Pittsburgh, Pa. My dear Chen: Your ward, Mr. T.K.Yang, has shown conclusively that he is not ready for the work of this school. The boy’s present knowledge of English and his ability to use it are so limited that it is practically impossible for him to understand even what is going on in the classes he attends. His case is identical with that of many a Chinese boy we have had here in past years, and in all cases we have recommended the same course; namely, a year in some small school here the stress can be laid on English and the maximum amount of personal attention can be given the boy in his work. This is very clearly what Mr.Yang needs at this time, for it is simply a waste of his time and money to go on here at present under his existing handicap. If I can aid you in any way in finding such a school as I have in mind, I shall be glad to do so. Of course I hope that, when the boy has become fully prepared to most our requirements, he will be able to return and with an assurance of making a real success of his work.

I understand perfectly your anxiety and the difficulty of your problem, but I am still hopeful that we an make the road easy for both you and Mr. Yang and aid you in handling the situation in a way that shall bring about the best results for all concerned. It is very difficult at this time of year to find suitable schools for boys who need such special attention as your ward evidently requires. My brother has a small school in Mont Vernon, New Hampshire, known as the Stearns School, to which a good many of our boys requiring special attention have gone from time to time to return to us later and finish out their courses with credit. Among these fellows have been several foreigners including a few Chinese. I believe therefore that the problem could be handled perhaps as well by him as by any school known to me though I shall be glad to look further if you deem it wise. Possibly Dummer Academy at South Byfield would handle the case satisfactorily. There is also a school up in northern New Hampshire known as the New Hampton Institute where I imagine the expense would be considerably less, and where I have reason to think that good effective work would be done. So far as the financial obligations are concerned let me assure you that we shall make no charges beyond the actual time of the boy’s connection with the school. This is not our customary practice, but we are always glad to make exceptions of this kind in the cases of foreigners who naturally would not be expected to be able to decide so easily in advance their fitness or unfitness to meet the school standards. In view of this arrangement there need to be no pecuniary loss involved in the shift of schools at this time. Please let me hear from you if I can be of further help in the matter.

I appreciate very much your kind help and sympathetic advice in regard to the shifting of school of Yang. As the time is getting nearer to the end of the term, the shifting should be done as soon as possible. Hence I believe it is unwise for me to spend any more time in choosing among schools that are equally good. Among those you suggested to me the Stearns School should seem to be first considered. The easiness of handling a case that is familiar to the school and the readiness of shifting by you will make this school more preferred. Will you talk this thing over with your brother and kindly tell me the following: 1. How far is Mont Vernon from Andover? 2. How much money have I to pay to the school for the first term? 3. Can Yang be taken in there as the first-year student? 4. Is there dormitory for student? 5. Do they treat the students just as strictly as your school and take the equal care of the same? As the matter can be settled. I wish I could come to Andover myself. But at present I am in a very busy condition that I cannot ask for even a short leave. Any way I will try my best and wish to hear from you first, With best wishes to you and thank you in advance. Very cordially yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns T.K.Yang T.Y.

I have talked with my brother at Mont Vernon and find that he has room to take Mr. Yang for the balance of the year and that he will be glad to do so. Consequently I have arranged with Mr. Yang to leave tomorrow for Mont Vernon and I hope and believe he will receive for the balance of the year just the kind of training that he especially needs. Mr. Yang’s actual expense here will amount to approximately $120.00, which will include his board, tuition, etc., as well as for the actually time he has been with us. My brother advises me that he will make his charge on the same basis, to begin when the boy makes his contact with the new school. Mont Vernon is about forty miles from Andover. It is a small home school of some thirty or thirty-five boys who live in dormitory houses in charge of resident instructors. The boys are well taken care of and lead a healthy and wholesome life. The several Chinese boys who have ben there in the past, and who have later come to us, have given good accounts of themselves, which strengthens my belief that Mr. Yang will find just the kind of influences and instruction there that he especially needs at this time.
