Extract

In the Rules of this Association, there is a declaration that its object shall be

to effect improvements in the teaching of Elementary Mathematics and the applications of Elementary Mathematics.

Having regard to such a policy in action, having regard also to the professional duties of what probably is the majority of the members, I must appeal for a measure of your indulgence when my address, in retiring from office as your President, is devoted to some reflections concerning the present range of elementary Applied Mathematics.
