The Purpose and The Content of a Course of Mathematics for Technical and Manual Training High Schools

In the treatment of this subject I shall confine myself to those schools only that require a grammar school diploma, or its equivalent, for admission, that have a four year’s course, and that are manual training or technical high schools as distinct from the “trade” school. I have confined my investigation, mainly, to public high schools, for with the institutions supported by the public the problem is more vital, and demands the attention of the public school teacher to a far greater extent than that of private institutions.
