Extract

1. The title of my paper is, perhaps, a little misleading. The word Elementary is intended to apply to the word Mathematics, not to the word School, and I will keep strictly to Elementary Mathematics.

The treatment of Geometry in feigned independence of numerical measurement was theoretically abandoned as soon as the supremacy of Euclid collapsed under the onslaught of Professor Perry in the year 1901, and gradually, largely through the efforts of a few outstanding educationists, the teaching of School Geometry in this country has undergone a very remarkable change.

* As AE may be drawn in either of two directions, it appears that, in general, the problem admits of two solutions. If the word “successively” be omitted, the number of solutions is, in general, increased to six.
