Too early introduction of the
methods of algebraic analysis to
the exclusion of the older, more

loss of interest in mathematics by
many pupils who, to be sure,
would never in any event have
become notable mathematician,
but who because of their early
disgust and encouragement do not
obtain even that moderate amount
of mathematical knowledge which
is required to follow intell1gently
the progress of modern science.
