CLEVELAND BOARD OF EDUCATION

June 29, 1940

fo: MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL BASKETBALL COMMITTEE
Gentlemen:

Under other cover I am mailing you two exhibits. One is a copy of
fhe Journal of School Health, Vol. X, No. 5, May 1940, directing your
attention to the editorial beginning at the bottom of Page 165,

Following the reading of this editorial I wrote to Dr. Keene and,
after some correspondence, received from him a copy of the paper
which he delivered in regard to the subject of the editorial. This
paper constitutes the second exhibit sent you.

At your convenience, will you kindly take the time to read both the
editorial and Dr. Keene's paper. While they represent the thinking

of one man only, still this one man, Charles H. Keene, M.D., is, I
believe, qualified and fair-minded. Were it not for these reasons,

I would not be taking up your time by asking you to read this material.

Prior to sending the material to you, I wrote to Dr. Keene and asked
permission to send the material out, indicating that he might get ‘some
correspondence from committee members in regard to it. Dr. Keene

replied that this was all right with him, but from June 15 to
September 1, he would be without stenographic assistance and, there-
fore, could not answer any great. volume of eye. until after
September ist,

After you hete\ gone over this ubtertia, ttsn ih in one
write to Dr. Keene, I should be glad to have you forward me a copy of
your letter to hin, Oe OR et ee ee es
the situation,

og personal regards, and trusting you have a good summer season,
am

sisesesiy yours
