Cell Camp Otter Pittsburg, N.H. My dear Mr. Cell: Thank you for your letter of July 15 which I have been unable to answer before today. The detailed statement of Tu’s expense at camp was apparently not enclosed, but I am sending you a cheek for the $300.00, the amount mentioned by you as likely to cover the boy's charges with you for the summer. Please let me have a receipt at your convenience. I agree with you most emphatically that Tu is much better off under your care at camp than he could have been in Boston. The boy apparently has very little idea of the value of money, and I have had a hard fight with him ever since he has been in my charge to force him to keep his expenses within reasonable bounds. His father is not at all wealthy and making a good bit of a sacrifice to give the boy an American education, naturally I am all the more eager on this account that Tu himself should appreciate the situation and do his part. I note your suggestion as to the possibility of making my site on the lake available for your camp purposes, but I am afraid such a scheme would hardly prove practicable. I expect to be at the lake, however, again next month and shall be glad to talk the matter over with you in person. In the meantime accept my best wishes for a most successful session, and believe me Very sincerely yours. Camp Otter Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Mr. George C.

Y. Tu’s wish I am sending you a statement of his camp expenses. It seems that Peter Kiang, a Chinese student at Boston University, and Tu are friends and they planned to stay in Boston this summer at the dormitory. But on looking into their plans, it seemed clear to me that Both of the boys would be far better off in a good camp. Peter was already on my force as help last year and I brought Tu along on half tuition. Tu has gone over his entire expense account with me and it seems that his recent purchases and his prospective expense for summer, as near as I can estimate it, will be $300. I do not know what your method of handling his funds is and I have advised him to communicate with you. He.wishes the money to be sent to me and to have help in applying it to his needs. He needs guidance in the use of his funds if my brief acquaintance with him is an indication. Camp Otter is steadily growing and its future seems secure. Would you be interested to make your site here on the lake available for camp purposes in consideration of an interest in Camp Otter? Very sincerely yours Camp Otter Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

H. K. Ta The Ministry of Navy Peking, China My dear Mr.Tu: Thank you for your letter of July 19 which reached me during the summer holiday. I have had several long talks with your boy during the summer and am very much disturbed over his seeming inability to assume responsibilities and to treat his finances in a business-like and careful way. The director of the camp where he has been this past summer told me at the end of their session that your son was the most trying boy they had in their group, because he was constantly seeking to avoid meeting the customary regulations and offering all kinds of excuses for his delinquencies. He is careless and impulsive and a bit stubborn when an effort is made to bring him to reason, and I find It next to impossible to get him to keep his expenses within reasonable limits. I have assured him, however, that, unless he could give a better account of himself in matters of this kind, I should strongly advise you to call him back to China and give up the attempt to secure the American education which you so much desire for him. I told him further of your new appointment and of the statements made in your last letter to me to the effect that it would be more necessary than ever for him to curtail expenses, but I am afraid this made little impression upon him. I dislike exceedingly to write you in such a discouraging vein, but I feel that it is only fair that you should know the exact situation and the difficulties which confront me in this particular case. I have told you son that out of over sixty cases of Chinese boys with whom I have dealt intimately within the last twenty-five years, I was forced to class him with only two other boys who had caused me serious anxiety. I begged him for your sake and for his own to change his attitude and make a real effort to cooperate with us in the endeavors that we were making wholly with a view to his own best progress and interest in the end. I can only hope that this coming year will reveal a better spirit on his part and that I may have much more favorable reports for you in the future. Very sincerely years Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E.

