Letter from Alfred Mosely to Theodore Roosevelt

Alfred Mosely is glad to hear that Theodore Roosevelt’s views on industrial education are the same as his own. He suggests that Roosevelt’s secretary get in touch with the Board of Education to arrange a time for Roosevelt to present a picture to them, and asks if Roosevelt would be willing to offer a brief address at the occasion. The United States must avoid falling into the pitfall of too much unskilled labor that England has stumbled into.

Alfred Mosely would like Theodore Roosevelt to present a John Charles Dollman painting to the New York Board of Education on his behalf. The picture depicts the social inequality of Great Britain.
