D., Sept. 27.—()— Organization of a Roosevelt club in many schools of the state may be- come a reality as the result of a | suggestion contained in the news- letter issued by the extension de- partment of North Dakota univer- sity which soon will be ready for distribution. The entire issue is devoted to com- ment and anecdotes on the life of Roosevelt, who is described as North| Dakota’s greatest citizen, this state claiming him by reason of his resi- dence in the western part of the ate, in the late eighties. “The formation of these clubs n@d not duplicate nor add ‘work to the already overburdened ‘ curriculum,” the letter states, “Most schools have | literary societies every other Friday afternoon. There is no reason why these could not be regular Roosevelt clubs. Great impetus and inspira- tion would come from being a part of @ great host of numbers in this organization and from its high mo- tive.” The object of these clubs would be to promote the qualities of citizenship for which Roosevelt was noted. Through an arrangement with the Greater North Dakota Association the extension department nding out a large number of co} of the let- ter to persons and organizations who othe: would not receive them becau of lack of funda, Suggest p rams te The letter contains a suggested program for use in schools on. the occasion of the 68th anniversary of Roosevelt's birth on October to- gether with a fund of information relating to Roosevelt's. life in North Dakota, It also contains an excerpt from the first speech ~~~ made by Roosevelt west of the Mississi| river, delivered at Dickinson on July 4, 1886, The excerpt was furnished by Dr. V.
