Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president and the 25th vice- president of the United States, was born on 27 October 1858 in New York City in a rich old Dutch house who had entered America in 17th Century. Roosevelt was known as T.R or Teddy. Kathleen Dalton in Theodore Roosevelt says "Tr's father, Theodore Roosevelt Senior (called Thee), gave his first son his name and admitted he loved him best of his four offspring. But with such favored love came the weight of familial expectations. The Senior Roosevelt would look to young Tr to prove he had enough stern old Dutch blood coursing in his veins to bring credit to the Roosevelt name"(2002, 15)Roosevelt was a historian, a biographer, a statesman, a hunter, a naturalist and an orator. He had two sisters and one brother. In his boyhood Sunday was as dismal a day for small Calvinistic children of Dutch descent as if they had been of Puritan or Scotch Covenanting or French Huguenot descent. Dalton states that "Theodore Senior did much more than teach his son Christian piety and communal obligation. Each day he set an example of religious ethics in action". (2002, 21) during the Revolution some of his forefathers, North and South, served respectably, but without distinction, in the army, and others rendered similar aid in the Continental Congress or in assorted local legislatures. At the age of 18, in 1876, he entered Harvard College. After finishing college, he moved to Germany and studied for a year then he entered the world of politics.
He married on his twenty second birthday with a lady called Alice Hathaway. "Theodore's marriage to Alice brought him as a full adult member into the Knickerbocker world of Patriarch Balls, dinner parties that required many evenings out......... He would have preferred to stay at his desk to prove the American navy had great marksmen than Britain in 1812" (2002, 78).
Soon after he and Alice settled in New York, Theodore's enthusiasm in politics and his political views led him to join Republican Party. Due to his qualifications he was elected as New York State Assembly from New York City (the youngest someone ever elected). He has been serving in the New York Assembly till 1884. He joined the National Guard in 1883 and he was re- elected in New York City. He established two cattle ranches, Maltese Cross and Elkhorn, near Medora, Dakota Territory. In the February of 1884, he faced a double tragedy, Roosevelt's mum Martha Bulloch Roosevelt died of typhoid fever; hours later, in the same house, his wife Alice Hathaway Lee Roosevelt also died from a continuing kidney infection. In 1884, ill heath and death of his wife, he abandoned his political work, invested fortune in his cattle ranches to stay away of the political life. He published his second book, Hunting Trips of a Ranchman, report of his life in the ranch. In 1886, he returned to his normal active life to New York and married Edith Carow Roosevelt and plunged into politics. In 1888, he published three books called; Life of Gouverneur Morris, Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail, Essays in Practical Politics. In 1889, he published two volumes of The Winning of the West. Two more volumes of his four-volume history of the frontier would follow in 1894 and 1896. In 1889, after President Harrison's election, Roosevelt was elected as a member of Civil aid Commission of which he became president. He was in charge of the commission till 1895 when he undertook the Police branch of New York City Director. In 1893-4, two other publishes came out by Roosevelt; The Wilderness Hunter and Hero Tales from American History. He left Us Civil aid Commission and became Police Commissioner of New York City. His political involvement got serious when he joined President William McKinley's supervision as assistant secretary of the navy. To come to be Lieutenant-Colonel of the 1st Us Volunteer Cavalry Regiment, he resigned of the Navy and served with first Us Volunteer Cavalry Regiment, the "Rough Riders," during Spanish-American War. Roosevelt commissioned Lieutenant Colonel, but later promoted to Colonel of the regiment before the Battle of San Juan Heights. On the morning of July 1, 1898, American soldiery in Cuba ready to make their strike on the Spanish soldiery holding San Juan Hill. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and his Rough Riders waited impatiently for the call to action. "The instant I received the order," Roosevelt remembered, "I sprang on my horse, and then my 'crowded hour' began."

"Panama declared itself independent and wanted to unblemished the Panama Canal, and opened negotiations with us. I had two courses open. I might have taken the matter under advisement and put it before the Senate, in which case we should have had a estimate of most able speeches on the subject, and they would have been going on now, and the Panama Canal would be in the dim hereafter yet. We would have had a half a century of argument afterward."

