She early taught him to hear responatbBHy, and from the beginning he faced the world with the idea of earning his own living, if not the living of the family. But just as fortunately, George's brothers were also men of unuaual character. The younger of them, Aaguetise, ieek George to live fcr s. while at "Wakefield," where tradition haa it that George got some achooling of a business nature to St him for a life of self-support.
