Lawrence F. Abbott thinks it is interesting that colleges, which are so strong in their teaching of science, can be so weak in their teaching of literature and journalism. He asks if President Roosevelt knows whether he will be attending an editorial conference on March 10 or March 17, as his father, Lyman Abbott, will be out of the country for a time but wishes to return to attend the same session as Roosevelt.
