Stanton received the usual school training of a country boy, became a student of Kenyon College, in 1833, but 366 EDTVTN M. STANTON. only remained a year and left. This was the end of his scholastic education. It is easy, to those who know the decisive, impetuous, self-reliant nature of the man, and who remember the rough, plain, inde- pendent atmosphere of the backwoods country where he grew up, to imagine how easily any supposed in- dignity from his instructors would drive him out of their pr...ecincts, or how readily he would give up the idea of further studies as unnecessary, if his supply of money failed. However this was, he took up an employment which allowed him to continue some kind of mental training, for he became a bookseller's clerk at Columbus. He also studied law, and in 1836 was admitted to the bar. He first opened an office at Ca- diz, Harrison county, Ohio, and his robust force and direct sense quickly gave him the best of whatever practice the country aiforded. He became the county prosecuting attorney in about a year ; in another he had removed to the larger business center of his na- tive place, Steubenville.
