WHAT EDISON THINKS

Thomas A. Edison, the worlds
greatest inventor, who some years ago
said genius was 10 per cent. inspira-
ton and 80 per cent. perspiration,
has just said this:
IF my life had been made up of
eight-hour days, don't believe !
could have accomplished great deal.
This country would not amount to as
much as it does if the young men of
fifty years ago had been afraid that
they might earn more than they were
paid There were shirkers in those
days, to be sure, but they did not
boast Of it. The shirker tried to con-
ceal his shiftlessness and lack of am
bition
Il am not against the eight-hour day
or any other thing that protects labor
from exploitation at the hands of
ruthless employers, but it makes me
sad to see young Americans shackle
their abilities by blindly conforming
to rules which force the industrious
man to keep in step with the shirker.
If these rules are carried to their log
zeal conclusion it would seem that
they are likely to establish a rigid
system of vocational classes which
will make it difficult for the working
man to improve his condition and sta
ton in life by his own efforts"
