K.Tu, Chinese Legation 87 Rue de Babylon Paris, France My dear Mr. Tu: I have just received your interesting letter of May 16, and am sorry that you have not been kept better informed as to your boy’s whereabouts and plans, let me say at the outset that his lodging address for some time has been and still is 438 Columbus Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts. Kong is finishing out his year at the Huntington school, end should be through there this coming month. He has discovered and so reported to me that there is a summer session at one of the business schools in Boston, and he has consequently decided to take the summer course so that this schools offers as a preparation for the regular course he expects to begin next fall with the best of these business schools, and with which he has already registered. Apparently Kong has accepted this plan with some interest, if not actual enthusiasm and I am very hopeful that once he gets started in this new work he will give it his best, and make steady and really worth while progress. I note with interest that you are still in Europe, though I had supposed that you would have been well on your way to China, if not actually back in the homeland by this time. I am sending this letter to Paris, therefor, in the hope that it will reach you before you leave. I still recall with the kindest pleasure our contacts in London and the generous and friendly treatment I then end always have received at your hands. May I wish you all of life’s best blessings for the days and years ahead. Very sincerely yours. Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

My last instructions from your father were to the effect that you were to return to China, but that if you objected too strongly to this he would continue to authorize to meet necessary expenses only on condition that you secured a position in some trade organization or business concern, like the Ford school, in order to learn some useful trade that would be of value to you on return to China. Our correspondence at the time shows that your father’s position was made very clear to you and was thoroughly understood by you. You yourself assured me that you would seek for such an opening at once. The fact that you have gone back to high school at your age and without even taking the trouble to advice me in advance is only another indication of your unwillingness to cooperate with your father and me and carry out instructions. In all my dealings with scores of Chinese boys I have never been treated in this way before and you cannot blame me, therefore, for having lost faith in your reliability. Further, the Huntington School authorities themselves assured me that the main reason why you had not attained greater success in your work with them was your interest in outside social and athletic activities. Needless to say, I would not be either legally or normally justified, especially in view of your father’s explicit instructions to me, in advancing funds for the purpose you have specified. It seems to me nothing short of a crime that at your age you should be willing even to continue with elementary high school work which in itself is going to accomplish little or nothing towards fitting you for a reasonable position in your home land or for rendering to your country that higher service which your father cherished when he made the sacrifice involved in sending you to America for education. I hate to write you in this vein but no other course in open to me under the circumstances. I am consequently returning your school bill for which neither I nor your father has assumed responsibility. Needless to say, this situation distresses me greatly, but I have pleaded with you so often and in the friendliest fashion that I feel it necessary now to speak my mind plainly and promptly, however much you may resent my words and however much it may hurt me to speak them. My obligation is primarily to your father, as you must readily recognize. Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

L. Shao Soldiers Field Boston, Massachusetts My dear Mr. Shao: I have your interesting letter of October 8, and appreciate very much your friendly interest in Mr.Tu. I had not learned that Mr. Tu had gone back to the Huntingdon school, and your letter brings me the first intimation of this. The fact is that Tu practically never takes me into his confidence unless he is in trouble, and that is one of the chief reasons why I can’t extend to him the confidence and trust that I should like to and that I am regularly able to extend without reservation to my Chinese wards. My last instructions from Tu’s father wore to the effect that if his son was to remain in this country, it was to be on the understanding that he was give up his high school studies, for which he is already far too old and secure a position in some factory like the Ford factory, suggested by the boy himself,- in order to prepare himself for a worth while position in China. I myself felt strongly that Tu had been wasting his time and his father’s money by staying on at a school like Huntington with boys years his junior, and though it was my belief that he ought to return to hie home, I consented to the father1 a suggestion that he be allowed to remain a bit longer if - and only if - he took such a position as I have mentioned above. Tu promised me that he would make every effort to secure such a position and that is the last word I have had from him. Under the circumstance, I am sure you will appreciate that I have a more heavy responsibility to the father than to the boy at this moment, and that I do not, therefore, feel justified in misusing further the father's money in order that Tu may continue work which both his father and I agree is not suited to him at his resent age and with his clear look of intellectual interest.

Tu. I note that Tu’s record this time is a bit better than any he has previously turned in, but even so I agree heartily with you that the boy is not college material. He is altogether too old and evidently he lacks the natural ability to handle college work successfully. Mr. Tu’s father wrote me a short time ago that he was unwilling to advance further funds for his boy’s education in America. I reported this to Kong, who accepted the verdict rather sulkily as I had anticipated. Kong assured me that he was then trying to secure admission to the Ford school in Detroit, whatever that may be. Later, and only a week or two ago, I received another letter from the father saying that he would be willing to have Kong remain in this country if he could secure work in a Ford factory, and only on that condition. This information also I have passed on to the boy who tells me that he is trying to secure such a position, but that his efforts thus far have not met with success. This is where matters stand at the moment, but I am perfectly clear that Tu should not go on with his work with you or in any similar school. Indeed, I must carry out the father’s instructions in this respect. Just what success the boy will have in finding work of the character he desires, I am not at all sure. Very sincerely yours. C.H.
