I want to follow that up with a Brief word of inquiry in regard to your work and progress at your present school. Won’t you write me and tell me how you find things and what progress you are making ? Doesn’t the school ever issue reports of any kind? It seems to me that I ought to have some reports of a general character, at least, and I know that your father is eager to hear of how matters stand with you. Do you have a Dean or Registrar or some one who keeps records of the students? If so, who is he? Please let me have this information, as it will relieve my mind a lot. though I am assuming that it will be all to the good, of course.

Additional funds have also been sent by his to be used at my discretion in helping you meet the necessary expenses connected with your work and endeavor. Under these circumstances I think you ought to cut out all outside work that does not directly aid you in securing training for the profession you have in mind. That time invested in hard study will be more valuable to you now than anything else. If in a doctor's office you can pick up knowledge that will help you in your studies, by all means keep at it and count that part of your education, but work simply for the sake of adding to your income should be dropped without question. I wish you would run out here some day and give me a chance to talk over with you the whole situation so that I can form a fair opinion as to what expenses you will be called upon to face and can advise your father accordingly. I am sending under separate cover a copy of the catalogue just received from the Springfield Training School, which I had sent for in the hope that wo might find something in it that would be of interest to you.

My dear Tu: Your Letter of February 1st, which I found on my desk on my return from New York last night, comes as a real surprise. With your father’s instructions in my mind, to have you return to China, what am I to do under the circumstances? Unless you are to become a dentist through something outside the usual channels, it seems utterly foolish for you to attempt to go on with your studies. Your father would share my opinion on that, I am confident. If there are ways by which the knowledge of dentistry may be acquired without following the usual procedure, then. I should be ready to discuss the problem with you and with your father and perhaps sanction the new plan. As it is, I can’t in Justice to your father use the money which he has sent me for a definite purpose in the work you have suggested unless I know what that work actually is and can be assured that it is worth while. It present I can see no good in it; nor can I possibly understand how you can hope to meet the necessary expenses required without help from home. Before I notify, probably by cable, your father of the latest developments, it is imperative that I should learn more from you as to just what these new plans are that you have in mind.

Should he wish to return, he may use it as his passage money, and should he decide to remain, to be an apprentice in any job that would suit him most, I would not object”….. “Would it be possible to get him in one of the Ford factories?” From the above, it is evident that your father is willing that you should take a job in the Ford factory, for example, if you could secure one. It is equally clear that he is unwilling for your to continue your education along the lines you have been following to date. Under the circumstances, it is evident that your father expects you to earn your own way if you are to remain in this country. I am sending the check, therefore, that you may be able to clear up your present indebtedness and have an opportunity to search at once for a good job if you are to delay the return to China.

I am depositing the money to the account in question and have notified your son of its arrival. Only yesterday your boy came to my house, bringing with him the unique and most interesting gift which you were so generous and friendly as to send me. I am immensely grateful to you, and I can assure you that, outside of its usual qualities, the gift itself will always claim a special interest because of the thoughtful and friendly spirit which promoted it. Deeply as I appreciate this taken of your friendship, however, I do hope that you will understand that my interest in your boy, and indeed in my other Chinese friends, calls for no reimbursement of a material kind. I welcome the privilege that is given to me to help these promising young fellows in the far-away land and have enjoyed myself keenly in ministering to their needs, so far as it was in my power to do so. The pleasure I derive from these friendly and interesting contacts is reward enough and more. May I also thank you and heartily, for the photograph of yourself which your boy brought to me yesterday and which I have now added to the constantly growing collection of pictures of good friends who now are scattered throughout and whom I still dare hope I may some day meet in person again or for the first time. As your boy has found it necessary to draw ahead some on funds which I have borrowed in his behalf, and in anticipation of the arrival of your check, I am enclosing a copy of his account to date that you may see just where he stands and for what the money has been spent. Barring, perhaps, the radio apparatus sent back to his home, he seems to me to have striven hard to keep his expenses within bounds. As you doubtless know, living costs in America today are abnormally and absurdly high. Ever since the war, we have been expecting to see prices tumble, but if anything, the necessaries of life seem to have advanced a bit. I will make the $600.00, or rather the balance that is left after settling the account to date, last as long as I can, but I am afraid that it will not carry the youngster for very long. Again thanking you for your exceptional friendliness and with kindest regards, believe me Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

They are almost uncalled for is any case, except in the cases of seniors. As a matter of fact you will install probability enter some other school next fall and then your expensive ring will be out of place and something of a burden. If you care to pay for this out of your monthly allowance, that is your privilege, but the bill certainly do not properly belong among the necessary expenses of your education which your father must make sacrifices to insect.
