Early Education Shaping Success IN
Life.-So much Of the success or nou-success
of life in after years depends upon early educa-
ton, that this subject assumes a degree of i'm
p rtance which no parent, teacher or gardian
should be unmindful Of The smallest part OF
our education i ) that which we derive from the
text book.
Observation in the worlds great contact and
in the earnest battle Of life is both mans and
woman's best education.
The difference in mems characters ia very
strongly marked. Some men are week and tim
ID, really accomplishing nothing worth men,
tioning in the whole course of their lives. 9th
ers yield to no threat or dcfiulty prostrating
whatever opposition lies in their path. A good
deal Of this is owing to early educction. The
child brought up in luxury almost always real
ICES an imbecile manhood. Plant an acorn in
AOwer-pot and rear it in a green. house, and
though ii grow in the form of an oak, it will be
quite unlike that reared amid the SHOWS and the
storms of the mountain top.
In nine cases out Of ten the education which
man gives himself is, after all, the most i'm
portant Que Of the worst foes to the success
Of most men is the indulgence Of habit of in de.
cision. Nothing il more enfeebing or destruc.
tive of mental force. The man who never com
mits himself who is always delaying, and who
never makes up his mind, gives others the i'm
preston that he has little or no mind TO make
up. The only remedy Cor this apparent want
OF capacity is promptness. - Exchange.

PROM THE BLADE.

One by one the pioneers Of the Maumee Vail
ley are passing away, and to- day there ar. few
left to relate the incidents aud struggI $
through which the early settlers Of this now
fertile and prosperous section Of the State were
called to pass. Yesterday (MondayJ closed the
life OF another one of those who lived to see
their hopes respecting the Maum,e Valley
more than realized. Captain David Wilkinson
Of Perry sburg, is no mare. Fhe Captain was
born in February 1900, at or near Buffalo, and
the writer Of this has often heard him speak of
the exciting scenes in the village of Buffalo du-
ing the war of 1912. At an early age he went
upon the Lake as a sailor, and in 1915 he sailed
up the Maumee River on the schooner Biaek

FROM TUE COMMERCIAL.

The deceased was in his 7ith year. having
been born in the year 1900. His first advent to
the Maumee Valley was in 1915, as a hand on
board the schooner Black Snake craft Of about
2j tons commanded by Jacob wilkinson, an
uncle, which brought several pa ,se myers, who
landed at Perrysburg, aud most o. them be-
came settlers OF the town AMI the vicinity. This
was during the year in which the war with
England closed, an Fort NJ gs. above Perrys-
burg, was still garris,ned bV United States
troops. The chief industrial interest at that
time was fishing. In 1917 the young navigator,
though but II yetrs old, was prom tied to the
command ofthe d. teh Slaks In 1918 he took
command Of the schooner PaoL which piled
between the river AMI Ruff,lo, and continued
to sail different vessels until 1885. Among
these crafts was the EYle, a schooner built in
1928 at Port Lawrence, (now Toledo.) In 1875
he became the omminder Of the steamer Com
modOre Perry, which he sailed for ten years.
when he took charge Of the Superior, in which
he remained until 1852, when he left the lakes
Since that time he has devoted himself tn tae
cultivation his farm and to the charge of the
lighthouse in the MIumee Bay, near Manhat-
tan.
Deceased was man Of great kindness Of
heart and geniality in disposition, whereby he
won his way to the esteem of all acquantances; ;
while by his integrity aud honorable dealing he
commanded the confidence Of his fellow men in
an eminent degree. His Independence of char
aeter ever prompted him to selfrelance an
unremittinR of,rt. After residence in the
Valley of 81 years, he passed away amid a
state Of things in extraordinary contrast with
the scene which presented itself to his youthful
eyes. He leaves FIVE children-two sous aud
three daughters to mourn the departure Of Que
who never failed in his duty to them, aud
whose advantages in life have beeu mAinly due
to his unceasiug care. Few, Indeed, Of his
earliest eotemporariss now remain, and the
last Of them will soon fol>w him Be it the
care of those whl have or shall come after them
not to forget the dsbt due to their early enter
prise and sacrifices.
