A Meeting was held on 4th August. The principal business was connected with the main-school mathematical syllabus, and in particular the new alternative scheme of the Cambridge Local Syndicate. The following points were made:

A fixed sequence is to be deprecated even if it facilitates the task of the examiner; but it was urged against this that the selection of theorems in the Cambridge syllabus, and their arrangement, actually made things easier for the pupil and only restricted the teacher in the area group. It was important to decide whether a formal exposition of geometrical arguments was desirable or not. If it was, it could be practised and tested by a small number of key-theorems such as those suggested by the Syndicate.
