Berry Schools

Theodore Roosevelt thanks Edward Hulse for his letter and states he is in favor of any government that addresses the needs of unfortunate people who live in the mountains of the South. Roosevelt is aware of the “great strides” by Miss Berry’s school in Georgia in training boys from the mountains and hopes similar programs will be carried on where the same problem exists in other states.

Martha Berry has heard that many petitions from various groups have been sent to Theodore Roosevelt asking him to stop on his way to Rome, Georgia, to see the Berry School. Berry tells Frank Harper that she believes this would interfere with the purpose of Roosevelt’s visit, and recommends a method of arriving at the school which she believes will be most efficient. She concedes that after Roosevelt visits the school and briefly addresses the students, a public demonstration could be arranged for Roosevelt to greet the general public. Berry asks Harper for any details he can provide about Roosevelt’s travel schedule.
