To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But let me suggest that the history of mathematics is not being used as wisely as it might be in our classes. I do not think it is presented to best advantage in the form of discjorb_ nected notes in a textbook, but as outside material to be brought into class, to be the subject of a moment's inspir- ing talk by the teacher, it has unquestionable value. And so it is with the recreations of mathematics, a subject on which we have considerable available literature. Are we using this material as w...e should ? Is it feasible in our schools to establish mathematical clubs, such as Mr. New- hall describes in his" monograph in the Commission report on mathematics in the secondary schools ? I have myself ventured to suggest in a recent number of the Teachers College Record, under the title " Number Games and Number Rhymes, " a few possibilities, and to incorporate some material on the subject in my work on the Teaching of Arithmetic. Certain it is that there is an opportunity for serious work here, and that some good may be accom- plished if we do not go to the extreme of making a mere bubble out of the effort.
