It is a pleasure to commend this report to all who are concerned with mathematical education. Two weeks is all too short a period of time for delegates from a variety of countries to be able to lift their eyes from their own pressing problems, to look at those of their fellow delegates, and then to come together in an understanding of common aims and objectives in their various educational programmes. It is a tribute to the educational ties which bind us in the Commonwealth, and to all the individual delegates, that in two weeks not only was there felt to be a common purpose in the work of the Conference, but also that the groundwork of this report could be laid so firmly.
