PLAN No. 677. LAWYER GETS ON SCHOOL BOARD
After getting out of the law school he did not have sufficient funds to open an office, so he became a teacher in one of the high schools in the city in which he desired to make his home. After teaching for about two years, he determined that he would go into practice for himself. This he did. He felt that it would be an advantage to him to hold some kind of public office, and so he ran for and secured a membership on the school board. This position he was well qualified to fill, having taught for several years preceding his study of the law. After that he joined an athletic association and ran for office in the association and was made one of its directors. In these two positions he enjoyed a good opportunity for coming in contact with the best people of the city, and when politics was alive, he was one of the main members of the political organization, and had much to say about who should be elected to office.
He served as assistant prosecuting attorney for some time, got the experience that he desired, and then continued with his practice. From these offices, which have been a great advantage to him, he has won an excellent reputation in the community.
