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.

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.

General Theme

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.

Mathematics Educators

Most mathematics educators are involved in the practice of teacher education at some level. Indeed, the field of mathematics education is predicated on the assumption that someone has to be educated to teach mathematics in our schools. This raises the question of what it means to be educated in o rder to become a teacher of mathematics. What kinds of knowledge do teachers need to become effective teachers of mathematics? What sorts of experiences are needed for teachers to acquire this knowledge? A fundamental question for mathematics teacher educators is how the field of teacher education can be conceptualized so that programs and activities can be created to assist in the acquisition of this knowledge. Given the high visibility of standards developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) (NCTM, 1988, 1991, in press), a question of interest to many is, What does it take to develop teachers who can move the field toward realizing these standards?

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.

As secretary of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, I officially announce the annual election of certain officers of the National Council, said election to take place at Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Friday, February 22, 1935. Article III Section 7, of the by-laws states: “At least two months before the date of the annual meeting, all members shall be given the opportunity through announcement in the official journal to suggest by mail for the guidance of the directors a candidate for each elective office for the ensuing year. At least one month before the annual meeting the secretary of the board of directors shall send to each member an official ballot giving the names of two candidates for each office to be filled. These candidates shall be selected by a nominating committee of the board of which the secretary shall be chairman. The election shall be by mail or in person and shall close on the date of the annual meeting.”

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.

Organized groups of teachers of mathematics or of individuals preparing to become teachers of mathematics may petition the NCTM Board of Directors to become affiliated with the Council. Affiliated Groups are entitled to send a delegate to the delegate Assembly, which is held each year in conjunction with the NCTM Annual Meeting. The Assembly is a highly respected and influential recommending body of the Council that discusses and votes on resolutions concerning matters pertinent to mathematics education.

Speak Up

Editorial board members of the MTE journal join the presidents of the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE) and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) (the two organizations that jointly publish our journal) in expressing concern at the recent attacks on mathematics education scholars whose research does not conform with and challenges dominant perspectives in mathematics education. We are compelled to speak up because these attacks undermine the principles of academic freedom and our field's capacity to grow a trusted knowledge base.
