I do not know what more any of us can do beyond continuing our admonitions, warnings and words of encouragement and continuing our prayer but the boy may soon show signs of developing maturity and wisdom. In spite of his size and appearance, John is still a good deal of child and this seems to be at the bottom of all his troubles. It is hard to look at him and believe this period of extreme youth xx can go on such longer. I am hopeful that we shall soon be able XXX Perhaps summer tutoring may help the situation.

Mrs. Arthur Young, Milwaukee, Wisc My dear Mrs. Young: To my great satisfaction, John’s instructors report considerable improvement in the boy’s work and attitude this term. In the hops that encouragement will help the case still more we have decided to withdraw John from probation, and to extend to him for the balance of year the full privileges of the school. At the same time, we believe it to be wise to defer until the end of the school year the final decision bearing on the boy’s return next fall. It is still a question in our minds whether your brother has developed sufficient maturity and purpose in his work to make it wise for him to continue his course. A year in a seller, stricter school may seem necessary. Of course, xx hope that he will be able to go on with us and finish his course without interruption. If any other than this is recommended, it will be done wholly on the basis of what we believe the boy's best interests and welfare demand. Very sincerely yours, Principal Dr. Alfred E.

Mitchell. Aug23, 1910, Meadowmere Milwaukee, Wis. My dear Mrs. Mitchell, Your letter reached Andover while I was on my vacation. Although it was forwarded to me, my location in the wilderness caused a long delay in its receipt. It finally came just before I was about to start on a flying trip to Andover, and hence I am answering it from my office. I do not think I may add much to what I have already writ ten to you and Mr. Fox in relation to John. I know the boy can do well, and I sincerely hope he will do so if he returns to Andover. That, however, is not saying that he will, and I confess that I still have grave doubts on this score. John seems to be easily influenced, and if he happened to fall in with just the right kind of associates, his progress and development would Undoubtedly be in the right direction. Last year his tendencies seemed always to be to select the weaker members of the student body as his intimate friends. On several occasions boys who have gone to my brother at Mount Vernon have come back and finished their courses here with credit. It is difficult to know, however, just what school to recommend under the circumstances. Most schools naturally do not care to take a boy for a year only. I have heard excellent things of the Choate School at Wallingford, Conn., also of the Salisbury School at Salisbury, Conn., and am inclined to think that the right conditions could be found in any of the three mentioned. I am sorry that I cannot be of more definite assistance to you, but I confess that I feel somewhat in the dark myself as to the best course to recommend. It always disappoints me to have a boy give up hero, even temporarily, and yet I know that in many cases it is wise. If I only felt that John had developed sufficient will power of his own to carry out his good intentions, I would gladly encourage him to come back, in the hope that he would make good. His seeming immaturity in some matters, however, is the cause of concern to us all, and really forms the basis for my misgiving. Trusting that you will not hesitate to write me if the problem still troubles you, believe me, with kind personal regards, Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Harriet D. Mitchell John Mitchell https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/a19d193b979d84f6bef7151561625a53.jpg 5c50953314b294bf851f568afda2b3e2 https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/b15b0cbf229ef2dc2dbb956604b722ec.jpg d72333fc37e9e83a655963ad3aa19645 https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/4e586d4564975eab25444de4fe234553.jpg 6b3c3633a3e7f0321fd2985299f05ba3 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
