Abstract

Mathematics in competition with other school subjects.—Up to the year 1910 the popularity of mathematics in the high schools of this country was on the increase. Not only was the number of pupils taking mathematics growing but, there was also a constant gain in the percentage of pupils in mathematics. In 1910 more than half of the pupils took algebra and about one-third took plane geometry. The increase took place in the face of a great deal of adverse criticism which often amounted to attacks on the subject.
