President of Massachusetts Institute of Technology Pritchett apologizes for bringing another concern to President Roosevelt’s busy agenda. However, he is concerned about the question of industrial education and the individual citizen’s economic efficiency. Emperor William II has pushed this issue as a factor in Germany’s national development. Arguing it is vital to America’s future progress, Pritchett asks President Roosevelt to help study the matter and put it in the public attention. He requests Roosevelt attend and speak at a proposed conference on forming an association for promoting industrial education.
