First, I have your father’s definite request that you should return home at the end of current school year. Under the circumstances with his instructions, which means that I shall not be able to pass on to you beyond the close of this current term any funds except what may be required to carry out your father’s instructions. Frankly, I think it is perfectly silly of you to stay on longer in America working on high school work. You are altogether too old for that sort of thing and cannot gain anything by a continuance of it that in my judgment will prove of any definite or permanent value. Second, your notice to me that you have been securing scholarship aid from the school is the first intimation I have had of that fact. Frankly, I don’t like the sound of this at all, for it indicates clearly that you have not played quite fair with me in the matter or with this school either. May I repeat my request that you come to Andover and talk things over with me in Boston? I am primarily responsible to your father and I have promised him to see you and tell you just what he has written and the plans he wishes you to follow. I am not going to keep writing on this matter but I hope you will understand that I am very much in earnest in what I have written above. Very truly yours Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

For two or three years now I have been trying persuade this boy to return to China, as I have been clearly convinced that he has been only wasting his time and his father’s money by remaining in this country. Up till recently, it has been impossible for me to secure the father’s approval of my recommendation. Several months ago, however, he wrote me saying that he had accepted my judgement and asking me to instruct his boy to return to China at an early date. I passed on the instructions, only to receive the usual remonstrances. Then I wrote Tu to come out and see me, but he has not come. Next, I wrote him that I would him no more money for his expenses in this country until I had had at least a chance to talk with him and convince that he must promptly acquiesce in his father’s decision and make his plans to return to China. I have not seen him since, though my secretary tells me that this morning he telephoned the office, asking for his May allowances, which I have not sent his, adding that he was coming out this coming Saturday morning to talk with me. Needless to say, I shall hold the allowance until his comes, and probably longer, though I do not wish him to leave the country, of course, until he has settled all legitimate bills. From the above you will understand how thoroughly I appreciate your letter. I am hoping that it will aid me distinctly in convicing the bot that there is only one thing for him to do now, and that is to start for China. Faithfully yours. C.H. Sampson Dr. Alfred E.

Evidently the letter has been delayed in its journey. In the same mail I am writing to your son, endorsing strongly your plans for him. I have felt for a long while that the boy would not profit greatly by a longer stay in America since he apparently is not particularly apt with his studies, though I have no doubt that he would do well on a regular job, especially of the type you have in mind. It has always been my impression that the general education such as he sought in the United States was a bit too long delayed in his case, and that he undertook it at an age when every boy’s ability to absorb and profit by book learning, as we sometimes call it, has become distinctly less active and efficient. If he had started a few years earlier, I am not at all sure that he might not have done well. I can only hope, though, that the American experience will prove to have been of real value to him and that the time and expense involved will not seem to either you or him have been wasted.

H. Sampson The Huntington School 320 Huntington Avenue Boston, Massachusetts My dear Mr. Sampson: Thank you for your letter about K. Y. Tu. I am not surprised that the boy is not making pronounced progress with you, and indeed I am more than a little surprised that he has done as well as your letter would seem to indicate. Frankly, I have been trying to persuade Tu and his father also for several years that the money invested in the boy’s education in this country is being practically thrown away. He tried to do something for Tu here at Phillips Academy and gave it up as a bad job. At the boy's earnest request, I allowed him to try the local high school, but the authorities there throw up their hands in despair after they had worked with him for some time, and he was consequently forced to sever that connection. I strongly urged his father to take him home, but the boy himself looks on this possibility as having in it the elements of a real calamity and has been able to persuade his father to allow him to stay In this country and try other schools. Personally, I can’t believe that the boy will ever prove himself to be college material. For one thing, he is already too old to plan an investment of additional time that a college education would require. I shall appreciate greatly your having your dean or registrar, or whoever has charge of the matter, send me at an early date a complete statement of the boy’s standing with you, which I shall in turn forward to Mr. Tu Sr. Very sincerely yours, C.H.

The check has been deposited to your boy’s account as requested. It is very difficult for me to know just how your boy is getting along or how he is investing his time in view of his present location in Boston. When he was here, I could follow his work and ways pretty closely. Since he left, it is difficult to do so, though I have every reason to believe from his letters that he is doing his best to make progress in his studies and to live a straightforward and proper life. I have serious doubts, however, whether he will make sufficient progress in his school work to justify the expense and sacrifice which you are making to keep him in this country. This I have already intimated to you before, so I am mentioning no new opinion. In my judgement the boy made too late a start in his education in this country to secure very satisfactory results. I am writing to the principal of the school where he now is and am asking him to send me as full a report as he is able, and shall be glad to transmit the same to you on its receipt.
