Extract

All school teachers of the world who are interested in the development of the teaching of mathematics in general and of the teaching of geometry in particular know the three stages A, B, c which are prescribed for the teachers of geometry in England. The father of this splendid idea is W C. Fletcher, formerly Chief Inspector of the Board of Education in London. He issued in March 1909, as Circular 711, a famous regulation: Teaching of Geometry and Graphic Algebra in Secondary Schools.
