President Roosevelt agrees with Henry S. Pritchett about the commission on industrial education, and does not believe any more commissions should be appointed. Roosevelt feels, however, that he should not send anything to Congress, as he feels they would likely not act on a suggestion from him and it would clutter up the final days of the session.
