Mr dear Miss Reed: I have your note of November 3rd, and have talked over Kwong’s situation with the various and the class officer concerned to see if a proper readjustment can be made in the boy’s schedule. Some changes, I understand, have already been put into operation. We have also arranged to grant the boy permission to visit his sister at Abbot Academy every week; although technically he is not eligible for excuses of this kind.

Reed including the grades of Alfred Kwong for the current term and recommending that due to Kwong's poor grades, described as a practically complete failure, it would be better for Kwong to finish out the school year at a smaller school where he can focus his efforts on mastering the English language before returning to Phillips Academy in the future.

Reed Springfield, Mass. My dear Miss Reed: I am enclosing herewith report of Alfred’s work for the past term. As you will note, the record is one of practically complete failure. This does not mean that the boy has not tried; for he has unquestionably done the best he knew how, but he is also unquestionably not fitted at this time to meet the requirements of this particular school. After experience with nearly a hundred Chinese boys in recent years I am convinced that in this particular case the only satisfactory solution of our problem is to place Kwong in a small school for the balance of the current year. Under such conditions he should emphasize especially his work in English; though it may be possible for him to take some other subject in the way of foundation work. At the end of that time I shall expect him to be qualified to resume his connection with this school, and with the expectation of meeting our requirements in a satisfactory way. He would gain time in the end by such a course and would be spared that inevitable discouragement which must result from continued failure to secure results from well-meant effort. I am sure you will appreciate the spirit in which this recommendation is made. If I can in any way assist you in arranging for the boy’s further work at this time, please do not hesitate to let me know. We shall lose him with real regret. His spirit has been of the finest, and I personally shall be keenly disappointed if he is not able to return to us at some later date and complete the work of this school. Very sincerely yours, Alfred Kwong Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Lottie M.

Stearns to Miss Lottie M. Reed enclosing a check for the remainder of Alfred Kwong's account, made payable to his sister Agnes Kwong. Details the school policy not to refund tuition payments when students drop out part way through the school term, but says he has made a special exception for Alfred Kwong, as it was unknown at his time of starting the school how unequipped he was to meet the school's requirements. Reports how many other boys have been in Kwong's situation in recent years and how the majority have returned to the school when able.

Reed 44 Spruce St Springfield, Mass. My dear Miss Reed: I have your letter of February 26th, and am enclosing herewith a statement of Alfred Kwong’s account and a cheek for $283.97, the balance remaining in my hands ; and the check has been made out to Agnes Kwong, as requested. The policy of the school, as stated in our catalogue, is to make no remissions on tuition charges where boys drop out during the school year. The tuition is paid in instalments, however, so that those who issue before the second instalment is due are not charged for the full amount for the year. In exceptional cases, I am allowed by the Trustees to make special remissions, so that the boys concerned are not actually charged for a longer period than they were formally connected with the school. It seems to me only fair to grant this exception in Kwong’s case; for neither he nor we could tell in advance just who well fitted he was to meet our requirements here. Under the circumstances, therefore, I have asked our Treasurer to send you a check representing the balance remaining over the charge for the time of the boy’s actual connection with the school. I trust that Alfred is getting on well in the new environment; and I only wish that we might look forward to the opportunity of welcoming him back here at some later date. We have had many similar cases in recent years, and in the majority of these cases the boys involved have returned to us and completed their careers with real credit. Very sincerely yours.

He was fearful of trachoma, but he has only a simple conjunctivitis. He has, however, only about half sight, due to apparent myopic astigmatism, and this needs correction. I think it would be safer to use belladonna, so I have asked him to make an appointment for Wednesday. He ought to be here by two o’clock, so that I can put the drops in and I will reserve him for his examination later. Young Euston also came in and although he is having no trouble, I think it necessary to correct a little myopic astigmatism in his right eye. Arrangements have been made with him to come in next Wednesday. Chang however, will have to be told of this arrangement. I kept them waiting yesterday, because my regular appointments prevented ray giving them immediate attention. If it is possible in the future to engage time beforehand it will facilitate matters a good deal. Trusting that you: are well and with kind regards, believe me, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Edwin E.
