John Roscoe Clark joined the Teachers College faculty in 1918. Clark served as the principal of the Horace Mann Lincoln School and as the Chairman of TC's Department of Mathematics Education. He and Mrs. Clark were the authors of widely used textbooks for elementary and middle school students and teachers. John Roscoe Clark was appointed the Honorary President of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in 1970 and served in that position until his death in 1986.

This is a self-teaching course. The prerequisite for this course is Plane Geometry: Course One by John R. Clark and Roland R. Smith.
Course Two covers Constructions, Locus, Ratio and Proportion, Polygons, and Geometry in Aeronautics.
Space is provided in the back of the book for writing and drawing. Both blank paper and grid paper can be found there.
The authors suggest that proving a geometrical proposition is comparable to climbing a tower. The steps leading to the first platform are labeled "undefined terms." From there the steps to the top of the tower are "postulates," "axioms," "defined terms," and "theorems."
In my opinion, this self-teaching 1941 text for teaching plane geometry is a good as, perhaps even superior to, the programmed learning texts that followed the behavioral model of "frames" proposed by B. F. Skinner in the 1950s and '60s.… (más)

This is a self-teaching course. Along with this book, the student needs three instruments: a compass, a straightedge, and a protractor. There are several blank pages at the back of the book for writing and drawing.
The authors promise that "by answering the questions and doing the exercises that are suggested, you can learn geometry just as well and just as easily as it is learned in a classroom."
