Abstract
IN the report, in your issue of February 27 (p. 404), of a meeting of the Mathematical Association, it is stated to have been the opinion of most speakers that the study of demonstrative geometry should be preceded by a course of work with ruler, compasses and protractor, in which simple measurements and constructions form the chief part. The note continues with the statement that such a course has been adopted in Scottish schools, and in English elementary schools and kindergartens.
