James Garfield attended the Geauga Seminary three years in succession. During his second and third vacations he acted as master in some of the log schools in his native county. Then, at the age of twenty, he went from teaching school to sweeping the college floor at Hiram Institute. Here, besides gaining a considerable step in his education, Garfield began to exercise his gifts as a speaker.

His shrewd native wit saved him from many a mistake. He was prudent and firm, ready and resourceful, and his sharp tongue was a weapon they feared even more than his heavy hand. His wildest scholars admired him; while his sympathy with those pupils who, like himself, possessed no advantages save such as could be gained by their own hands, endeared him to the more thoughtful. Thus, when his first season as a teacher was ended, he returned home with the reputation of one of the most successful common schoolmasters in the country. CHAPTER XIII. FINDING FRIENDS.
