Professor John Perley was one of the most highly esteemed educators in the State of Maine. He taught at Maine Wesleyan Seminary and Female College, Kent's Hill, for 34 years and, for many years, was professor of penmanship at Waterville Classical Institute, Hebron Academy and Houlton Academy.
He originated the Perley System of penmanship which was, for several years, taught in schools throughout the State. He is said to have taught 40,000 students, in 900 classes, during his lifetime.

The following was part of his obituary that appeared in the "Belfast Journal," Belfast, Maine, 30 May 1895:

"Truly in life he followed the injunction, 'Use the things of this world as not abusing them'; therefore his life testifies to the truth that a compliance with nature's laws is the portal leading to paths of pleasantness and peace. Cleanliness, temperance, industry, charity and integrity were attributes which he assiduously cultivated, and from the practice of them he reaped an abundant harvest of peace and prosperity."
