Excerpt from Summary Report on the Teaching of Mathematics in Japan, 1912
Following the resolution passed at the fourth International Congress of Mathematicians held at Rome in April 1908, an International Commission was formed to make a comparative study of methods and ways in the teaching of mathematics in the secondary schools of different countries and present a collective report to the next Congress to be held at Cambridge in August 1912.
The words "secondary school" have varied meanings in different countries. This, in conjunction with other considerations regarding the working detail of the enquiry, soon lead to the conviction, that such limitation is not only undesirable but even impracticable. So it was altogether dropped. It was decided that the work of the Commission should include the whole field of mathematical instruction, from the most rudimentary education to that stage of the university education, where original research begins.
Preliminary report on the organization of the Commission and the general plan of its work, which will be hereafter referred to by the name of Rapport Preliminaire, was published in November 1908, and very soon afterwards, national Sub-Commissions were formed and the work began energetically in most of the principal countries of tho world.
