Smith, David Eugene; Goldziher, Charles – United States Bureau of Education, Department of the Interior, 1912
Among teachers of mathematics throughout the world there has recently been manifested a notable increase of interest in all educational work. This interest is due in part to the present general agitation in every educational line, in part to the influence of such related departments as physics, in part to the increased demands of industry, and in…
