Jewish knowledge, as all lessons were taught in Hebrew. He graduated from Brookline High School in 1957 and from Boston University in 1960.
