American Schools

I am very conscious of the honor done to me and to the teachers of Britain by your president in asking me to address you. My qualifications for talking about American schools and educational methods are very slight indeed compared with (hose of many of you here today, so I am quite sure that it is not on those grounds that I am being asked to speak to you. Perhaps it is that someone is a little suspicious of the report that I am going to curry baek to England, and is contemplating “bumping me off” if I haven't formed satisfactory impressions of this beautiful state of yours! For my own safety, then, I will say at once that I think that Colorado is one of the most beautiful places in the world, that the people of Colorado are among the most hospitable in the world, and that the schools of Denver, which are the only Colorado schools that I know much about, are among the best in the world.
