be boosted this fall by county coun-
Gil when it meets to fix the 1880

BY J. A. CAPARO

Professor of Electrical Engineering at the
University of Notre pameo
The problem of selecting a young
man to succeed and continue the
work of the great inventor. Thomas
A. Edison, is rather difficult to solve.
There is no doubt that if a man is
to be selected to the pattern OF
Edison, such man must be born, not
made.
The characteristics which have
made Edison so famous are innate,
not acquired. If you look over his
long list of inventions some salient
facts are clear. He has extraordl-
nary power of observation, he has
ability to adapt things his uncanny
intuition of relation to quantities,
his untiring efforts and unlimited
capacity for work.
If We part from the principle that
such man Edison now exists, the
difficulty would be in recognizing
his latent qualities and the charac-
teristics which would adapt him to
carry on the work of Edison. If
such a man exists, he must be a
genius and only in him can we COM
bine the qualities of Edison which
would make him persevere in his
work and follow his theories to the
end.
On the other hand, if man is
to be educated and taught the
characteristics of the great inven-
tor, he undoubtedly must be stu
dent of the science, who must love
the study of electricity for its own
sake.
am tempted to say that due to
the fact that modern developments
in electricity lie in the conception
Of infinitesimal quantities, he must
have not only the qualities of a
