Plane Geometry (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from Plane Geometry The stone-millis geometry, published in 1910, was a pioneer in its field, being the first of the series of American textbooks on geometry which of recent years have attempted in various ways to modernize the teaching of the subject. It marked, in fact, a wide departure from the traditional Greek geometry, after which textbooks for secondary schools had for generations been pat terned. From the start, the text met with remarkable success. The educational ideals which it embodied are now national ideals, and are summarized in the report OF the national committee OF fifteen on the teaching of geometry.
