At the same time there have been spasmodic evidences of interest with consequent temporary improvement. If we did not realize how immature the boy actually is, we would feel it necessary to require his withdrawal. As it is, we still hope to be able to bring him to his senses and to get him fairly started. Consequently, we are ready to make further efforts in this direction and shall allow him to continue with us with the hope and expectation that he will realize the danger of his present course and will show himself more of a man in the fure. His period of probation will be continued, and we must of necessity reserve the right to require his withdrawal without further notice in case he clearly shows himself unwilling to meet our requirements. We shall of course do everything in our power to prevent such a catastrophe. Very truly yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Harriet D.

Mr. Alan Fox, 50 Pine St., New York City My dear Alan: Your letter of July 23rd was forwarded to me, and reached me just before I left the Lake to return to Andover. Under the circumstances, I decided to defer the answer for a few days. It is true that we did not decide that Mitchell should not return to Andover in the fall. My own personal opinion is that the boy would do better if he were placed in some good small school for a year. I am inclined to think that he had his head turned a bit by the gigness of Andover, and lost his bearings somewhat. Our instructors, and I myself, have been after him Instantly in the hope of persuading him to re adjust his compose, but I cannot feel that we have been very successful. The boy has matured slowly, and is still very much of a “kid.” I have every faith in his final development, chiefly because of the blood that is in him, but I honestly believe that the lesson deprived from a year in a small school, and the inspiration offered by a return to Andover based on a good record in that school would prove excellent medicine for the boy at this stage. I have seen a number of cases of this character where the treatment mentioned has proved most officacious. I feel as you do, that Mitchell ought to complete his course in Andover, and I make the recommendation on that basis. I have tried to be frank, as you asked me to be, and I do not wish to be at all dictatorial in the matter. I think the teachers who know the boy best would fully concur in the recommendations which I have made. Don’t hesitate, however, to advise me if you feel I can aid you further, for I realise that you are assuming quite responsibility in the matter. Very sincerely yours, Alan Fox Dr. Alfred E.

Frank¬ly, I am losing all patience; for after doing my best for you as a good friend for a number of years, it now seems impossible even to get a courteous reply from you to necessary inquiries made to as¬certain what I may rightly expect from you in the way of cooperation in regard to your present obligations. I never dreamed that the time would come when I should have to write you in this vein; but that time apparently has come, and through no one’s fault but your own. If you would only do me the courtesy to answer my letters, I should feel that there was at least some chance of getting together. As it is, it looks as if the entire burden were to fall upon my shoulders unless something definite and drastic is done, and at once. Have you any suggestions to make? Faithfully yours, C.E.H.
