When Dick Fiddler, a senior at Lake Washington High School, was named one of the 40 winners in the National Science Talent Search no one was more pleased—or less surprised—than Jim McKeehan, Dick's mathematics teacher. And McKeehan was justly proud: concurrent with the announcement came a letter of congratulation from the Science Clubs of America stating that Dick had listed his teacher as “the one person most influential in the development of my career.”

A vigorous academic challenge extending beyond the usual high school curriculum is the purpose of an လhonors programဝ at Lake Washington High School in Kirkland, Washington. The program, now on an experimental basis, takes students of exceptional academic promise through mathematics, logic, science, composition, history, literature, and humanistic courses that provide intellectual stimulation not common in the public schools. The student body and faculty have given the program whole-hearted approval and public reaction so far bas been highly favorable.

High School Library

We have repeatedly had letters from teachers of mathematics from various parts of the country who write somewhat as follows: “Since the high school library has now ordered The Mathematics Teacher, I wish to discontinue my subscription.” Now we realize that the main purpose of the magazine will be served if it is read and appreciated by teachers of mathematics whether they pay for membership in the National Council or not. However, just imagine what would happen to The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics if we all took that attitude. The official journal would have to close up its business and what little money the Council is able to save from subscriptions and the sale of yearbooks would no longer be available. This would mean that our annual meetings would cease and that we could no longer help to subsidize such important studies as the one that is now being made by The National Arithmetic Committee of which Professor R. L. Morton of Ohio University is Chairman. This Committee is entirely financed by the National Council. Moreover, the National Council has been largely responsible for starting the Joint Cmmnission of the Mathematical A ssociation of America and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics on “The Place of Mathematics in Secondary Education.” The report of this Commission will constitute the Fourteenth Yearbook of the National Council in 1939.

The federal art programs of the New Deal produced public art in quantities not seen before or since. Historians have studied many aspects of the New Deal's art programs, but few have considered the long-term history of works produced by them. New Deal art programs produced large numbers of public murals—so many that such murals are often thought of as the typical form of New Deal art. They thus provide readily available examples of the long-term experience of New Deal art. San Francisco has a particularly rich collection of these murals. Some of them have been well cared for over the past eight decades, but public officials have proved negligent stewards—and occasionally destructive stewards—of others. Some of San Francisco's murals were considered so controversial at the time they were created that they were modified or even destroyed. Others became controversial later, with calls for modification or destruction. Some of the latter were covered, some were vandalized, and some have deteriorated. Most of the damaged murals have been restored, sometimes more than once. This article looks at the city's New Deal murals at Coit Tower, the Mothers Building at the Zoo, the Beach Chalet, the University of California San Francisco, the Alemany Health Center, Treasure Island/City College, and Rincon Annex/Center, with special attention to the George Washington High School murals that have recently been highly controversial. Controversies over the murals at Coit Tower, Rincon Annex, and George Washington High School also reveal significant changes in the role of the city's political and civic leadership with regard to public art.

Historical Moment

We are in an interesting historical moment in mathematics teacher education. On the one and, there is greater realization within our field of the connections between systems of power and mathematics (O'Neil, 2016). We are starting to acknowledge how mathematics education can be viewed as dehumanizing for both students and teachers as well as what might constitute rehumanizing practices (Gutiérrez, in press). Our professional organizations are calling for teachers to move beyond simplistic notions of equity to understand these power dimensions and challenge the system on behalf of (and in community with) Black,1 Indigenous,2 and Latinx3 students in particular

Discipline in class is essential. Without it the educational processes and teachings are difficult. In this manner curricula goals are almost impossible to achieve. There are and there always will be some kind of conflicts between teachers and students, but they should not evolve to become a problem. Teachers (especially elderly teachers) often express pessimism of contemporary students. They say that today's students have less knowledge, they do misbehave more often than previous generations. A study among students was conducted. It was trying to determine the rate of discipline in schools in Celje to see if these statements are true. The questionnaire to students of one primary and one high school in Celje, Slovenia were distributed. The answers from 234 students were received. On the one hand, it was found out that senior high school students have the worst level of discipline of all the grades tested. They themselves assess their class atmosphere as less disciplined. They report that teachers use a lot of time to calm the class down. All this is probably a factor in lower average grade that the senior high school students have. On the other hand, it was found out that teachers do not react to the disturbance or they are trying to be repressive. These are not the correct ways of dealing with discipline issues. Therefore, there are some recommended ways how teachers should react. Keywords: discipline in class, primary school, contemporary student, elderly teachers.

<p class="apa">Some Factor’s That Affecting The Mathematic Teacher Performance For Junior High School In Medan. This research will examine the effect of direct and indirect of the Organizational Knowledge towards the achievement motivation, decision making, organizational commitment, the performance of mathematics teacher. The research method is a method of surveying the number of respondents as many as 102 teachers of mathematics taken by stratified proportional random sampling. The research found there is a direct influence of organizational knowledge on achievement motivation, decision making, organizational commitment and the performance of math teacher respectively 16.3%, 13.1%, 12.2% and 4.54%. Achievement motivation, decision making, and organizational commitment have directly effects on the performance of mathematics teacher. The magnitude of changes in performance that can directly determine organizational knowledge, achievement motivation, decision-making and organizational commitment respectively are 10.24%, 12.32%, 3.42% and 2.92%. To teachers of mathematics, in order to improve the understanding of the knowledge of the organization, increase achievement motivation through desire superior achievement and improvement of organizational commitment. For heads and school inspectors, need to improve clinical supervision and foster good communication increases the openness and good cooperation with teachers of mathematics, and for the head of the city education field, is expected to give a briefing and training for teachers, race through the efforts competitions drafting paper development learning mathematics.</p>
