Abstract
WE are glad to see that the Association for the Improvement of Geometrical Teaching has been by no means idle, though no report has been issued since January, 1878, but that there has been a good deal of silent work going on in the way of sub-committee discussions upon the several syllabuses of solid geometry, of higher plane geometry, and of geometrical conics. All who know the president will heartily sympathise with him in his bereavement, and will understand how unfitted he must have been for any other work than that which his position at Harrow imperatively required of him. He has now thrown himself with much energy into the cause, and proof of his interest in the labours of the Association is manifest throughout the interesting address which is printed on pp. 12–17 of this Report. It is well known that he has long advocated an extension of the scope of the Association, and in this address he takes the opportunity of putting his views well forward.
