think. One OF these will be Edi-
sons boy.
8. independence OF Judgment.
When this boy reaches a conclusion,
ne will know where it comes from
and what It rests upon. He will not
be too hasty in making his judg-
ments. but when he makes one he
will not change it merely because he
is told, even if it be Edison himself
who tells him. He always will be
tolerant. He never will be dogmatic.
He never will be stubborn But be-
fore he changes his thinking he
must be shown wherein it is wrong.
He will listen tc others. He will test
out his conclusions again and again.
But the mere statement that he is
in error will not be enough to
change him. He has confidence in
himself and in his conclusions. He
must be shown.
g. Persistence. There are many
brilliant beginners who very soon
are cutters. Many piano pupils
want to start on pieces" They
want to be concert performers with
out mastering their exercises. The
thing is impossible. Our boy must
not be easily discouraged. He can
not play pieces" at once. He must
have infinite patience. The boy who
works with Edison must never give
NO. he must be willing to keen ever
lastingly at it.
10. Proficiency in Language. Our
boy must have a degree Of mastery
over the English language. He must
at least be able to use it accurately.
No matter how carefully and how
accurately he may have made his
discoveries. if he messes and muses.
them UP in inaccurate expression,
he has rendered no service to the
rest Of us. The first requirement Of
science is accuracy. This boy, whose
life work is to be science, need give
little or no attention 10 rhetorical
establishment OF his laguage. That
would be as likely to conceal his
thought as 10 reveal it. Even gram
mar he need not regard as a life
and death matter.
II. Mechanical Inclination. He
must be mechanically inclined. This
inclination I think is due partly to
ones heredity and partly to his ex-
periences. If the nature of a boys
occupation has forced mechanical
activity upon him, that will help
him. Then if in addition to this,
his father and mother and his
grandparents have been mechan-
ically inclined, his qualifications will
be all the better. Any way he must
have not only a curiosity as to how
things are made but also a very
strong desire 10 make them and 10
unmake them and to remake them.
BY this time the boy We are talking
about must have pulled apart at
least one old Ford and put it to-
gether again. he must have built a
radio set, he must have made tele-
phone system out of wire fence
and some pieces of tin, he must
have wired a house for electric
lights. The more seedlings and
whippings he has had, for tinkering
with things. particularly electrical
things, when he should have been at
work. the better his qualifications.
The trial and error method is the
method of all experimentation. Edi-
son always has been great expert
menter; so must his successor i be.
IL. Industry. He must believe IN
the gospel Of hard work. II either
