Abstract
(1) MANY attempts are now being made to formulate a system of geometry suitable to the immature minds of schoolboys, which will on one hand develop their reasoning faculties by some kind of logical training, and on the other by a sufficiency of practical work clarify their ideas as to the concepts which form the basis of the subject.
