Since only a small minority of our secondary pupils elect the so-called college- preparatory mathematics, and an even smaller minority can profit from it, why must we label all other offerings in mathematics? We offer mathematics of a general consumer type to all pupils of the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth years who wish to elect it, and for as many years as they choose to pursue it, limited only by graduation from senior high school. For those who must meet certain requirements we offer special subjects such as algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry.
