The author was first challenged by Dr, Fawcett in 1947, when in his first graduate course, Education 687, he was challenged to read more than twenty basic works in mathematics education. From that day to the present, he has known and valued greatly the ready enthusiasm and wise counsel of this master teacher. It is with deep gratitude that the author recognizes the cooperation and encouragement of his wife, Laura, during the preparation of this study. Much of the inconvenience resulting from moving the family several times, for graduate work; and most of the extra effort at home caused by periods of the w riter’s absence, has been borne by her. And to Lenora and Margaret, (or as they would have it, Lee and Meg), the author expresses thanks for their loyalty, during what must have seemed to be most of their lives.
