From the Editorial Panel
In 1908, in the very first issue of a new journal called The Mathematics Teacher, then editor W. H. Metzler wrote a lead piece called, “Where Shall We Place the Emphasis?” Metzler wrote, “In teaching any subject we must know what it is good for, what powers and abilities it helps to develop. We will then know at what to aim and where to place the emphasis. I am inclined to think that most teachers believe they should teach principles rather than facts, that they should aim at mental power rather than knowledge of details” (p. 2).
