FAME AND FORTUNE FOR GRADUATES

the Hlectrleul Genlu.
Thomas A. Edition lias Invontcd many
great men. Soma of thotio havo become
uclenUats, Hko Kennelly; some have lie
como Inventors, HUo Tesla; some have be
come well kuown business men, like Samuel
Insull; others have become engineers, llko
Liloutenant Spraguo; many navo uocomo
millionaires. This will surprlso many per
sona who havo looked upon Mr. Edison as
a mere Inventor ot mechanism, yot It Is a
fact that more than twenty men who havo
received training under him havo gouo
forA from his laboratory and havo become
not d men In tho world. In fact, It has al
ncMt passed luto an axlon that Intimate
nssoclatlon with Thomas A. Edlsou means
ultlmato success nntl fortuno for any man.
One who has been with tho Inventor for
many years, who has watchod these mon
como In as pupils nnd go out Bplendldly
equipped for the battlo of life, was asked
to tell who thoy aro and tho process of
their Instruction.
"It Is a fact," ho replied, "that many of
tho men who have worked here with Mr.
Edison havo become- prominent In many
ways. It has been set down to coincidence
and to tho opportunities thoy have had for
forming powerful friendships while In the
laboratory, but thero Ib nnother and raoro
potent reason for their success. It Is the
result of contact with Edison. Ho seems
able, out of raw matortal and by tho power
of oxample, to creato a working force In a
man equal ulmost to that in himself. In
tho first place, ho would never have a man
around unlcm ho woro quick to learn and
to execute Ho cannot endure a stupid
man and ho Is vory frank to toll a man
that he is stupid and to clear him out. Tho
result Is that tho men who havo gotten
along with htm all had good natural ca
pacity. It was a survival of the Attest. All
men thrown with him find him democratlo
and willing to listen to any suggestion they
may mako to him. Ho always had the
effoct of making his men work hard by giv
ing them a first-class oxample. Ho taught
thero that If an experiment failed It should
bo regarded only as an Incentive to make
more experiments. That Is the lesson a
man learns from Edison never to give up.
In fact, any man with reasonable ability
will havo his faculties quickened by contact
with Edison. The laboratory Is llko a uni
versity and ho Is' Its actlvo president. At
any rate, no ordinary university has turned
out a greater procentago of great mon than
this laboratory. See how tho list swells.
First of lii (irniip.
"Tesla stands first among Edison gradu-
utes lu point of fame. Ho came to tho
works a moro youth, with little knowledge
ot practical electricity. He entered tho
testing laboratory and learned how to ex
periment. Of course, his natural capacity
pushed him on, but at that time he said to
me that succeeding under Mr. Edison was
not tho result of what ono learnB from the
Inventor so much ns it was absorbing tho
spirit with which Edison works. Undoubt
edly Tesla received his greatest impotus
from and owes his prcsont achievements to
what ho learned from Edison.
"Among the men who havo made a mark
In the electrical world Is A. E. Kennelly.
Ho has been president of the Institute of
Electrical Engineers. Mr. Kennelly wns
with Mr. Edison as mathematician and Is
supposed to bo ono of tho best in tho world.
He is tho only man In America who Is ablo
to Interpret sorao of the very intricate sys
tems of mathomatlcfl which havo been
evolved by that great EnglUh electrician,
Oliver Heavysldes.
"All of Mr. EdUon's early partners be.
came woll known In the world and wealthy.
They woro Charles Datchclor, John Krusle,
E. H. Johnson and S. B. Ilergman. Mr. Ed
ison has often said that Davchelor was the
cleverest man with his hands that bo had
ever. known. He was the most patlont man
I ever saw. He put tho first filament Into
tho Incandescent lamp. Tho filaments as
first mado were exceedingly tender and
were to bo clamped In. As they were of
almost microscopic size, It was an under
taking which seamed almost Impossible. I
havo seen him work for hours and then
break tho filament. Then ho would go on,
start again nnd make another one, until he
mado a perfect one. He was noted for his
patience. Wo uied to nickname him 'Edi
son's hands.' He built eleven different fac
tories for Mr. Edison and hu managed all
of tho European works for years. He mado
a largo amount of money beforo ho retired
from an nctlvo career.
"John Krusle, who died not long ago,
was superintendent for Mr. Edison, If that
term may be used, for many years In bis
laboratory. He was an exceedingly clever
man and a thoroughly good mechanic. Tho
underground system In Now York City for
tho distribution of electric light was first
Installed by John Kruslo. I havo thought
that Mr. Kruslo ruined his health by build
ing tho underground systems In the daytlmo
and putting them under the pavement all
night. Ho was noted tho world over for
bis mechanical ability.
An Klci-trleal Promoter,
"E. II. Johnson was with Mr. Edison in
the telegraph and telephone days, nnd then
when tho electric light was developed. Ho
was noted for his ability to talk on any
subject for any length of time. Ho was
probably tho finest promoter In the United
8tates. Ho first took the electric light to
England and placed It thero for Mr. Edison.
Ho Is another 'rich' mnn.
