Such perseverance as this of course attracted the attention of both his fellow students and his professors. SUCH PERSEVERANCE AS THIS OF COURSE ATTRACTED THE ATTENTION OF BOTH HIS FELLOW STUDENTS AND HIS PROFESSORS
the nobler among the young men of the country were unconsciously preparing to play their great parts in the awful civil war. On entering Hiram Institute, Garfield was too poor to pay the ordinary fees. He had applied, therefore, for the post of janitor, and his duties were to sweep the rooms and ring the bell. He held this office for one year, and during the whole of that time it was said that never once did his bell ring behind the time. From the humble position of janitor he was promoted at the end of the session to the more honourable one of assistant tutor. It seemed as if his experience was to be a continual example of the possibility, and even the advantage in some respects, to a healthy lad, of combining great success in study with great industry in manual labour. His pay as a teacher was little more than nominal, and it was still necessary that he should work to live, therefore he engaged his mornings and evenings, as at Geauga, to a local carpenter, and thus supported himself.
