Abstract

The Special Reviewing Committee, with Mr. Leo J. Brueckner as Chairman, says in a statement in the Appendix of the Twenty-ninth Yearbook that: "Arithmetic should make a vital contribution to the intelligent consideration of various aspects of business, consumption, production, government, and social relationships which lend themselves to quantitative study and analysis. The real meaning of profit and loss, the responsibilities and difficulties of the retailer and the wholesaler, the relationships of home and business establishments are part of the field of arithmetic..... In no subject is there the opportunity to teach the pupils the considerations that should underlie the investing and saving of money, the ways of sending money in safety from one place to another, convenient ways of carrying money, and many other problems dealing with the quantitative aspects of social relationships."
