I have always found Sinley a gentleman in the best sense of the word, faithful in his endeavors, and responsive to every suggestion offered for this welfare. Although it is, of course, proper that he should go on with college work at this time, it is with a feeling of keen personal regret that I am forced to see him sever the Andover connection. In my judgment, Sinley is a boy who has within him the possibilities of becoming a strong and helpful influence in the home land when he returns. If he holds to the ideals which appear to have controlled his purpose and action to date, you should have reason to be proud of him in the years to come. Although the boy is no longer a member of the school, I shall be ready and glad always to did him or you in any way I can to insure that they American education and experience shall be as valuable as possible to the boy.

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.

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.
