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.

The results from a year-long study to investigate the technical features of easyCBM mathematics screening measures for first grade are presented. Measures were designed based on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Curriculum Focal Point standards, which for Grade 1 include (a) Number and Operations and Algebra, (b) Number and Operations, and (c) Geometry (2006). A sample of 145 students was assessed at the beginning, middle, and end of the school year. Reliability of the measures was adequate, and concurrent and predictive validity results—with the TerraNova 3—were moderate. Receiver operating curve analyses, based on mathematics difficulty below the 25th and 40th percentile, indicated adequate classification accuracy. We examine results from the study in the context of linking assessment to instructional decision making.

I have read, with ever increasing incredulity, an article in the October (1941) issue of The Mathematics Teacher entitled “A Functional Revision of Plane Geometry” by P. H. Nygaard. Mr. Nygaard's article is such a glaring example of the type of discussion which finds its way into print today to the mortal harm of sound instruction in mathematics that I can not let it pass unchallenged. We have here at Winthrop a student chapter of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics into the hands of whose members there comes each month during the school year a copy of The Mathematics Teacher. Since I am the faculty sponsor of this group I can for them correct the enors in Mr. Nygaard's essay. The effect of this correction is, however, limited by the range of my voice; therefore, I hope that my reply may have full publicity in The Mathematics Teacher to the end that I may reach the audience afforded to Mr. Nygaard.

During most of its existence the Council has depended upon a group of state representatives. These persons are something like dollar-a-year people, except that they do not even get the dollar. About all the recognition they get is to have their names printed once each year in The Mathematics Teacher. The list of representatives and their addresses for the present school year is given below and on the following page.

Another school year is well on its way. Vacation clays, with their many pleasant memories, have receded into the past—replaced by days and weeks of work and initial achievement. Plans for your new year are doubtless already being materialized and promise much in educational service through cooperative endeavor with those around you. National Council gives you its best wishes for the most successful and satisfying year in your professional experience.

Below is the list of state representatives of the Council for the school year 1957-58. The activity of the state representatives, working with the Committee on Membership, was an important factor in our increase of 2400 in number of members and subscribers during the 1956-57 school year. The indications at this point of the present school year are that we shall have another increase equal to, or greater than, this. We are much indebted to the state representatives for their support.
