Mr. Yung Kwai&#13;
Chinese Legation	&#13;
Washington D.C.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Tung: &#13;
&#13;
Thank yon for your letter of September 15 and a copy of the&#13;
telegram earlier sent me.&#13;
&#13;
Admiral Tsai’s two children arrived in Andover yesterday with their friend Mr. Young. They are most friendly, and I am sure that I am going to enjoy new contacts with them. Unfortunately most of the schools do not open until later in the month and some early in October. It seems clear that both of the newcomers should have a year in smallschools, what we call the home school type, where they can stress English and hence be qualified a year later to meet all of the demands in larger schools where they will be thrown naturally on their own resources and will be required to have a good working knowledge of the language. This is the policy that I have pursued with many of my Chinese wards in the past, and I have consequently arranged to place the Tsais into good schools of the character mentioned. Both of these schools are scheduled to open some two weeks hence but have agreed to make provision for these foreigners at least a week is advance of the dates of opening. In the meantime, I shall allow them to stay here in Andover, probably at the Phillips Inn which is a quiet little hotel controlled by the school just on the edge of our own school campus and is every way a wholesome place for them to be.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours&#13;

Explains finding homes for early Chinese that influence American life and education are rare.  Relies on smaller home-schools to prepare Chinese students.  Asks if it necessary to enroll children in same school as co-ed schools are hard to find.  Has 2 small home school in mind, which aren't in the same town, but are close by.  Will also try to keep school expense reasonable.  Asks about the requirements by the Department of Labor in regards to approved schools.  Explains Andover was not on this list until the previous year, but took Chinese students many years before.</text>

                <text>Hon. Sao-Ke Alfred Sze&#13;
Chinese Legation&#13;
Washington, D.C.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Dr. Sze:&#13;
&#13;
On my return to Andover Saturday, I found on my desk your two telegrams relating to the children of Admiral Tsai and wired you at once: “Wil be glad to do what I can for children of Admiral Tsai.”&#13;
This morning’s mail brings me your letter of July 7 with further details, and I am writing simply to say that I shall be ready to do everything in my power to carry out Admiral Tsai’s wishes, though I am not sure that I am wholly competent to handle effectively the problems of Chinese girls. Under the circumstances, though, you may count on me for whatever help you feel I am competent to offer. &#13;
&#13;
A word as to the schools and surroundings to be selected for the first year. As you probably know, it is almost impossible to find the type of homes today which welcomed the early Chinese to this country and which figured so influentially in their American life and education. Where there are such homes, the domestic problems have so completely changed as to make it very difficult to add to the size of the family circles without upsetting the kitchen, if you can understand what I mean. For the past ten or fifteen years I have found it increasingly difficult to make arrangements of this kind for boys who needed just this kind of a start, and in consequence I have had to turn to smaller schools of the home school variety. Such a course, it seems to me, would have to be adopted in the present instance, though here again there are some obstacles, as you have intimated in your letter to Admiral Tsai. &#13;
&#13;
May I ask one or two definite questions. Would you consider it necessary for the two visitors to be enrolled in the same school or even in the same town? C-educational schools, in this part of the country at least, which can be unreservedly endorsed are very hard to find. Further separate schools for the girl and the boy, if they are to be in the same town, must again limit radically the range of the selection. Under the circumstances, I should be disposed to recommend two small home schools, not necessarily in the same town but not too far apart, permitting at least occasional visits back and forth. Do you think I am right in assuming that such an arrangement would, under the circumstances, meet best the necessities of the case?&#13;
&#13;
Here again the question of expense naturally enters in, but I will try, of course, to select schools where the expenses would be kept as reasonable as possible and which would at the same time be regarded as first-class. As you doubtless know, a good many of these schools, especially for girls, today charge from $1200 to $1500 for the regular tuition alone. &#13;
&#13;
I am not quite sure about the steps that must be taken with the Department of Labor in regard to securing so-called approved schools. It is my impression that in the past these Chinese students have some directly to me, giving Phillips Academy as the school which they propose to enter and then when not quite ready for our work entering temporarily other schools recommended by me but not necessarily on the approved list of the Department of Labor. As a matter of fact, Phillips Academy was never on this approved list until last year when, through the question of the return of one of our boys resident in Jerusalem, the matter was called to my attention and the necessary official requirements met. So far as I can recall this particular factor has never come up in connection with some sixty or seventy Chinese boys who have come to Andover during my connection with the school. Very probably the requirements are more exacting today than they have been in the past. In any case, I am anxious to do nothing that shall leave any possibility of embarrassment lately to either Admiral Tsai or his children. &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours&#13;

