Synopsis

Excerpt from Geometric Exercises for Algebraic Solution: Second Year Mathematics for Secondary Schools

The reasons against the plan in common vogue in secondary schools of breaking the continuity of algebra by dropping it for a whole year after barely starting it, are numerous and strong. Perhaps the only argument that need be cited here is that this procedure creates - and that, too, gratuitously - an educational gap, and that the modern science of education is fundamentally hostile to gaps. Everywhere today interest and continuity in educational procedure are insisted upon. The hiatus here is no less glaring than that between the grades and the first high-school year. The fact that the former is less talked about than the now classical gap means only that fewer students of education are interesting themselves in the virtues of mathematical than of general education.
