Tu to Dr. Alfred E. Stearns. Agrees Kong Y. Tu should study one year in business school or college to learn as much as possible. Will begin searching for a position in China. Explains why this decision is beneficial for Kong Y. Tu. Prefers Kong Y. Tu return to China after the one year, unless Stearns believes Kong Y. Tu should stay another year, based on his progress. States Kong Y. Tu could only stay two years at most, due to financial and social reasons. Prefers Kong Y. Tu stay with a Christian family to learn manners and get spiritual influence.

I certainly do not wish him to attend the Winworth Institute, which is capable of turning out only artisans such as carpenters and mechanics. At the same time I fully agree with you that it is too much to expect Kong to acquire at his age and within the limited time at his disposal a thorough knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry, which are essential if he goes to a flying school either to learn the art of flying or the profession of aviation engineering. The alternative in the circumstances is for Kong to study for one year in a business school or college, and during the time, learn as much possible such things as book-keeping, typewriting, business terms as exchanges or bills of laddings, etc and sufficient business English for correspondence. At the end of one year he should return to China and go into business. In the meantime, I will look out for him for a suitable position in the Customs Administration, the Postal Administration, banks, or the Ministry of Communications or other Ministries. This decision of ours is highly beneficial to him. In the first place, high scholarship, which it is so difficult for him to acquire, is not absolutely needed in the preparation for his future work. Secondly, business training ought to be of great interest to him. Thirdly, upon the completion of another year’s study a position will be awaiting him in China. While I still have many friends of influence, I would like to start Kong’s business life as early as possible. On the other hand, if he spends too many years in America, and even if he learns much, there is a certain amount of disadvantage for him should I retire from public life or for some reasons should I be unable to give him assistance in the way of proper introduction. At the end of one year, if you think Kong has made much progress and had better stay in the business school for another year in order to learn more, I will be glad to comply with your request. But in that case, at most he can remain in America for altogether two years from the present time, for my financial situation will not permit me to allow him to study for a longer period, and besides it is unwise for him to be away from China too long, as I have explained elsewhere in this letter. Kong had better go to a business school immediately if you think that this is the best for him; otherwise have him to attend to business school beginning with the summer vacation. Another request I would like to make is this: It is better for Kong to live in a Christian family where he can get some spiritual or religious influence and learn good manners which will mean and must mean much to him in his future life. Boston being a big city offers to a young man of his age much temptation, and it is the best thing for him to be away from temptation by living with a religious family and always having some useful thing to do. Kindly help my son to secure a good family with which he can board and also stay there. In conclusion I wish to thank you again for the kindness in looking after the welfare of my son, who I am certain is highly appreciative of it and will be more appreciative after he rubs shoulders with the world. With my best regards. Yours very sincerely, Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

Tu, November 5, 1929 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Dr. Alfred E. Stearns to Mr. K.Y. Tu, November 5, 1929 Description An account of the resource Typed letter sent from Dr. Alfred E. Stearns to K.Y. Tu. States the bill for the high school course won't be paid until instructions from Tu's father are given. Explains last instruction were for Tu to return to China, but if Tu objected strongly enough, a position in a trade organization or business school should be acquired. Chastises Tu for returning high school without consulting with Stearns and going against instructions given by Tu's father. States Tu's interest in social and athletic activities is the reason Tu did not succeed at Huntington School. Returns school bill.

My last instructions from your father were to the effect that you were to return to China, but that if you objected too strongly to this he would continue to authorize to meet necessary expenses only on condition that you secured a position in some trade organization or business concern, like the Ford school, in order to learn some useful trade that would be of value to you on return to China. Our correspondence at the time shows that your father’s position was made very clear to you and was thoroughly understood by you. You yourself assured me that you would seek for such an opening at once. The fact that you have gone back to high school at your age and without even taking the trouble to advice me in advance is only another indication of your unwillingness to cooperate with your father and me and carry out instructions. In all my dealings with scores of Chinese boys I have never been treated in this way before and you cannot blame me, therefore, for having lost faith in your reliability. Further, the Huntington School authorities themselves assured me that the main reason why you had not attained greater success in your work with them was your interest in outside social and athletic activities. Needless to say, I would not be either legally or normally justified, especially in view of your father’s explicit instructions to me, in advancing funds for the purpose you have specified. It seems to me nothing short of a crime that at your age you should be willing even to continue with elementary high school work which in itself is going to accomplish little or nothing towards fitting you for a reasonable position in your home land or for rendering to your country that higher service which your father cherished when he made the sacrifice involved in sending you to America for education. I hate to write you in this vein but no other course in open to me under the circumstances. I am consequently returning your school bill for which neither I nor your father has assumed responsibility. Needless to say, this situation distresses me greatly, but I have pleaded with you so often and in the friendliest fashion that I feel it necessary now to speak my mind plainly and promptly, however much you may resent my words and however much it may hurt me to speak them. My obligation is primarily to your father, as you must readily recognize. Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.
