More from Teddy Roosevelt
Each of these children represents either a potential addition to the productive capacity and the enlightened citizenship of the nation, or, if allowed to suffer from neglect, a potential addition to the destructive forces of the community.
The American people are to be heartily congratulated on everything of importance that has been done in connection with the building of the Panama Canal.
The interests of the nation are involved in the welfare of this army of children no less than in our great material affairs.
I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the power in me vested... do proclaim that the said lands are hereby added to the Apache National Forest.
