venture on his own account was an
agency for Kittos History Of the

he was sent by the same company TO

older than himself in the work and

he was sent to Wisconsin, Illinois and

Turning from this first occupation.
Jan. l, 1867, being then Is years of

frequently engaged in teaching. Mr.
Merrill recalled wildly some Of the
incidents of this occupation in the
winter of 1S65-1S66. when he taught
in the CorsOn district at Athens An
other school was in the Hutchinson
district in Wellington, and here he
succeeded a man by the name of Nc

among the first days experiences ad-
ministering corporal punishment to
two of the larger boys (presumable
one at time) laid across his knee.
The result was amicable relations
with these two youths and the entire
school and successful and profitable

school teaching would not be COM

employment in New York City which
though brief, was very interesting
Following his graduation from Bow

Japans reservation regarding the

this point, but no such provision is
