“To the school boys of greater New York”
George Wood Wingate, President of the Public School Athletic League, writes an open letter to boys across New York, urging them that, “You cannot expect success in life however well you may be educated, unless you have got a sound body.” Wingate recounts the successes of the league in holding hundreds of tournaments and games throughout the city. The articles were enclosed in a letter from Jacob Riis to Theodore Roosevelt, who supports the Public School Athletic League.
