He has met the requirements in all of his courses except that in Chemistry. This seems to cause him considerable difficulty and he is reported as having a grade of 1.5 which means that unless he does remarkably well during the present week he will be excluded from the examination. Probably a word of encouragement from you would be of real benefit to him just now.

Dear Dr. Stearns: The month in which the experiment with Mr. Tu was to have been made has now passed, and we think you will be interested in the report of what has occurred. We are somewhat encouraged. The method devised seems to have brought some result. Mr. Tu has worked in accordance with the regulations devised, and though he found it difficult at first, he adapted himself quite readily as time went on. At first it was my inclination to give you a resume of the report submitted by his Department Head - who has Mr. Tu in direct charge - but I believe it would be more to the point if I sent you an actual copy of the report itself. This is enclosed, and from it you will notice how very detailed has been the supervision to which Mr. Tu has been subjected during this probationary month. I have discussed this report with Mr. Tu and have told him that it is being forwarded to you. It is my belief that he is somewhat impressed by his own progress, and if the system is continued, there is likelihood that it might bring the result which is desired. At least, we believe it to be promising enough to warrant a continuance, and we shall proceed in accordance with the same schedule unless you deem it wise that we change.

I think we can feel a bit encouraged. Mr. Tu has stuck to the job, but it requires constant pressure. This week he has asked that we alter our schedule somewhat. It appears that he feels he needs an hour in the afternoon for relaxation. He has further promised that if we will excuse him for the hour in which he has been doing his arithmetic home work, he will faithfully devote an evening hour to that subject. We have taken him at his word and will put him on trial for one week to see whether or not we can make the change in the requirements without sacrificing anything in the way of accomplishment If we can hold him to the program, I feel that something can be accomplished in his behalf. I believe, too, that he has begun to see something of value in the plan, although it is hard for him to hold himself to a given task, especially when the presence of errors makes it necessary that he go back over the work he has done in an endeavor to locate the error. His instructors continue enthusiastic in the experiment, and unless you have some suggestion, we shall keep on as we have started. Sincerely yours, H.B.Wells Dr. Alfred E. Stearns H.B.

Stearns Phillips Academy Andover, Mass. My dear Dr. Stearns: This is to notify you that Mr. Tu terminated his course of study June 6th as he states that it is his intention to return home to China in a very short time. You will be very much disappointed in the inclosed report, but I feel that the poor showing indicated thereon is in a large measure due to the fact that the young man’s mind during the past month has been on matters outside of his studies. June is a month in which a spirit of unrest is prevalent owing to the fact that it is our graduation period and the season when many are terminating their courses for the summer. Unless a student possesses more than an ordinary amount of stick-to-it-tiveness, his progress is materially retarded. Taking a long view of young Tu's course, we feel that we have accomplished some worthwhile results. Some of these may be more or less of an intangible nature. When he first came to us, he was sadly lacking in those traits of character associated with courtesy, gentlemanly bearing, and willingness to take advice. During the latter part of his course, he not only made a decided improvement with respect to these faults but also began to develop a sense of responsibility towards carrying out whatever he was instructed to do. In his studies, the ground he covered has been very limited, but the time he has spent on Accounting, Business Arithmetic, Business English, Spelling, Penmanship, and Typewriting has given him some idea as to the meaning of discipline and business procedure. We feel fairly confident that his Burdett training will be of some real value to him in his future career. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns H.B. Wells K.Y.

Tu, and in reply let me first express our appreciation for your confidence in recommending that he attend Burdett College. In the past we have had a number of Chinese students, all of whom have distinguished themselves by their intellectual grasp of the instruction and subject matter. Their attitude was usually all that could be desired. Mr. Tu has been an exception. He is somewhat of a problem, but one, despite our discouragements, that we are not, as yet, inclined to admit as impossible. Mr. Tu seems unwilling to concentrate. He is generally inattentive in class and has been, in some instances, disrespectful to instructors. Furthermore, he demonstrates a tendency not to work seriously upon the subjects that he does not take to naturally. Two minor subjects, penmanship and typewriting, have enlisted his interest and in both he has done fair work. In the ordinary course of events, we would some time ago have asked him to withdraw, but we believe he has both the ability and background and if we can, through appeal or otherwise, awaken a desire within him, we can help him overcome most of his difficulties. In that attempt, we have resorted to appeal, to inspiration, and to the setting up of a definite requirement as to objective, but our efforts so far have not brought the result that we wish. Today, as a final endeavor, we are starting upon a plan which in conference we have explained to him. In this endeavor, he is to be put upon a basis where he will be subjected to the direct supervision of his department head and three school officers. We have taken the rather unusual step of attempting to enter into an agreement with him, the salient features of which are that he will accept a schedule of hours comparable to those observed in a business day and that he will remain after school hours under definite supervision. The program we have outlined for him is enclosed, and he has agreed that upon its presentation in the morning he will sign it. We are taking this rather extraordinary step because there is that element in the character of the pure Chinese whereby once having made an agreement, the conditions of the agreement are ordinarily carried out. We do not know whether this will work out successfully or not, but we shall try it. Conferences with Mr. Tu have been numerous. Each time he admits his fault and indicates a willingness to make correction. Sometimes he has shown resentment toward the attempts we have made to hold him to a requirement. He has now promised that his attitude will be different with respect to the enclosed schedule. This report is somewhat detailed — more so than I had intended it to be — but your interest in the case has been the reason for it. Had we known the extent of your interest, we would have submitted a report earlier. Mr. Tu has received such reports as are regularly issued, and we understood that he had conferred with you with regard to his marks and his progress. We shall, however, from this point on report directly to you upon all matters relating to him and his work here. Again may we express appreciation to you for your interest in writing us. Sincerely yours, Vice President Dr. Alfred E. Stearns H.B. Wells K.Y.
