Education was obviously very important to Matthew. He would go on to later teach school in the winter and farm in the summer. His educational credentials were listed in his Legislative Memorial.
“He attended the common schools of his county, and afterwards attended the high school in Woodward, Iowa, from which he graduated in 1888. He later entered Highland Park College in Des Moines, Iowa, and graduated from that institution in 1894.”
