GEORGE WASHINGTON

EX/ASHINGTON was made Of the
w same clay as most Americans
who have won high leadership and,
like them, he cut his teeth IN the
crust of poverty. Only four or five
of our presidents came from poorer
homes than our first president and he
had less schooling than four-fifths OF
his successors. He was, in fact, the
only president in the first forty years
who was without a college education.
Not starting to school until eight. he
had to leave at fourteen to go to work.
ThencefOrth until the Revolution the
woods and fields were his only school,
room and life his only schoolmaster.

that he was the product of wealth and
~aristocracy. His people really were
