I will send you a check for the balance of Lee’s account when I have had a chance to see Lee and made sure that there are not other incidentals to be added. I am afraid his father will find it hard to understand just why this account has to be met by a series of checks instead of in one full lump. I have just this moment received a telegram from a doctor in New York saying Chow is detained by asthma. I have just about reached my limit on him. Either he will have to go home, or I will have to go to an insane asylum. Congratulations on the good luck at Round Pond.

The Chinese boys now here give me reports from time to time of Messrs Chu and Fan, and it is apparently the consensus of opinion that these two wanderers are making a sad mistake and are not realizing to the full, here in America, the high ideals and purposes which supposedly prompted them to come to this country. I understand they are tutoring in Boston. With whom and how ofter I cannot say, and for the purpose of entering Boston University later. While it is not my place to criticise, Boston University does not, of course, rank with our best colleges and scientific schools to which the majority of our Chinese visitors naturally look for the education desired. I cannot help feeling that Boston University, in this instance, is selected because it offers an easier read for the two boys in question. 1 have been having some correspondence recently with Dr, Paul Reinsch, who tells me that he is a close friend of Chu’s father and is interested in the boy’s American career. Dr. Reinsch was very much surprised that the boys had left Andover and I imagine that he may endeavor to use his influence to direct them sanely in their plans for the future. The other Chinese boys here are all doing well and showing find spirit. The Suns, as you probably know, are all members of my household. Arthur, the oldest, is doing good work at Phillips Academy. The two younger boys and their sister are attending the public schools. You have certainly sized up young Thomas when you say that he is “naughty at times”. He has a most astounding temper, which makes one fear that he may commit murder when the attack is on, but he soon gets over attacks of this kind and appears to be genuinely sorry for any damage resulting from the storm in question. I am beginning to wonder, however, whether it will not be better for these two younger boys to be separated next term and placed in schools where they will be subject to definite rules and school regulations. The reaction from the rather confined life at home seems to have been a bit too much for their immature minds, and it is a real problem to make them appreciate the fact that there are definite duties that must be done and definite rules to be obeyed in this free land to which they have so recently come. I have read with the deepest interest what you have to say about China and her present needs. You seem to have sized up the situation very fairly and sanely, and I only wish that all of the Chinese students who have come to us could see things in the same broad light, and would act with courage and firmness towards the accomplishment of these ends, by which China alone can be saved and her future welfare assured. Unfortunately I cannot help believing that a good number of the former students, at least, have not lived up to their opportunities in helping to settle their country’s difficulties. They have been inclined to assume a position of importance and authority without being willing to give into hard work and render the unselfish service necessary to justify their position and to make possible the solution of the nation’s problems. If you are ever in this part of the country be sure to look me up. In the mean time accept my heartiest wishes for success and happiness in your life and work. I shall doubtless be in Chicago before the year is over and in that case I shall hope to see you. Sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns P.S. Fang S.Y.

My dear Mr. Hu: I am sorry indeed to have to report that your plans for your fellow students from Nan Kai College have gone badly astray and that your generous efforts in behalf of these boys hare seemingly been misplaced. As I wrote you some time ago, our friend, Pih, gained admission to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where I hope he will be able to maintain a proper pace. His companions, Chu and Fang, s eased very much unsettled here for the first few days of their stay. Chu was extremely homesick and was in the infirmary for several days, finally he was persuaded by other Chinese boys to get out of bed and go about the usual school activities, with the result that the homesickness promptly disappeared. I saw both of the boys frequently after that time and found them in the best of spirits and apparently happy and contented. During the latter part of the past week I was compelled to be out of town and on my return, learned, to my surprise, that Messrs. Chu and Fang had suddenly left school without notifying any of us of their intentions or securing the necessary official permission to withdraw. The other Chinese boys were so disturbed by what had occurred that they sent two of their representatives to Boston to hunt up the boys and bring then back. This they did. We were not able to change the minds of there wanderers, however, and though I talked with them at length I could only secure from them the statements that they found the work too hard and proposed to leave. This last attitude is a bit interesting, in view of the fact that their first dissatisfaction was attributed by them to their belief that the work here would be altogether too easy and that they ought to be in a higher institution. Under the circumstance I could do nothing but allow the boys to withdraw; though I assured them that in all my dealing with Chinese boys for the past twenty years, this was the first instance that had come to my attention where there seemed to be an utter lack of appreciation of what their friends here had attempted to do for them and a willingness to adopt high-handed methods of procedure which in themselves showed complete lack of proper and gentlemanly conduct. The other Chinese boys in the school felt so strongly on this score that they held an indignation meeting and drew up a statement expressing their keen regret and offering their apologies for this unseenly and unjustified conduct on the part of their countrymen. I am writing to you frankly, for I know of your keen interest in these boys and your desire to haws them at Andover. From all I can gather, some outside influence has been at work to make the boys discontinued. I understand that they are planning to stay in Boston for a time, that they have already engaged rooms there, and that they are talking of entering Boston University or some other institution, the standards of admission to which are not of the highest, later in the year. I cannot help feeling that such a course would be about the worst thing that the boys could possibly do, for they need the discipline and routine of regular school life and are not likely to gain anything of value by hanging around a large city at this stage of their American careers. Of course I have not the slightest desire that the boys should return to Andover so long as they are satisfied that they cannot be happy here. I hope, however, that they can be persuaded to take a little different view of their obligation opportunities in this country and will not spoil their chances of successful careers, as some other Chinese boys have done in the past, by refusing to meet those standards and requirements which we expect of our own American students and which the large majority of Chinese students have most willingly accepted as necessary and wise.

The painting already hangs in my parlor, and I cherish it among my most valued possessions. The generous thought which prompted you to remember me in this way is very deeply appreciated. I assure you, and I beg you to accept my hearty and sincere thanks both for the gift and for the evidence it will always carry with it of your friendly goodwill. One of the great regrets which I have always entertained since my visit to China, nearly ten years ago, has been that I failed to bring back with me some suitable sample of Chinese painting. The want has now been generously satisfied and I am, therefore, doubly happy. May I take this opportunity to tell you what a most satisfactory member of our student body your boy has proved himself to be. His spirit has been of the finest and his enthusiasm is a delight to us all. It has been a real pleasure to have him with us and to feel that his character and influence have been of a kind that cannot prove otherwise than stimulating and helpful to the American boys with whom he has been thrown in intimate contact.

We are just in the midst of our ow holiday season here, and, as usual, the Chinese boys in town gathered with me at the annual tree. There were only three of them this year, however, an un usually small delegation. Please give my friendliest greetings and good wishes to Yih Chang when you next see or write to him. From time to time the boys have told me of his progress, and I have rejoiced to know that he has been so steadily overcoming the old weaknesses which troubled us both so much in times past.
