In this account of the incorporation of a new subject into the school curriculum I shall assume that it is agreed that the teaching of statistics in schools is desirable. This aspect of the subject has already been fully siscussed at previous meetings of this Association, and in other places. I am one, and I hope there are others present in the audience, who believes not only that it is desirable to teach statistics in schools, but also that far more is gained than is lost by its introduction. In this paper I therefore present the story of one attempt to put into practise what has been preached so long.
