Dr. A. E. Stearns, Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass. My dear Dr. Stearns: Yours of recent date concerning your ward K. Y. Tu has been read carefully. In consideration of your statements concerning the financial condition of Tu’s Father, I have made the price of the room $600.00 for the year. This gives him a good-sized room and I have received such rental for the room upon previous occasions. Therefore, I trust this reduced rate of $100. on the former price will be acceptable to you. I am enclosing a statement for the half year for his expenses. I will do all that I possibly can to curb his expenses and warn him that money will not be forthcoming for large personal items. I will make a rule that I will advance no money for him or have any charges made on the books other than the bills of our school. His other money must be secured from you personally. I have no desire to handle a personal account for him here, neither can I advance money from the office for any emergencies. I trust this meets your approval. I am enclosing a supplementary account concerning the expenditures of the $50.00 deposit which was left with me last year. This will explain itself to you, but should you need additional explanation concerning the financial expenditures, I will gladly furnish the same. I know you have your perplexities with a case like this one, and I will do my best to cooperate with you from this end and urge him to excel in his studies and make good while his father gives him this remarkable opportunity. Sincerely yours, PS A bill for $300.00 will reach you the last week in January for the second half year. Therefore. you can see that his account for the year will be $640.00 for regular school expenses. Dr. Alfred E.

Under the circumstances it will be best, probably, for yon to hold the $3.27 in question and let me add a bit to it, so that you may have an emergency balance in case emergencies arise. In the meantime, the boy can and should consult me about necessary expense and secure what he requires. All of my other Chinese wards regularly OK and send me for payment all the different school and college bills. In addition, they receive monthly allowances varying from $5.00 to $10.00 for purely personal expenses, really luxuries, and I can’t understand why Tu seems so unwilling to confer to this customary practice.

My dear Tu: I have your letter of recent date, asking me to send Dr. MacDaniel some more money. I wrote Dr.MacDaniel several days ago, explaining that I could not very well send more money to him as a deposit until I had received an accounting for that sent him last year. Certainly his business methods are unusual. I can’t understand why he did not send me a statement long ago. Again I wrote Dr. MacDaniel, saying that I was not willing to pay the extra price of a double room for you. I am sure your father can’t afford to pay this extra and unnecessary expense. Either take a roommate or take a single room, even if the latter does mean crowding your possessions a bit. There is certainly no reason why you should indulge in an extravagance of this kind any more than an American boy. There is hardly an American father who sends his boy to school who would permit it. I am sending you a small check to cover immediate incidentals.

E. Stearns, Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts. My dear Dr. Stearns: Mr. K. Y. Tu, your ward, has returned to our Institution for another year. He has visited me in the office, and he seems to be more mature and has definite ideas concerning his course of study which we will seek to arrange for him. His schedule for this coming year will be as follows: English II, History A, French I, Grammar, Elocution II. I think that Tu has the ability to carry this course unless the collateral reading required by New York State for English and History would give him too much reading with his limited acquaintance with the English Language. However, I feel inclined to allow him to make the effort. He wishes to take Algebra Review; now, he cannot get into the regular course for the first half year, but we expect to offer this also, the second half year and I felt that I might defer his work until that time. He seems to be earnest in his spirit and anxious in his disposition to get the largest benefits out of his work this coming year. Our teachers are sympathetic toward him and if he does his part of the work I feel he will get good results. Mr. Tu has one of our large, comfortable rooms which ordinarily sells for a double room, and we are severely taxed for room space this year as we opened with a full enrolment. This room should bring me $1,000 with two boys, but I am charging Tu $700 for the same; $25.00 for general fees, and a book deposit of $15.00. I think all things, considered, he is happier rooming alone. He has a great deal of baggage and property, and could not easily be adjusted in a smaller room, therefore, I have assigned him to this room with the understanding that he will pay $700. I am enclosing a bill for one-half year. I hope this meets with your approval, and I will be pleased to receive your early remittance. The amount of $50.00 which you sent me last year, has been carefully expended and I will send you an itemized account just as soon as the rush days are over so you may see how that fund was administered last year. Tu and I thought it would be wise to restore the fund to that amount or $100.00 so that when he wishes things on short notice I might have money here for such purposes. He seems to be quite happy here. He is law-abiding, and quite amenable, and is content here. Very truly yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Frank MacDaniel K.Y.

My dear Mr.MacDaniel: I have your letter of September 17. Thank you for writing me so frankly of my ward’s status. One thing, however, troubles me, and I must ask for a revision of the arrangement made and that is the high priced room assigned tb to. The boy’s father has recently written me that he has accepted, practically without compensation, a position with the present Peking Government and this will make it harder than ever for him to keep his boy in this country. He has asked me to curb expenses to the limit, and I am trying to carry out his request to me, although Tu seems to aid me very little in this particular matter, as he is naturally a spendthrift. The director of the camp where Tu passed the summer told me only recently that he was the hardest boy they had to handle in the whole outfit. A small single room is ample for Tu’s needs, whatever the matter of baggage and property he happens to carry with him. May I ask, therefore, that such assignment be made at once and notice of arrangement sent me. With the understanding that this will be done, I am returning the bill rendered for revision. I am not yet aware as to the character of the expenditure of the $50.00 sent you last year. Isn’t it t possible to keep me a little more fully advised? Tu wired me constantly for money to meet expenses that I had assumed would be taken care of by this deposit. Naturally I hesitate to send another check for a similar amount until I have some general idea, at least, as to the nature of its disposition. May I count, therefore, on you to advise me more fully on this point. Frankly my chief criticism in the past year is that Tu seems to have worked too much on the sympathies of his friends at Lima, who seemingly have not fully seized up his weakness or appreciated the necessity of imposing him pretty rigid limitations on his expenditures and vigorous pressure to keep him to his best intellectual effort. During the last twenty-five years I have had scores of these Chinese boys as my personal wards and I am well acquainted with the particular type, representing, I am glad to say, a very small proportion of the total number, that Tu represents. Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Frank MacDaniel K.Y.

H. K. Ta The Ministry of Navy Peking, China My dear Mr.Tu: Thank you for your letter of July 19 which reached me during the summer holiday. I have had several long talks with your boy during the summer and am very much disturbed over his seeming inability to assume responsibilities and to treat his finances in a business-like and careful way. The director of the camp where he has been this past summer told me at the end of their session that your son was the most trying boy they had in their group, because he was constantly seeking to avoid meeting the customary regulations and offering all kinds of excuses for his delinquencies. He is careless and impulsive and a bit stubborn when an effort is made to bring him to reason, and I find It next to impossible to get him to keep his expenses within reasonable limits. I have assured him, however, that, unless he could give a better account of himself in matters of this kind, I should strongly advise you to call him back to China and give up the attempt to secure the American education which you so much desire for him. I told him further of your new appointment and of the statements made in your last letter to me to the effect that it would be more necessary than ever for him to curtail expenses, but I am afraid this made little impression upon him. I dislike exceedingly to write you in such a discouraging vein, but I feel that it is only fair that you should know the exact situation and the difficulties which confront me in this particular case. I have told you son that out of over sixty cases of Chinese boys with whom I have dealt intimately within the last twenty-five years, I was forced to class him with only two other boys who had caused me serious anxiety. I begged him for your sake and for his own to change his attitude and make a real effort to cooperate with us in the endeavors that we were making wholly with a view to his own best progress and interest in the end. I can only hope that this coming year will reveal a better spirit on his part and that I may have much more favorable reports for you in the future. Very sincerely years Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E.