My dear Mr.MacDaniel: I have your letter of September 17. Thank you for writing me so frankly of my ward’s status. One thing, however, troubles me, and I must ask for a revision of the arrangement made and that is the high priced room assigned tb to. The boy’s father has recently written me that he has accepted, practically without compensation, a position with the present Peking Government and this will make it harder than ever for him to keep his boy in this country. He has asked me to curb expenses to the limit, and I am trying to carry out his request to me, although Tu seems to aid me very little in this particular matter, as he is naturally a spendthrift. The director of the camp where Tu passed the summer told me only recently that he was the hardest boy they had to handle in the whole outfit. A small single room is ample for Tu’s needs, whatever the matter of baggage and property he happens to carry with him. May I ask, therefore, that such assignment be made at once and notice of arrangement sent me. With the understanding that this will be done, I am returning the bill rendered for revision. I am not yet aware as to the character of the expenditure of the $50.00 sent you last year. Isn’t it t possible to keep me a little more fully advised? Tu wired me constantly for money to meet expenses that I had assumed would be taken care of by this deposit. Naturally I hesitate to send another check for a similar amount until I have some general idea, at least, as to the nature of its disposition. May I count, therefore, on you to advise me more fully on this point. Frankly my chief criticism in the past year is that Tu seems to have worked too much on the sympathies of his friends at Lima, who seemingly have not fully seized up his weakness or appreciated the necessity of imposing him pretty rigid limitations on his expenditures and vigorous pressure to keep him to his best intellectual effort. During the last twenty-five years I have had scores of these Chinese boys as my personal wards and I am well acquainted with the particular type, representing, I am glad to say, a very small proportion of the total number, that Tu represents. Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Frank MacDaniel K.Y.

E. Stearns, Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts. My dear Dr. Stearns: Mr. K. Y. Tu, your ward, has returned to our Institution for another year. He has visited me in the office, and he seems to be more mature and has definite ideas concerning his course of study which we will seek to arrange for him. His schedule for this coming year will be as follows: English II, History A, French I, Grammar, Elocution II. I think that Tu has the ability to carry this course unless the collateral reading required by New York State for English and History would give him too much reading with his limited acquaintance with the English Language. However, I feel inclined to allow him to make the effort. He wishes to take Algebra Review; now, he cannot get into the regular course for the first half year, but we expect to offer this also, the second half year and I felt that I might defer his work until that time. He seems to be earnest in his spirit and anxious in his disposition to get the largest benefits out of his work this coming year. Our teachers are sympathetic toward him and if he does his part of the work I feel he will get good results. Mr. Tu has one of our large, comfortable rooms which ordinarily sells for a double room, and we are severely taxed for room space this year as we opened with a full enrolment. This room should bring me $1,000 with two boys, but I am charging Tu $700 for the same; $25.00 for general fees, and a book deposit of $15.00. I think all things, considered, he is happier rooming alone. He has a great deal of baggage and property, and could not easily be adjusted in a smaller room, therefore, I have assigned him to this room with the understanding that he will pay $700. I am enclosing a bill for one-half year. I hope this meets with your approval, and I will be pleased to receive your early remittance. The amount of $50.00 which you sent me last year, has been carefully expended and I will send you an itemized account just as soon as the rush days are over so you may see how that fund was administered last year. Tu and I thought it would be wise to restore the fund to that amount or $100.00 so that when he wishes things on short notice I might have money here for such purposes. He seems to be quite happy here. He is law-abiding, and quite amenable, and is content here. Very truly yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Frank MacDaniel K.Y.

My dear Tu: I have your letter of recent date, asking me to send Dr. MacDaniel some more money. I wrote Dr.MacDaniel several days ago, explaining that I could not very well send more money to him as a deposit until I had received an accounting for that sent him last year. Certainly his business methods are unusual. I can’t understand why he did not send me a statement long ago. Again I wrote Dr. MacDaniel, saying that I was not willing to pay the extra price of a double room for you. I am sure your father can’t afford to pay this extra and unnecessary expense. Either take a roommate or take a single room, even if the latter does mean crowding your possessions a bit. There is certainly no reason why you should indulge in an extravagance of this kind any more than an American boy. There is hardly an American father who sends his boy to school who would permit it. I am sending you a small check to cover immediate incidentals. I wish more and more that you were in some other school where I could keep in closer touch and where I would know a little more what is actually going on. Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y. Tu
