On Two fragments of Geometrical Treatises Found in Worcester Cathedral Library
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 November 2016
Extract
I believe I am the only surviving original-member of that A.I.G.T., to which the President bas referred (The Association for the Improvement of Geometrical Teaching). This Association arose out of a book which I wrote at Dr. Temple’s (the late Archbishop of Canterbury’s) suggestion, after the Commission of Inquiry into Secondary Education (the Endowed Schools Commission), that some new method, simpler than Euclid, should be brought into our geometrical teaching. It was very desirable that there should not be competition between private individual writers of text-books competing for public approval and public use, and so we formed the Association in order to unify the teaching on the new lines.
