Letter from Charles A. Reese to Theodore Roosevelt
Charles A. Reese believes that every man has a duty and privilege to do all he can to raise the standard of world citizenship without being compelled to wait for the right moment. A recent illness reminded him of this. He discusses previous, yet unsuccessful, attempts to promote educational opportunities. Recently, he became interested in establishing the “International Social Union” for teaching youth. The organization would be a forerunner to an international democracy. Reese asks Theodore Roosevelt to publish his letter in The Outlook and provide editorial commentary to raise interest and funds for the cause. He includes some verses about Missouri’s hospitality.
