Dr. M. K. Fort, Jr., Evaluates
Local Instruction in Mathematics
Dr. M. K. Fort, Jr., head of
the Mathematics Department at
the University of Georgia,
spent Monday, May 8, in New

tary school math classes and
advising revisions in junior and
senior high school mathema
tics.
During the morning Dr. Fort
visited the Ficquet and Mans
field schools. At the Ficquett
School he was joined by Miss
Louise Reeves and Principal
G. B. Hutchinson in observing
Mrs. W. A. Carlton introduce
several concepts from “contem
portary mathematics” to two
sections of the eighth grade.
Methods and materials used
in teaching arithmetic in grades
1-6 at Mansfield School were
demonstrated for Dr. Fort as
he visited briefly with classes
taught by Miss Edith Johnson,
Mrs. L. L. Harwell, Mrs. Os
car Spears, and Mrs. J. A.
Prosser. In the seventh grade
Dr. Fort joined in the discussion
of measurements (as presented
in Part 2 of Vol 1 of School
Mathematics Study Group
“Mathematics for the Junior
High School”) under the di
rection of W. Harvey Kitchens,
teaching principal.
“Modern Mathematics” and
“Sets in Mathematics” were the
major topics of conversation
when Superintendent Richard
son, G. B. Hutchinson, Miss
Clara Mae Hays, and Miss
Reeves joined Dr. Fort for
lunch in the Ficquet School
cafeteria.
After lunch Dr. Fort, Miss
Hays, and Miss Reeves spent a
delightful half hour with Mrs.
Edgar Wood’s section of t h e
second grade while they ex
plored some notions of “Sets
and Numbers” from material
prepared by Dr. Patrick Sup
pes. Stanford University, Stan
ford, California. This material
was recommended j|O Mrs.
Wood at the Gec.gia Math
Council conference by Dr. Mary
Tulock. mathematics specialist,
U. S. Office of Education.
The remainder of the after
noon was devoted by Dr. Fort
to an evaluation of the Newton

Dr. Fort spoke of the cooper
ative efforts of the math de
partments at the University of
Georgia, Tech, and Emory Uni
versity to offer strong pro
grams in modern mathematics.
He commended the work to
ward this goal which he found
already in progress in the lo
cal schools and strongly recom
mended that SMSG mathema
tics be offered in grades 8,9,
and 10 during the 1961 - 62
term.
Byway of summarizing his
evaluation of mathematics in
struction in the Newton County
Schools, Dr. Fort said, “I am
very pleased with the approach
to mathematics which is being
undertaken in the schools in
Newton County. The strongest
feature of your program for
improvement is your in-service
education program. This is an
ideal way to up-grade your
mathematics program. The
teachers who participate in this
two- hour study session each
week are to be highly com
mended.
“We shall look forward, in
the near future, to receive stu
dents at the University of
Georgia who have had the type
program in mathematics which
you have begun this year in
the seventh grades of your
system.”
