Acres made easy? Or perhaps that each measurement system started off with a simple idea, and other measurements were derived from there . . . often in a decimal framework. Ancient Egypt and Flinders Petrie (metrologist, large article in the 1916? Encyclopedia on weights and measures) through Phoenicia to the Northern German tribes with the same system.
Good read for the younger mind; as it does make the rest of surveying and math courses easier.
