One of the most difficult problems faced by every teacher, new or experienced, is that of getting a class started at the outset of a term. This problem is even more difficult when one faces a nonacademic group of students with their all-too-frequent hostility toward mathematics. This problem manifests itself especially in the ninth grade, where many students enter the course with a dislike built up by eight years of failure in the elementary and junior high school grades. Before offering some concrete suggestions for handling the situation, it is advisable to examine these youths and determine their basic characteristics and needs.

Providing more adequately for the rapid learner in arithmetic and mathematics has always been a paramount problem faced by administrators, teachers, and others interested in the education of our youth. Many schools are making excellent provisions for the academically talented in their charge through various enrichment activities, special classes, mathematics clubs, mathematics fairs and contests, and other activities designed to bring about the optimum development of each pupil.
