The managing editor of the New York Herald took a day ofi
on December 21, 1879. So this headline in his paper hit him
without warning.
EDISON’S LIGHT—
IT MAKES A LIGHT, WITHOUT GAS OR FLAME!
The public promptly shouted “hoax!” Scientists called Edison
crazy. And our shocked, angry editor expected to be fired.
But he wasn’t. Eleven days later, Thomas Edison held a
unique New Year’s party in his laboratory at Menlo Park,
New Jersey, and invited the world to see his “flameless light.”
Thousands came and were convinced.
Soon small companies were bringing the benefits of Edison’s
newfangled lamp to the people. Engineers and business men
poured in their energy and time . . . risked their own savings
. . . overcame all kinds of obstacles . . . broadened and
improved the service.
Government didn’t do the job. Individuals did. And in the
process, they created jobs for many thousands of Americans,
as well as a great new service for many millions more.
When Edison opened the first power-plant in 1882, elec
tricity cost 25c a kilowatt-hour. This year, the 100th anniversary
of the inventor’s birth, the average price of household electricity
across the country is only 3 l/3c per kilowatt-hour.
Thanks to Edison’s imagination and enterprise — thanks to
the courage and initiative of many men and women, working
under the American business system —this country enjoys the
most and best electric service in the world. And all our lives
are richer, safer, more productive.

Do you have those post-
Christmas blues? Have you a
case of longing for “Home,
Sweet Home”? Do you furtive
ly study and read along for pages
and pages and suddenly realize
that you’ve not been studying?
You’ve been merely cataloguing
in your mind — sorting and
shuffling the wonderfully su
perb holidays? Well, relax and
put your mind and attention on
pleasanter thoughts, mi’lady—
exams are beating down upon
us. Just around the corner and
over the hill exams are jumping,
skipping, and bouncing to hit us
smack in the face. The time is
practically here, and no matter
how we glance hopelessly from
side to side and backwards—
“time marches on.” So—dear
ladies, shoulders back, chin up,
eyes forward, and marcji—
steadily, to the front.
