After careful consideration of the case of my son, K. Y. Tu, the best thing in the circumstances is for him to return to China and do some work so that in his daily contact with fellow beings in the business world he may find his education inadquate, and finding it inadequate, may have a greater desire for study. So I have sent you the following telegram "Alfred Stearns, Philips Academy, Andover , Massachusetts, Kong returns China fund insufficient cable Commission Tientsin Tu" In regard to the last sentence, I mean that if my boy does not have sufficient money with him to buy railway and steamer ship tickets, please cable to me as to the additional amount that is needed so that I can cable it to you. What you have done for my boy during the last four years has earned my everlasting gratitude. His failure to make progress in his studies has been entirely due to his own faults which include, I believe, his fondness of play and his lack of a serious purpose of life. I want to thank you again for your kindness in guarding and guiding him during his stay in the United States, and as I am sure you will continue taking an interest in him, I will write you from time to time as to his progress after his return to China.

As I have already answered them in good part in my letter of November 26, I have not much to add at this time. I found Kong heartbroken over the decision that he return to China and he pleaded with me so earnestly to be given a little longer chance to make good hear that I yielded and allowed him to transfer to the local high school in the hope that his work there, which is distinctly easier than the work in our own school, might prove within his reach and permit him to secure the high school diploma which would gain him admission to a higher institution for more special work. I talked the matter over with the principal of the high school who promised to follow the case carefully and keep me fully advised as to the boy’s progress and prospects. I know, too that several of the teachers in the school who are well known to me have gone out of their way to give Kong personal instruction and help. I have not yet received sufficient information from those who are working with the boy to enable me to determine definitely whether the experiment is likely to prove a success or not. Such incomplete records as have come to me thus far have not been very encouraging, I must admit. My fear and belief are that Kong is a bit too old to handle elementary work and retain permanently the values which he should derive from it. Of his spirit and effort of late, I can speak only in the highest terms. The boy is tremendously in earnest and distressed beyond words that he has not be able to make better progress thus far. I hope every earnestly that you will approve of the plane adopted, and I am assuming, in view of your cabled message, that once we are assured here that the desired end cannot be attained, the authority to send the boy back to China is still mine. Unless I hear from you to the contrary, I shall act on this understanding. As this is our Christmas holiday season, please accept the season’s greetings from me, and my heartiest good wishes for the coming New Year. Very sincerely yours. Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E.

Tong Chihli River Commission Tientsin, China My dear Mr. Tu On the receipt of your cablegram of November 22, which reads as follows, “Kong returns China Fund insufficient cable Commission,” I sent for Kong and we had a long and serious discussion of his problem. The boy is greatly distressed at the thought of giving up his studies in America and returning to the home land. He feels that to do this would be to admit defeat and that the step must necessarily prove humiliating and distressing to you. He has begged, and most earnestly, for a longer trial and under somewhat different conditions, and, after considering all of the circumstances involved, I have felt disposed to grant hie request, a decision which I sincerely hope will not prove unsatisfactory to you. The character and extent of the work at Phillips Academy are recognised to be of a more exacting order than that prevailing in the average American high school. Further, our high schools provide several courses, not all of them leading to college admission. Those which do not have the college as their goal are in the main considerably easier than the others. Since the dental schools, which admit students who have not secured college degrees, specify only that the applicant shall have had an equivalent of a high school course, it seems evident that Kong would be able to gain such admission through the medium of a high school course with much greater ease than would be possible if he were to continue his studies at Phillips Academy. Kong has, therefore, asked to be given a chance to try some such plan as this, for a time at least, and I have felt inclined to consent to his request. With this understanding, Kong recently consulted the principal of our local high school, who happens to be a good personal friend of mine, and I, myself, have talked with the principal so that the nature of the problem should be clearly understood by him. He has expressed his interest and will allow Kong to try out the wit in the high school,for the balance of the current term at least, or long enough to enable us all to form a proper opinion as to the chances of success* Under this arrangement Kong will live in a quiet and respectable boarding house in the town not far from the school where I feel sure he will be under good influences and where he should find it comparatively easy to study without serious interruption. I may even be able to get him more attractive quarters in some good home, provided it seems likely that the new plan is to work out in an acceptable way. Kong understands that a year or two hence he may even be required to earn his own way and without material help from home, but he seems ready, if not actually eager to face a hard handicap even of this kind, which testifies in my judgment to the sincerity of his purpose and the good spirit with which he undertakes the new schedule. Under these conditions I feel that it is only fair to give the boy this further chance, and I sincerely trust that you will approve. Of course if this plan, too, fails to work out satisfactorily, I shall assume that your cable message of November 22 gives me full authority to instruct the boy to give up his efforts here and return to China. With kindest personal regards, believe me Very sincerely yours Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

My dear Tu: Your Letter of February 1st, which I found on my desk on my return from New York last night, comes as a real surprise. With your father’s instructions in my mind, to have you return to China, what am I to do under the circumstances? Unless you are to become a dentist through something outside the usual channels, it seems utterly foolish for you to attempt to go on with your studies. Your father would share my opinion on that, I am confident. If there are ways by which the knowledge of dentistry may be acquired without following the usual procedure, then. I should be ready to discuss the problem with you and with your father and perhaps sanction the new plan. As it is, I can’t in Justice to your father use the money which he has sent me for a definite purpose in the work you have suggested unless I know what that work actually is and can be assured that it is worth while. It present I can see no good in it; nor can I possibly understand how you can hope to meet the necessary expenses required without help from home. Before I notify, probably by cable, your father of the latest developments, it is imperative that I should learn more from you as to just what these new plans are that you have in mind. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.
