Letter from Carroll Smalley Page to Theodore Roosevelt
Senator Carroll Smalley Page informs Theodore Roosevelt he has taken up the bill to bring agricultural and industrial education to children who do not have access to college because they are sons of laborers and farmers. Germany has a system to prepare boys for apprenticeship and work starting at age fourteen. Page quotes Roosevelt in the report he encloses knowing Roosevelt is sympathetic to the project and hopes he will provide Page with encouragement by referring to the bill in The Outlook.
