My dear Mrs. Mitchell, It has been a source of a very great disappointment to me to find that John has recently developed an attitude of carelessness in his work that has placed him in a very dangerous situation with relation to his standing in the school. The spirit of play, perfectly natural and perfectly legitimate, has apparently been allowed to run riot with the consequent undermining of school work and school standing. Because of the extent to which this spirit has developed and the attendant results our teachers feel that the case should be handled rather severely for the boy’s interest. In consequence, we have withdrawn for the balance of the term the privilege which we are accustomed to grant our boys in the ways of out of town and evening excuse, and have warned John that a continuation for his present attitude and his present poor work might eventually XX him to a point where it would not be wise or possible for us to permit him to continue his connection with the school. It is with the deepest regret that I find it necessary to report such a situation to you, but I am very hopeful that our combined efforts will furnish all the pressure and incentive needed to spur the boy to greater effort with the improved results that are easily within his ability secure, and that we all so earnestly desire to see. I do not believe that John has begun to realise how seriously he has allowed his work to be impaired by his interest in play and attraction outside his studies. With kindest personal regards, believe me Very truly yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Harriet D.

Mitchell Milwaukee Wisc. My dear Mrs. Mitchell I am glad Lo learn from your letter received this morning that you have decided to send your boy to Andover next fall. I shall be only too glad to aid you as far as I can in completing arrangements for the boy’s admisison. The Abbot House and Bancroft Cottage are both good buildings. Unfortunately, however, the Bancroft has no single Is rooms or suites, and the single rooms Abbot House are on the fourth floor, up under the roof „ and far from attractive. There are several single rooms and suites in the Katon and Andover Cottages, and these in my judgment are about the best that can be had, though their desirability renders them as a rule easy prey to the old boys. The next choice in my judgment, if a single room is essential, would be Phillips or Bartist Mall. If you will kindly indicate on the enclosed blank the general nature of your preference, I shall be glad to do my best to make a satisfactory selection when the rooms are finally assigned. By applying at this early date you will be able to secure almost the first choice after the old boys have been pleased. Please feel free to advise me if I can at any time be of further service to you in this or in any other matter connected with your boy's admission to the school, and believe me, Very truly yours Dr. Alfred E.

I might incidentally state that I am a son- in-law of Mrs. Mitchell. I know that it is the intention of John Mitchell to enter Phillips this coming Fall; although I am not sufficiently conversant with the matter to fill out his application or give you any detailed information as to the class which he desires to enter nor the course which he will pursue. Mrs. Mitchell and her son sail from Liverpool on September 7th and will reach Boston probably about September 15th. It is her intention to at once take John to Andover, so that he should reach there in advance of your opening session. Yours very truly, Arthur Young Dr. Alfred E.

Some gain has been made during the last half the term, though if I understand John’s instructors correctly, this has not been pronounced during the past few weeks. The situation does not seem to be sufficiently improved to justify us in withdrawing the boy’s probation but we shall permit him to return next term under restrictions, and in the hope that he will put forth even greater efforts to make good past deficiencies and to maintain a standing that will prove satisfactory to all concerned. I am inclined to believe that the advice and suggestions he will receive from you during the holidays will prove a great factor in bringing about this result.
