Seven years later the family moved into XYaukegan and the father became county superintendent of schools, anl afterward city superintendent of schools. The boy attended the public schools passing step by step thru the grades and into the high school, from which he was graduated in 1881. In the fall he entered Lake Forest Academy in order to get a start in Greek. There l1e remained two months and the balance of the year he spent in teaching, still continuing, however, the study of Greek. He taught two terms in the country, a winter term, and a spring and summer term, for which he received 332.50 and S2 5 a month respectively. In September, 1882, Mr. Manchester entered Dartmouth college. In those days college boys did not have so much money as now and a considerable number of Dartmouth boys worked their way thru college by teaching. During his course Mr. Man- chester taught five terms in New England village high schools and spent one summer in company with sixty other boys as a waiter in a summer hotel at Nantasket Beach. At the end of his third year in college he had paid all expenses and received only S1530 from his father. He was graduated in 1886 with the de- gree of AB. The Hrst year after graduation he spent in the east teaching in two private military academies at Billerica, Mass., and at Sing Sing, New York. In September, 1887, he was called to Joliet, Illinois, as principal of the high school and he remained there 'till January, 1892, when President Cook invited him to become principal of the I.S.N.U. high school. The university high school was an institution of high rank with a reputation for scholarly work far and wide. In June, 1895, the State Board of Education discontinued the high school and thereupon made Mr. Manchester professor of foreign languages and economics, a position which he still holds. He has been twice married-the first wife and child died in 1892. In December, 1895, he married Miss Flora Thompson, ,Q5, I.S.N.U., of VVarrensburg, Illinois. They have had five
