Dear Mrs. Young:
The enclosed report of John’s work tells a somewhat familiar story of carelessness and lack of endeavor. At the same time there have been spasmodic evidences of interest with consequent temporary improvement. If we did not realize how immature the boy actually is, we would feel it necessary to require his withdrawal. As it is, we still hope to be able to bring him to his senses and to get him fairly started. Consequently, we are ready to make further efforts in this direction and shall allow him to continue with us with the hope and expectation that he will realize the danger of his present course and will show himself more of a man in the fure. His period of probation will be continued, and we must of necessity reserve the right to require his withdrawal without further notice in case he clearly shows himself unwilling to meet our requirements. We shall of course do everything in our power to prevent such a catastrophe.
Very truly yours.
