Winona de Clyver is hopeful that Theodore Roosevelt will assist her in raising money, perhaps through the staging of a play, to raise money to allow Irish children to be taught Irish in schools. The English government has agreed to allow this and it is already being done in many schools. She also discusses at length efforts to get Irish farmers to join co-operatives to improve their financial position.
