During his course he taught six terms as principal of a high school, and one year as assistant superintendent in the Essex County Truant School, at Lawrence, Mass., pushed a rolling chair at the Columbian Exposition, Chicago, was porter one season at Oak Hill House, Littleton, N.H., and canvassed for a publishing house one summer in Maine.

None of his fellow-students did more to secure an education.
Isaac J.Cox of Philadelphia worked his way through Kimball Academy, Meriden, N.H., and through Dartmouth College, doing many kinds of work.

There was no honest work within the limits of his ability that he would not undertake to pay his way.

He served summers as waiter in a White Mountain hotel, finally becoming head-waiter.
