He writes me, by the way, that the three children, two sons and a daughter, of his friend Mr. Chang wish to come to Andover next year and be under my charge. Your father suggests that the girl follow you to Whittier for a year and the boys follow Alfred to Mont Vernon. I do not know the Changs, of course, but I have written your father this morning that I would be glad, as usual, to do what I could to guide them in their American life and work. Charlie, who is staying with me just now, as he has changed his business to Boston, took your stamp order in with him a day or two ago and tells me that he has delivered it to the Boston agent of Scott Stamp Company who will see that it is executed promptly.

At first he showed an imperious attitude and seemed to expect things to be done just about his way. It was a manner that tended to make him very unpopular with the other boys, and we paid special attention to trying to make him see that he was not better than the others and that he would receive no special favors of such a type as his money has unfortunately seemed to give him previously. As a result his whole method of going at things changed, and I think that he not only enjoyed camp more because of having more friends, but also that he left with the reputation of being a good fellow. I hope that he does not slip back into his former attitude because, from other boys, I have heard that it made him unpopular at the Stearns School, and I know that it would not gain him any friends at Andover. Mr. Mills gave Alfred ten hours tutoring, nearly all in English. I hope it helps. Mr. Mills seemed to think that his main trouble was an inability to understand questions, but that, once they were clear to him, he had little trouble. Sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

I am glad, also, to have the report of Helen Tsai's scholarship standing to date and to find that Helen has been proving a satisfactory member of your school community. My own feeling just now is that Helen will probably be much better off to make her headquarters with you for the Christmas holiday season, though I do not for a moment wish to ask anything unreasonable. Before I decide the question definitely, I am going to find out from Mrs. Nye in South Weymouth whether she has any plans or wishes that would tend to alter my judgment. I wish I could provide for both Helen and her brother here in Andover, but this does not seem practicable or wise. I imagine, though, that she and her brother both will wish to have a part of their vacation together, and in that case, South Weymouth would be the natural meeting point. If, as you have suggested, you are planning to visit Boston after Christmas, I should judge that the South Weymouth visit could most satisfactorily be planned for that period. Again thanking you most sincerely for the help you have given me, and trusting that I may be able to advise you a bit more definitely within the next few days, believe me. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Mary Antony https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/a154eefcca4cc3f796735c77710b50d4.jpg 04f4f56aa549eb6dafeffcfd552e23b0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

You ought to receive them, therefore, before Wednesday when your vacation begins. By all means accept Mrs. Nye's invitation to spend the vacation with her in South Weymouth. I am sure this will prove the happiest arrangement for you and Alfred since there is really nothing in Andover during the holiday season to interest you and employ your time. I had suggested in a letter to Sister Mary Antony that you might spend part of the vacation, at least, at Saint Mary's, but if Mrs. Nye is willing to have you for the entire period, so much the better, provided, of course, this meets with your own wishes. Anyway you care to divide the period between Saint Mary's and the Nyes will be perfectly satisfactory to me. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

It is not practicable for me to care for them in my own home, and I do not at all like the idea of having then drift around here, making their headquarters at the Phillips Inn, but with no actual program to follow. I have just inquired of Sister Mary Antony, the head of Saint Mary's School, whether the school could provide Helen during holiday season, and have learned that this is not only possible but customary each year in the cases of a few girls. Under this arrangement, Miss Antony assures me that Helen could visit New York several days to see the museums and other places of interest, under proper chaperonage, of course. On the whole, I like the idea. Miss Antony further suggests that she is likely to come to Boston soon after Christmas for something like a week, and would be glad to bring Helen with her at that time if I care to have her do so. I am writing, therefore, to ask you with the utmost frankness, which I hope you will reciprocate, whether it would be convenient for you to have the Tsais with you for part of the Christmas holidays and whether, indeed, you would prefer to have or not to have them at all. Please be perfectly frank, for I have no desire whatever to suggest even a plan that would not meet with your fullest approval. I am inclined to think that the time has come when I ought to surrender in a way my form of guardianship of Hellen to one of her own sex who understands her needs and can guide her judiciously than it is possible for me to do. I can make the attempt, at least, where boys are concerned, but I must confess and frankly that the problem of girls which confront me in my guise of guardian are a bit out of my sphere. I don't think it is quite fair to Helen, either, that she should not have the direct oversight and guidance of some motherly person who can help her with her individual problems. After thinking along the above lines for many months, I am wondering whether you would feel willing to assume this responsibility? I am sure that the arrangement would be fully approved by Mr. Tsai, Sr., and I should be ready and glad to cooperate in every possible way. I am sure that Mr. Tsai would wish to reimburse you for any expense or trouble to which you were put through the relationship. May I ask you, therefore, to be frank with me in stating whether such a plan would meet with your full approval? If it does not, I shall, of course, understand perfectly your position and will turn elsewhere for possible help. With kind personal regards, believe me Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.
