Row Edison`.Warked .And D rested Others While a tremendous lot that bas been published and believed about ►Phomas Edison is myth, and while controversy is ready to break out whenever one mentions an important article which he is supposed to have invented, there is neither myth , nor controversy about his methods of work, nor about the fact that he was a . tremendously -hard worker. If one declines to give him rank with the pure scientists of history, it is not possible to deny him precedence1n the Tanks of applied scientists. Edison himself made no such claims as have been made by his idolators. Once, in reply to a question by President El- liot of Harvard, he said modestly and truthfully: . "I find what the world needs;' Then I go ahead and try to invent it." His first important inven- tion was a voting machine, Int it is related 'that since it made dishonest elections impossible. nobody would buy it. Then and there Edison re- solved' never to invent anything for which there was not already a pro- fitable demand. Toward^the last his mind turned more and more toward .chemistry, and it was in this field of exploration that he probably found his keenest intellectual delight. The New York Times has published lac similes of three of. Edison's time cards, for the inventok himself, like everybody else in his employ, punched a time clock and could show at the end of the week ja'st how many hours and minutes he had labored. The three were taken haphazard out of a collection in 1912 '.and showed that one week -,Edison worked 84 hours and 28 minutes; in the second, 111 hours and 48 minutes, and in the third 112 hours and 'six minutes. It was not until his inventive career was more than half .over that he was able to choose as his helpers scientifically -trained men. In t h e earlier days his lieutenants were men like himself, whose formal education -was meagre, but who would remain with one problem until it was solved. even if it required months. Later on it became possible for him to take Then • already trained, and wiLh all the Knowledge that was then available in their special field. Under Edison's .lirection •they would go further. The experiments of a dozen helpers in various fields would be ,:pooled, and then the genius of Edison himself would trouble the waters, and another invention would be presented to the world. ' Another peculiarity about his lab- oratories was that nobody there was making, any individual experiments. Everybody was working for Edison and `under Edison's explicit direc- tions. Every day or week as it was /necessary he would give each of his assistants written directions. He would be told what to do,' how to do it, where to look and what to look for. 'This was a business precaution. It' saved waste of time and duplicated effort and no misunderstanding could arise between the .master and the lieutenant. Another remarkable fea- ture about Edison Was his prodigious Memory. It was one of his chief men- tal. endowments. It is said that he 'never made the same experiment twice. He never wasted his time ov- er something .that thirty years earl- ier' he had proved was not the road to his. goal. Similarly he saved his' lieutenants' time when as often hap- pened they would propose an experi- ment as the solution of a particular problem, and he would be ,Able to tell there that he had tested the same iidea a generation earlier. .Only two men who worked for ham were trust- ed to make experiments in the vari- ous sciences in which he roamedhim- self: These were the brothers, ,Tohn and Fred Ott. The others were strict- ly specialists. For years• it was his practise to Ulm up at the laboratory at seven o'clock every morning. He would im- mediately review, what his assistants had accomplished during the night for the nights were few when some- body was' not working out some of his ideas. Then be would work by `himself until noon, when he would 1!L tlia newspa ersa 0,13 , discuss pi We "I en, he *e014 * Mine thed progress Fth ,.Rade. 1A,the..

Once for several nights he took, whatever rest he could on top 'of e; roll top desk, twvo. feet- broad and perhaps five feet long. One can un- derstand that. in such circumstances he slept, perhaps, not more than three or four hours. One of his engineers has told .about some ,important discoveries Edison .made. in ,the .perfection of electro -plating td • make the master phonograph records more enduring. His -mind had,been hovering about the problem or years, and when `Mrs. Edison went on a visit of sev- eral days to Akron, he announced that the time had come to solve this perplexing problem. He felt it was useless to try while • his wife was at home, .because, solicitous of his health she would not permit .the long nightly vigi1b in which his mind seemed more than usuall4 luminous. So for eight says he and his staff vrorked continu- ously; their food (being brought in to them:' They made hundreds of ex- periments. On the ninth day' Mr. Ed- ison produced from his pocket a crumpled piece of paper, .which prov- ed to be the long, sought formula. He had carried it..for' a 'week, but the an- swer seemed so 'simple that he hesi- tated to suggest it until nearly every other experiment had been proved un- satisfactory. PATTER Dr. Oarl S.