"S. n. Bergman was one of Mr. Edison's
workmen and when Mr. Edison left Newark
ho took Mr. Edison's place thero. At that
tlrao he nttended to tho manufacturing end.
Since he has becomo the largest manufac
turer of eloctrlo apparatus In tho United
States nnd now ownB very largo works In
Germany. He Is generally supposed to be
a millionaire.
"Theso were four early men. While In
England ono of thero, Mr. Johnson, 'dis
covered' Samuel Insull, who became the
head of tho Chicago lighting Industry and
until recently was president of tho National
Electric Light association. Ho Is very
wealthy nnd Is a terrific worker. Mr. Edi
son onco Jokingly remarked of him that If
ho ran tho New York Central railroad, tho
Pennsylvania railroad, tho Standard Oil
company and a few other affairs ho would
still bo grasping a few moro things to run,
and, If given time, ho would be pretty sure
to run tho world.
"Frank J, Bprague came to Mr. Edtaon
from tho navy. Ho has boon president of
tho Society of Electrical Englneors and is
known tho world over ns tho Inventor of
the Spraguo eloctrlo system. Mr. Sprnguo
spent many years at Richmond, Va., where
tho first electric railway In tho United
Stntes wns Installed by him. Ho took part
In tho recent war with Spain. Ho Is also
wealthy.
"Frank MacGowen, who becamo noted as
an explorer, was sent by Mr. Edleon to
South America for bamboo. Ho mado a
Journey across South America, and wns tho
first white man to cross from tho source of
tho Andes to tho west const of South Amer
ica. If Mr. MacGowen had been n fluent
writer his wealth nnd fame would have
been equal to that of the great explorer
Stanley and others. Mr. Macpowcn had
plenty of pluck, but he died from tho ef
fects of his exposure on this Journey. The
Now York Sun called him 'the equal of
Stanley In conquering new territory.'
Took 'I'lioum to Kuropr.
"Tho man who solved many ventilating
problems In sky-scrapers, tunnels and sub
collars got his early training from Edison.
He Is young Seymour, the son of Mayor
Seymour of Nowark. He first took tho tel
ephone to Europe for tho company. He got
a Now York papor out of a ventilating
scrnpo In early days and so got his start.
In the sub-collar where the presses aro
run tho heat was so great that It almost
melted the lead of the forms, The mon
could not stand It. Hut Seymour mado tho
place habitable.
"Luther Stlerlngor Is another man of
mark who got his tuition. In Mcnlo I'ark.
Tor years he has been recognized as an
authority on tho distribution of light. He
laid out tho lighting of tho Omaha exposi
tion and a medal was awarded him for this
work. Ho also devised the schemo for
lighting of tho grand court at tho World's
fair. I heard that ho had onco n sort or
roving commission to Investigate anything
of Interest on any subject for Mr. Edison,
nnd. ns ho snld. mado It a practice to open
all doors which had tho sign 'No Admit
tance' upon them.
There Arr Othem.
"Editors anil lawyers have neon educated
by EdUon. Thomas Commerford Martin,
editor of tho Electrical World, was onco In
tho laboratory! n. N. Dyer, who Is a well
known patent attorney, raino to ErtUon as
a boy and shows the effect of hla training
In his succefcs. So you might continue
through all trades and professions. W. K.
L. Dickson, who blographed tho pope,
learned his trade In working on the klnoto
scope. Achciion, who Is a power at Niagara
Kails nnd who Invented carborundum, was
here at the same time. II. Ward Leonard,
who Inventod moving turrets for warships
by electricity, got bis early training from
Edison. Philip Scubel, who Installed the
first electric plant ever put on a steamship
(It was the old steamer Oregon), worked
for Edison. So did Dr. 8. S. Wheeler, tho
woll known electrician, and C. J. Field,
who has got rich Installing street railways,
and August Weber, who mado a fortuno In
porcelain. Then thoro aro a number of men
who have remained Indirectly connected
with the Edison Interests. Hut nil of the
names mentioned are of men who aro In
charge of Interests of vast Importance. Il
luminating company Interests alone repre
sent Investments of ovor $73,000,000, the
mn in rhnrun nf which I have mentioned,
ThoBo mentioned In Industries and mechan
ical Interests aro at tho head of enterprises
representing Investments of $20,000,000.
Outside Interests would probably be $10,-
000,000. You see, Edison has been some
thing moro thnn a mere Inventive power in
the world.
"Thore are many mon now who have pre
ferred to remain with Mr. Edison, as long
o certain problems aro bolng worked out,
who otherwise might havo gono out Into
the world full of tho knowledge ho had im
parted to them to the end of becoming rich
nnd famous llko their early associates,
Thoro aro also many young mon working
horo now who In course of time will grad
uate and go forth to conquer tho world. It
Is like a college hero In that respect, and
wo could form an alumnao socloty that In
point of Influence would stand well with
any other society of Its kind. Ilut after oil
tho point I maintain Is that all this suc
cess, prominence and good fortune which
han como to theso men could nover havo
como to them (no generally at least) had It
not been Inspired by Mr, EdUon. In this
respect he stands as a mentor of all trades
and professions."
