Benjamin Franklin's education was very basic through his early years. He went to grammar school. Soon after, at the age of 10, he became a printers apprentice. Later in his life he went to Oxford to study law.

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.

Benjamin Franklin's walking stick, about 1780 Franklin received this cane while serving as ambassador to France during the 1780s. In his will he bequeathed this reminder of the Revolution and its ideals to George Washington: "My fine crab-tree walking stick, with a gold head curiously wrought in the form of the cap of liberty, I give to my friend, and the friend of mankind, General Washington. If it were a Sceptre, he has merited it, and would become it." Washington's grandnephew donated the cane to the U.S. government in 1843; it was transferred to the Smithsonian from the State Department in 1922. from http://www.smithsonianlegacies.si.edu/objectdescription.cfm?ID=57

His political views and philosophies were probably the most important things for him.
