Abstract

The article by Professor Douglass is in this issue is very timely and coming from a Professor of Secondary Education who is friendly toward mathematics ought to carry more weight than if it came from a teacher of that subject. The same is true of the article in this issue by Mr. Klopp. For some reason or other, the attacks on mathematics have been particularly numerous recently an done can only conjecture what the final outcome will be. Professor Douglass seems to think that it is not too late for those of us who still feel that the educational value of mathematics is important to proceed to do something about it. It is to be hoped that at the next meeting of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in Chicago, tbe members will try to discuss many of these pressing problems with each other both privately and in some of the open meetings.