In 1904, he was reelected as president this time over the Democrat Alton B. Parker. Roosevelt also played a foremost part in extending the use of arbitration for international problems in the Western Hemisphere, terminal several arbitration treaties with European powers too.In 1904 the Interparliamentary Union requested Roosevelt to call an additional one international argument to continue the work begun at The Hague in 1899. Roosevelt responded immediately, and in the autumn of 1904 his Secretary of State invited the powers to meet at The Hague. Russia, however, refused to participate in a argument while engaged in hostilities with Japan. In June, 1905, President Roosevelt offered his good offices as mediator in the middle of Russia and Japan, request the belligerents to negotiate on the conditions of peace. In August they met at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and after some weeks of difficult negotiations complete a peace treaty in September, 1905, thus he was awarded Nobel Peace Prize for ending Russo-Japanese War; he was the first American to win Nobel Prize when he was in Europe in 1910.
In 1909, his supervision ended with the new duration of William Howard Taft's presidency. In 1910, bored of his political environment, he led a hunting expedition to Africa and then toured Europe. In 1912, Roosevelt announced candidacy for Republican nomination against President Taft in 1912 but then he bolted the quarterly Republican Party and accepted the presidency nomination by a third established party called Progressive Party. He outpolled Taft, but Wilson outpolled both Roosevelt and Taft. He has been publishing books in assorted areas since he left his position such as An Autobiography, History as Literature and Other Essays, straight through the Brazilian Wilderness, Life Histories of African Game Animals and America and the World War. President Wilson rejects Roosevelt's ask of volunteer branch for aid in France in World War I. "Roosevelt lived out his final years as a tragic hero who readied himself to be the Sir Galahad of World War I or in the presidential race in 1920, yet he was doomed to die before he found his grail"( 2002, 474). When he had refused the nomination of Republican Party, maybe he himself was seeking the forever rest. He died in sleep at 60 in 1919.
There are several factors that make Roosevelt distinct of other Us presidents, Within the Republican Party he was a reformer who sought to bring his party's conservative ideals into the 20th century. He had published 35 books which are essential and rare in its context, together with works on outdoor life, natural history, U.S. Western and political history, an autobiography and a host of other topics. Roosevelt took singular pride in foremost what he called the "strenuous life". He made the United States understand the strategic point of the Panama Canal He was the first American to be awarded the Nobel Prize, winning its Peace Prize in 1906. His progressive ideas about communal justice, democracy, and America's role as a world leader have significantly shaped Americans national character. Roosevelt steered the United States more actively into world politics. He liked to quote a favorite proverb, "Speak softly and carry a big stick. . . .". Nathan Miller has stated in Theodore Roosevelt, A Life: "The country had emerged from the Spanish-American War a world power, and Roosevelt insisted that this entailed major new responsibilities. To ensure that his country accepted such international obligations, Roosevelt was willing to stretch both the Constitution and executive power to the limit. (1992, 923).
His character can be best described as love for communal and working for the sake of population which is clearly observable in his career; attention to nature and parks, Panama Canal, Arbitration for international problem and mediation in peace treaty in the middle of Japan and Russia. He was a nationalist someone as said so: "There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only 100 percent. Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else".
It can be notifying to say that Us current supervision should look back to what their precedents believed: "The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick ideas of life".

THE LAST NAIL OF SO-CALLED SCHOOL REFORM is being struck in the coffin of traditional American education which made our nation the envy of the Free World and which produced famous scientists, engineers, mathematicians, writers, artists, musicians, doctors, etc. The reform is not new. It started in the early 1900s when John D. Rockefeller, Jr.'s Director of Charity for the Rockefeller Foundation, Frederick T. Gates, set up the Southern Education Board. In 1913 the organization was incorporated into the General Education Board. These boards set in motion "the deliberate dumbing down of America". In Frederick T.
