<jats:p>This subject was suggested some weeks ago, at a meeting of the Council of this Association, as one in which both school and college teachers are likely to be interested. There is a certain advantage in directing the attention occasionally to facts with which all are perfectly familiar, particularly if those same facts involve problems which are never completely solved, but which must be faced anew with each new set of students that enters our classrooms. This is my reason for undertaking today to open a discussion of a subject with which all of us may well be equally familiar. I am further encouraged by a remark made last fall by Professor (now Major) Julian Coolidge, who told an audience that he was addressing on a rather elementary subject, that while he had often been bored by too difficult mathematiral discussions, he had never yet been bored by too easy ones, a sentiment in which every hearer probably concurred.</jats:p>
