In 1927 Schreier [8] proved the Nielsen-Schreier Theorem that a subgroup H of a free group F is a free group by selecting a left transversal for H in F possessing a certain cancellation property. Hall and Rado [5] call a subset T of a free group F a Schreier system in F if it possesses this cancellation property, and consider the existence of a subgroup H of F such that a given Schreier system T is a left transversal for H in F.
