In the course of time the study of geometry developed from `school geometry´, where compass and straight edge were used to construct images of the pictorial forms we have in mind while retaining in the back of our heads the conviction that the results put to paper are only rough representations of the idealised, to the development of axiomatic systems related to the aforesaid. -

The following chapter is a selected review of research in mathematics education for the years 1915-1931. Investigations are categorized into one of nine areas and a 132-entry bibliography is included. The third chapter is devoted to a wide-ranging discussion of intuitive geometry. Chapter 4 suggests curriculum considerations for grades 7-12 with differentiation for varying ability levels. The next chapter presents the mathematics studied in German schools along with the methods, apparatus, and models used. Organization of a unit of instructioa is the topic of the last chapter, and a detailed example is given using direct linear variation as the subject.

Amplissima et pulcherrima scientia figurarum. At quam est inepte sortita nomen Geometrise ! —NicoD. Frischlinus, Dialog. I. Perspectivse methodus, qua nee inter inventas nee inter inventu possibiles ulla compendiosior esse videtur . —B. Pascal, Lit. ad Acad. Paris., 1654. Da veniam scriptis, quorum non gloria nobis Causa, sed utilitas ofiBciumque fuit.—OviD, e.r Pont., iii. 9. 55. This book is not intended for those whose high mission it is to advance the progress of science ; they would find in it nothing new, neither as regards principles, nor as regards methods. The propositions are all old ; in fact, not a few of them owe their origin to mathematicians of the most remote antiquity. They may be traced back to Euclid (285 B.C.), to Apollonius of Perga (247 B.C.), to Pappus of Alexandria (4th century after Christ); to Desargues of Lyons (1593-1662); to Pascal (1623-1662) ; to De la Hire (1640-1718); to Newton (1642-1 727) ; to Maclaurin (1698-1746); to J.
