His early education was attained in the district schools, located on the site of the present William Street school in the city of Huntington, and in the academy on State Street in the same city, named the Rural Home Institute. This district school was typical of the common schools of that day, and reading, spelling and arithmetic were the principal studies. From 1873 to 1875 he was his father 's secretary, while the latter was a member of Congress. This position gave him a wide acquaintance with the public men of that day. He spent part of the year 1875-76 in the high school of Huntington, but largely prepared himself for college. In the fall of 1876 he entered the classical course of Wabash College at Crawfordsville, Indiana, as a freshman, and graduated in June, 1880, with the degree of A. B. While in college Mr. Sayler was a member of the Greek Letter fraternity, the Phi Kappa Psi, and he was also much interested in the literary societies of the college, and in his senior year was one of the Baldwin prize orators.
