He attended the Sawhill district school in East Finley Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and later entered Monongahela College in Greene County. He subsequently attended Jefferson Academy at Canonsburg and Washington and Jefferson Academy. In 1883 he became a student at Washington and Jefferson College at Washington, and was graduated in 1887. Prior to this he had taught two terms in the public schools of Morris Township. Following his graduation he accepted the chair of mathematics and literature, in the Keokuk, Iowa, High School, and taught there for five years and then resigned the position and entered the Western Theological Seminary, at Allegheny, where he was graduated in 1895 and was licensed to preach, by the Washington Presbytery, on April 11, 1895. He aided as supply and tutor until 1900, when he was elected assistant principal of Jefferson Academy. In 1902 he was elected principal and served for seven years. During that time the school increased in at-tendance, averaging between 40 and 50 students, and a great many young men and women passed from this academy into colleges and universities.
Mr. Craig later accepted a position as chaplain and teacher in the Morganza Reform School.
