My dear Mrs. Mitchell, It has been a source of a very great disappointment to me to find that John has recently developed an attitude of carelessness in his work that has placed him in a very dangerous situation with relation to his standing in the school. The spirit of play, perfectly natural and perfectly legitimate, has apparently been allowed to run riot with the consequent undermining of school work and school standing. Because of the extent to which this spirit has developed and the attendant results our teachers feel that the case should be handled rather severely for the boy’s interest. In consequence, we have withdrawn for the balance of the term the privilege which we are accustomed to grant our boys in the ways of out of town and evening excuse, and have warned John that a continuation for his present attitude and his present poor work might eventually XX him to a point where it would not be wise or possible for us to permit him to continue his connection with the school. It is with the deepest regret that I find it necessary to report such a situation to you, but I am very hopeful that our combined efforts will furnish all the pressure and incentive needed to spur the boy to greater effort with the improved results that are easily within his ability secure, and that we all so earnestly desire to see. I do not believe that John has begun to realise how seriously he has allowed his work to be impaired by his interest in play and attraction outside his studies. With kindest personal regards, believe me Very truly yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Harriet D.

Mr. John Morrison, Boston, Mass. Dear sir: I am sorry to have to advise you that your boy’s work thus far this term has been far from satisfactory to the school authorities, and that as a result we have deemed it necessary to withdraw from him for the present the privilege of out- of -town and evening excuses which we are accustomed to grant with some freedom to boys whose work and standing are satisfactory. We trust that this step may prove to be all that is necessary to bring about the improvement we desire, and that our next reports to you nay be of a much more favorable nature. Very truly yours.

You boy’s case has come before us for more careful consideration, and we find that owing to an excessive schedule and its rather unfortunate, though necessary, arrangement in the matter of the destruction of hours, we have perhaps been a little too exacting in our demands upon the boy. Consequently it has seemed fair to revise this schedule somewhat, and in the meantime not to deprive the boy of the privilege of excuses, as we had at first deemed it wise to de. I trust that this slight readjustment may prove all that is necessary to improve the situation. Very truly yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns John Morrison
