Edison is without parallel in history. There has been other Rreat inventors, but never one with the all-pervading curiosity of mind which skipped from physics to mechanics, chemistry to biology, electricit> to aerodynamics, tie went ‘ through life working with an energy that was tremendous. He possessed the eccentricity j that spells genius and, in his earlier years, was constantly getting into difficulties because of his curiosity. He wajs born in 1847, on February 11. at Milan. O. His parents were Samuel and Nancy Edison. During his boyhood he was far from a mental prodigy. One of! his relatives referred to him as “addled" and he. himself, once remarked that “1 was usual ly at the foot of my class.” After a year in school his mother decided to teach him at i home. As a result, by the time he was 12. he had been made to digest such intellectual fare as Gibbons* “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire," Sears* “History of the World," “The Dictionary of Sciences’’ and Burton’s “Anatomy of Melancholy.” His intense interest in science developed at an early age. He was fascinated by machinery when he was a child and later he took up the study of chemistry.
