Alfred E. Stearns, principal of Phillips Academy, reminds Secretary of War Stimson of their discussion about extending the scope of activities regarding honesty in the boys outside the classroom. The executive committee of the Head Masters Association agreed to have it as a prominent topic for the upcoming meeting and want Theodore Roosevelt to present on it. Stearns asks Stimson to suggest this to Roosevelt and encloses a list of the Association’s schools and headmasters. He gives updates on the academy’s building projects.
