1. The article by Mrs. Linfoot on the “Teaching of Elementary Inequalities” published in the issue of the Mathematical Gazette for July, 1940, raises a matter of considerable interest and importance. It is unhappily the case that the elementary treatment of inequalities remains a weak point in English mathematical teaching. While no Higher School Certificate examination paper in Algebra would be considered complete without the inclusion of questions on identities and equations, yet direct questions on inequalities and in equations occur comparatively rarely and, indeed, even when such questions are included in University Entrance Scholarship examinations, they tend to be ignored by the majority of candidates.

The “Report of the Commission on Examinations in Mathematics” to the College Entrance Examination Board appearing on pages 154–166 of this issue of The Mathematics Teacher will be of particular interest to all teachers of secondary school mathematics.

It will be agreed, I think, that the reading of Virgil is an indispensable part of the school Latin course, especially for the Sixth Form. Assuming that Virgil will continue to be set for the School Certificate Examination, I suggest that the following ideas are feasible. At all events they are the result of experience gained in Fifth and Sixth Form work.
