A chapter in The Teaching of Geometry at the Pre-College Level, 1971, pp 10-11 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Geometry has evolved as an important means of understanding and organizing spatial phenomena. It is widely and multifariously applied in everyday life, whether in a highly mathematized form or not. Geometrical concepts, including their aesthetic aspects, have pervaded and elucidated other fields of mathematics. The richness of geometry, which lies in the wide variety of its concepts and problems, should be carefully exploited to give the student an anticipation of other branches of mathematics, which have either developed as powerful tools to study space (such as linear algebra, group theory) or as answers to questions that could be posed simply in geometric terms, but which could not be solved, or solved simply, within the framework of geometry (such as topology, measure theory).
