his uncle, Richard Noall, one of the pioneer building

the Stockton grammar school and was graduated from the Stockton high school
with the class of 1910. During his
junior and senior years at high school, he was class president, and was also
president of the debating club for two years.

to the study of law in the office of Joshua B. Webster, and on July 17, 1911,
one year after his graduation from high school, he was admitted to the bar and
became a member of the firm of Webster, Webster & Blewett.
