someone who reads. However, they were often hired with money pooled from workers to read to large rooms full of manual laborers to keep them entertained. Some read left-leaning or union publications to the workers. So they had to read materials they didn't want or with which they didn't agree.

But they could help students and teachers to observe the body and find something that might help next generations. 3. Rat catchers were employed in Europe to control rat populations.
