The sch )Ols OF Dunkirk were gro wiz q
In number and efficiency ss the young
man was growing to manhood, aud his
desires for good education kept pace
with his growth and years, In order to
enable him TO attend school longer, he
organized night school for the young
appren sioes in the machine shop and
in Brooks Locomotive works.
If our space permitted We would Ike
to dWell upon the story OF the straggles
Of this young man; how he went from
one place Of employment TO another,
working faithfully, earning and saw
ing, but holding fast to the determl-
nation to acquire an education and
make out OF the raw material the good
Lord gave him to develop, the best and
noblest man possible.
One day, large eyed, earnest-look.
ing boy of twenty presented himself to
the president of st. John's College,
FOrdham, n. Y. and told the good priest
that he wanted TO acquire a college
education The president soon learned
that the boy lad not money enough to
pay for more than half years tuition;
but that this earnest applIca for col
iege opportunities had brains, energy,
and perseverance, and that his ex-
perience as teacher could be utilized
In the school so as to enable the boy to
begin college work at once.
After leaving st. Johns college he
began, under difficulties, the study OF
law. For four years he taught in one
of the public night schools in New
York city, did clerical work IN the law
Of1ce part of the day, and studied law
in columbian College. In 1869 he
graduated from Columbia and, return
ing TO DunkiIk, began practicing Iaw.
His friends and neigh bors respected
the young man who had aimed high.
who had WORKED, worked, worked, and.
st last, had achieved his desire, to fit
himself fer . lawyer.
