Excerpt from The Elements of Geometry

The present text, the outgrowth of over twenty years' expo ricuce with classes in geometry, carries the work from the simple elements necessary in the beginning class of the high school to the most advanced requirements of university prepa ration. For many years we have followed in our own classes the plan here presented, with such modifications and improve ments as experience has suggested.

It is generally conceded that much of the pupil's difficulty in demonstration arises from his failure to grasp thoroughly and keep vividly in mind as separate and distinct statements, first, the exact data of the proposition, and, second, the precise fact to be established. To remove this stumbling-block, we have stated the hypothesis and conclusion separately for every theorem and corollary demonstrated.

Through the open arrangement of the printed matter, we have sought to make each successive step stand out clearly; and by so adjusting diagrams and text that in the course of any single demonstration it is unnecessary to turn the page, we have endeavored to avoid waste of effort on the part of the pupil.
