Abstract

When I was invited to appear before this Society, I accepted with pleasure, but more or less on the spur of the moment. Later, upon giving the matter more serious consideration, I realized that I had taken on more of an assignment than was apparent at first glance. The reasons for this are simple; here I am appearing before a distinguished group of mathematicians and educators and I profess to be neither a professional mathematician nor an educator in the sense that the name implies. Furthermore, a schedule of sixteen hours per day allows little time to prepare a polished paper. Therefore, this morning I do not propose to expound any new mathematical theories or burden you with my ideas of the proper methods to be used in educating your students. The latter is your job and I feel that, in general, it is being accomplished in a splendid manner.
