content: <i>Theodore Roosevelt: Scholar, Citizen and Statesman</i> is Volume XXIII, No. 34 of The School World Literature Series, a monthly publication of popular supplemental readings. It contains a short, laudatory biography of the 26th President. It highlights his boyhood, public service as Assemblyman and Governor of New York, exploits in the military, and first Presidential Inauguration. As it was published in September 1903, it does not discuss the bulk of his presidency (1901-1909), nor his subsequent unsuccessful run as a third party candidate in the Presidential elections of 1912.