                <text>CHINESE LEGATION&#13;
WASHINGTON&#13;
July 8, 1926&#13;
Dr. Alfred E. Steams, Principal&#13;
Phillips Academy &#13;
Andover, Massachusetts&#13;
&#13;
My dear Dr. Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
I have just sent you the following telegram:&#13;
"Admiral Tsai Tingkan Chinese Minister Foreign Affairs desires to place daughter aged eighteen and son aged fifteen under your charge as guardian. They will arrive Unitedstates about September first. Can you find suitable school for them together for first year. I hope you will give me favorable answer for communication to Admiral Tsai."&#13;
&#13;
The above telegram is the result of previous correspondence on the subject. The Admiral wrote me on April 10th in regard to his children as follows:&#13;
"My daughter, Yunkang, who is now IS years old and my son, Pokang, 15 years old, are booked to sail for the States via Seattle Aug. 12th on board the "President Jackson". They are not very advanced in their English studies and must first be tuitioned in some private or preparatory school before they go to school and college. My object in sending them to America is because I want them to acquire a thorough knowledge of the English language. While in America I want them to be surrounded by good moral influence. Neither do I want them to be living together with Chinese students and talk Chinese day and night. X should like them to live in some American home and be treated as we were treated, as a member of the family. The fault with many of &#13;
the returned students is that they have not a sound knowledge of English and know little of the spirit and soul of the American people. The strength of the American people rests in their religious and moral attitude.  Take this foundation away and America would be little better than atheistic Russia.&#13;
&#13;
"Can you place my children in some preparatory school or private home either in Washington or some small town of 20,000 or 30,000 inhabitants in New England, preferably Connecticut or Massachusetts? I should like them to live together for the first year or two. If you do this for me and let me know how much it requires for their expenses for a year X will mrke all necessary financial arrangements* China is now a Republic and without education a republic is a dangerous form of government for an ignorant mob.&#13;
&#13;
"My daughter has short hair, but X like short hair better than I do short skirts."&#13;
&#13;
The following is my reply, dated May 19th:&#13;
I have just received your letter of April 10th asking me to find suitable schools for your son and daughter. I am in perfect sympathy with your purpose to give to your children an American education such as you had the good fortune to get years ago. But since you were here ideas about education have changed a great deal in this country. Furthermore, the American Immigration Act of 1924, has made it rather hard for Chinese students to come to the United States although its provisions apply to all foreign students alike.&#13;
&#13;
The requirements for a student applying for admission to the United States are: (1) that he must be at least 15 years old; (2) that he must have financial means to support himself as a student while in this country; and (3) that he must attend a school approved by the Department of Labor. &#13;
&#13;
"Your boy and girl will have no difficulty in complying with the first two requirements. Arrangements will have to be made with some schools approved by the Department of Labor to enroll them as students before they can be admitted into the United States. I would suggest that you place the matter in the hands of Dr. Alfred L. Stearns, Principal of Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, who, I am sure, will be able to place your boy and girl in suitable schools. I shall be glad to approach Dr. Stearns on the subject if you desire to have me do so.&#13;
&#13;
"It is important also to furnish them with Section 6 Certificates as students, duly visaed by an American Consul. These certificates are issued by Commissioners of Foreign Affairs. If they are not provided with proper papers they will have trouble after their arrival in this country.&#13;
&#13;
"As for allowance, I would suggest that you give each not less than $1,500.00 American currency a year. Of course when you were here you needed only about one third as much for expenses but times have changed since then."&#13;
&#13;
This letter has doubtless just reached Admiral Tsai, and the following cablegram, received this morning, is his answer:&#13;
"Please request Stearns Andover admit my children Pokang and Yunkang as pupils cable me."&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours&#13;

Dr. Alfred E. Stearns, Principal&#13;
Phillips Academy Andover, Massachusetts&#13;
&#13;
My dear Dr. Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
I have received your letter of September 11th addressed to the Minister about Admiral Tsai’s two children.&#13;
&#13;
They arrived at Washington yesterday. As Madame Sze was expected to return from Ithaca this morning they waited until today to see her before leaving for Andover. I have asked Mr. C. K. Young, Secretary of this Legation, to accompany them to Andover and introduce them to you.&#13;
&#13;
I have just sent you a telegram about their coming, a copy of which is herewith enclosed.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours&#13;
Yung Kwai</text>

Hon. Sao-Ke Alfred Sze&#13;
Chinese Legation&#13;
Washington, D. C.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Dr. Sze:&#13;
&#13;
On my return to Andover I find your letter of September 9 and&#13;
the accompanying check $2,000.00, which 1 shall hold for the expenses of Admiral Tsai’s two children. Please send me the names of these two newcomers in order that I may be able to handle their accounts intelligently.&#13;
&#13;
Our school opens the first of this coming week, and if the boy&#13;
is going to be able to meet cur requirements here without some further preparation, he should report at the earliest possible date. Of course I have not been able to make any definite arrangements yet for either of those travelers, since I am wholly ignorant of the extent and character of their previous work. A large number of our Chinese students who have come to us in the past have had to put in at least a year in small schools in order to get the foundation, especially in English, required to insure successful work in the larger classses of a school of this kind. If, therefore, you will instruct the Tsais to report here as speedily as possible, I shall be glad to go over their cases very carefully with them and then decide what the wisest course to adopt for the current year is likely to be.&#13;
&#13;
I am sending this letter to Mr. Tung Kwai, as requested, in case you may have sailed for Europe before its receipt.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours.&#13;
&#13;

My dear Dr. Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
I wrote you yesterday about Admiral Tsai’s children and also sent you a check for $2,000.00 for their maintenance.&#13;
&#13;
I forgot to ask you when your school will open and how soon you will be ready to receive them. I am inclined to think that they should come to you as soon as you are able to receive them, even before the opening of school, in order that you may find out how advanced they are in their studies.&#13;
&#13;
As I am sailing for Europe, will you please notify Mr. Yung Kwai when you can receive Admiral Tsai’s children.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;

Dear Dr. Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
I wish to inform you that Admiral Tsai’s two children have already arrived and will leave for Washington tomorrow. I enclose herewith a check for $2,000 for the children’s expenses and also copy of my letter to Admiral Tsai. You will receive from me either during or immediately after the Christmas vacation another sum of about the same amount for their maintenance. &#13;
&#13;
I shall sail for Europe next Saturday and shall not be back in Washington until about the middle or the latter part of November. In the meantime if you have anything special with reference to Admiral Tsai’s children, please communicate with my secretary, C.K. Young, at the Legation. &#13;
&#13;
Yours sincerely&#13;
Sao-Ke Alfred Sze</text>
