due to Lincoln himself. Ceaseless.

as postmaster was small. 1t was
while he was earning scant and
uncertain support with the assist

to hand that he found an oppor-

Trained Himself as Surveyor

While Lincoln attended various
schools between the ages of ten
and seventeen and stood high in
his classes, he was in point Of
regularity far from a model pupil.
When funds were low In the Lin
coin family, young Abe worked on
the farm or for a neighbor. So
frequens were these calls made
upon him that it is estimated he
never spent more than 100 full
days in school in all his life.
