Letter from E. O. Vaile to Theodore Roosevelt
E. O. Vaile, chairman of the Illinois State Teachers’ Association Office of the Standing Committee on Simplified Spelling, sends Theodore Roosevelt a letter he intends to disseminate to prominent educators, and hopes Roosevelt will give a few words to assist him. The letter reflects on the enclosed report by the Department of Superintendence and the contention around the recent National Education Association approval of a key alphabet. Vaile solicits positive feedback to combat the “several circulars filled with mis-statements and false arguments” put out by “certain dictionary-publishing interests.”
