Mr. Alfred. E. Steams, Principal, Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts. Dear Sir: As Mrs. John L. Mitchell is traveling abroad, with her son, your letter of July 2nd. addressed to Meadowmere, their country home, has not received attention until now, as my wife and myself have just been out there over Sunday. I might incidentally state that I am a son- in-law of Mrs. Mitchell. I know that it is the intention of John Mitchell to enter Phillips this coming Fall; although I am not sufficiently conversant with the matter to fill out his application or give you any detailed information as to the class which he desires to enter nor the course which he will pursue. Mrs. Mitchell and her son sail from Liverpool on September 7th and will reach Boston probably about September 15th. It is her intention to at once take John to Andover, so that he should reach there in advance of your opening session. Yours very truly, Arthur Young Dr. Alfred E.

Some gain has been made during the last half the term, though if I understand John’s instructors correctly, this has not been pronounced during the past few weeks. The situation does not seem to be sufficiently improved to justify us in withdrawing the boy’s probation but we shall permit him to return next term under restrictions, and in the hope that he will put forth even greater efforts to make good past deficiencies and to maintain a standing that will prove satisfactory to all concerned. I am inclined to believe that the advice and suggestions he will receive from you during the holidays will prove a great factor in bringing about this result. With kind personal regards and sincerest good wishes for the holiday season, believe me, Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Harriet D.

Young Dear Mrs. Young: Your letter relating to your brother’s standing has just been received. I do not know what more any of us can do beyond continuing our admonitions, warnings and words of encouragement and continuing our prayer but the boy may soon show signs of developing maturity and wisdom. In spite of his size and appearance, John is still a good deal of child and this seems to be at the bottom of all his troubles. It is hard to look at him and believe this period of extreme youth xx can go on such longer. I am hopeful that we shall soon be able XXX Perhaps summer tutoring may help the situation.

Mrs. Arthur Young, Milwaukee, Wisc My dear Mrs. Young: To my great satisfaction, John’s instructors report considerable improvement in the boy’s work and attitude this term. In the hops that encouragement will help the case still more we have decided to withdraw John from probation, and to extend to him for the balance of year the full privileges of the school. At the same time, we believe it to be wise to defer until the end of the school year the final decision bearing on the boy’s return next fall. It is still a question in our minds whether your brother has developed sufficient maturity and purpose in his work to make it wise for him to continue his course. A year in a seller, stricter school may seem necessary. Of course, xx hope that he will be able to go on with us and finish his course without interruption. If any other than this is recommended, it will be done wholly on the basis of what we believe the boy's best interests and welfare demand. Very sincerely yours, Principal Dr. Alfred E.
