His father was very strict and decided that young Ben did not need a formal education. He felt this way so strongly that when he caught him reading a book he would punish him. By the time Ben was 7-8 years old he had been taken out of school and made an apprentice to a candle maker. Later, he will be apprenticed to his brother to learn the printing business. Ben never out grew or stopped learning his entire life despite the fact his father didn't want him to be educated.
