Lyman Abbott tells President Roosevelt about his visit to Puerto Rico. He compliments the work that Governor Beekman Winthrop and his wife are doing. Abbott visited schools guided by the Assistant Superintendent, Everett W. Lord. Abbott was favorably impressed with Lord’s ideas on education for Puerto Rico. He suggests that if the current superintendent, Roland P. Falkner, is about to resign, Roosevelt check Lord’s record and consider appointing him Superintendent of Education. Winthrop, Regis Henri Post, and Lord all agree that federal aid to education in Puerto Rico is important.
