Letter from Frank Wayland Higgins to Theodore Roosevelt
Lieutenant Governor Higgins provides an explanation of the current legislative battle regarding schools in New York. He concludes that the basic disagreement about the relative powers of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State Board of Regents has been turned into a religious issue between Protestants and Catholics. Higgins recommends that President Roosevelt avoid involvement in the issue.
