Simpson.

This course presupposes a knowledge of the subject matter of elementary geometry,

but it seeks to establish principles for the organization of that knowledge, for
the selection of illustrative material, and for the attack upon original exercises.

The recommendations of the National Committee on Mathematical Requirements
are examined and the social significance of mathematics as a tool of exact science
and as a norm of clear thinking is stressed. Class assignments are made with reference
to their suggestiveness in pointing out types of pupil assignments.
