Abstract
AS the result of an educational conference, convened at Vienna in 1908, changes of considerable importance have been made in the curriculum of the secondary schools of Austria. At the instance of the Board of Education, the mathematical syllabus issued in 1909 for the Austrian Gymnasien has been translated into English, and it deserves the thoughtful consideration of all those who are interested in the efficiency of our own educational system. It comes at an opportune moment and forms a useful contribution to all the discussions and experimental investigations of the last few years, which should provide a sound foundation for the. work of the International Commission on Mathematical Teaching, which will report to the congress at Cambridge in 1912. We do not propose to examine this pamphlet in detail, but it may be useful to note some of its salient features.
