EDISON SHOULD PICK TEN BOYS, STATES RAINEY Franklin College President Believes One ‘Successor’ Too Uncertain. This Is another in a series by In<:r.a s foremost educators on the traits and characteristics requisite in the American youth who Is to be selected as protege and successor to Thomas A> Edison The Times is assisting Governor Karry G Leslie In finding the Indiana representative. BY HOMER P. RAINEY President of Franklin College. Franklin. Thomas Edison has proposed to do a most unusual and yet a magnificent thing. Very few of the great leaders in human history have had the opportunity of choosing their successors. Also very few have had the generosity and the benevolent purpose toward society to assume the responsibility of training their successors in their ideals and qualities of life. Edison is to be congratulated upon his vision and worthy purpose. He. better than any one else, is capable of choosing the man to carry on his work. Yet he, doubtless is unwilling to state the qualities of character and mind which this man should have This might seem to be a self-evaluation. I think it is very fortunate that The Indianapolis Time? is conducting an open forum on the qualifications of the boy who will be chosen to represent Indiana in this most unusual competition, and I am happy to have a small part in this discussion. Edison Is Model The qualities necessary for success and achievement are so well known and generally recognized that it is difficult to disouss them without being trite. Yet Edison’s life and his work are such splendid exemplifications of these qualities, and he possess them in such a rare degree •hat it is well to bring them again Vo the attention of our high school and college youth. In the first place the student should have genius. By genius, I mean creative talent. Edison is a. genius of a very particular sort. There can be no doubt that he possesses very peculiar endowments for his work. His successor also should possess them in a marked degree. Psychologists and educators have fairly reliable technique now for selecting particular abilities and aptitudes. This technique is .through the use of general intelligence tests and aptitude tests for special abilities. A student should be found, and I believe can be found, who possesses the required aptitude for electromechanics. In the second place the student should have a passionate devotion for the search for truth. He must possess the scientific spirit. He must have the mind and attitude of the true scientist. Some of these qualities are- A love tor truth; an 'unprejudiced mind: patience in research; exactness in details; keenness in powers of observation; impartiality in his judgments; and above all else, he must be a tireless worker. Character Important In addition to these mental endowments mentioned above, the | student mus have certain qualities of character. A character which is successful in modern life is one in which all the great social virtues are splendidly integrated. Some of these are truthfulness, honesty. integrity, reliability, unselfish ideals of service and a great vision and purpose in life. It is at this point that rdison will need great wisdom and insight in human personality, because th p se qualities are most difficult to discern. Furthermore, there is greater likelihood n t students failing at someone of these points than at all , others. A sac; which makes this problem all the more difficult is that a fatal weakness in any one of these virtues may not be revealed until the individual is faced with some of the creat stress periods and situations of life For example, any one of a thousand boys who might be chosen, might completely sell himself and his genius for his own financial advancement if an industrial corporation were to offer him great financial returns for his services. Such a temptation was presented to Lindbergh. but he had strength of character and purpose to resist its allurements. My final suggestion is that I believe it will be a mistake to select only one boy for this work. There are two reasons for this belief, which seem to me very strong ones. Boy's Future Uncertain The first one is that I have very i grave doubts as to the probability sos getting a boy on first choice who L will meet all the qualifications. It 1 would be an extremely fortunate ■circumstance if any group of psychologists and educators or indiSviduals could select one immature Ikboy who would, when mature, mea®sure up to the superb standard of

2 Glasses Water Clean Kidneys!

When bladder weakness and irritation disturb your rest it may mean your kidneys are clogged with acids. This is especially likely if you experience backaches, headaches, dizzy spells during the day. and rheumatic twinges when the weather changes. When the kidneys become clogged they‘fail to filter the wastes and poisons properly from the blood and trouble follows. The first thing to Ido when kidneys act bad is to begin Lirinking lots of water. Drink at ■least two glasses of water every ■morning about an hour before pjreakfast. This helps to flush the Ikidneys of the accumulated acids land waste. | You can make the water doubly deflective by adding to one of the

It is a common phenomenon to see a youth of great promise in his “teens" become an utter failure before he reaches 30. My second reason is that the life of one boy would be too uncertain to stake so much upon. The boy might be taken by death within a fev.- years, or be totally incapacitated by accident. This would result in complete loss. For these reasons I believe that at least ten boys should be selected for this training. If Edison did not feel that he couid finance the enterprise on this scale, it would be an easy matter to enlist the aid of individuals or foundations.

Doctor Found Women and Children Sick More Often than Men

Asa family doctor at Monticello, Illinois, the whole human body, not any small part of it, was Dr. Caldwell's practice. More than half his “calls'’ were on women, children and babies. They are the ones most often sick. But their illnesses were usually of a minor nature—colds, fevers, headaches, bilidusness—and all of them required first a thorough evacuation. They were constipated. In the course of Dr. Caldwell’s 47 years’ practice, he found a good deal of success in such cases with a prescription of his own containing simple laxative herbs with pepsin. In 1892 he decided to use this, formula in the manufacture of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup of Pepsin, and placed it on the market. The preparation immediately had as great a public success as it previously had in Dr. Caldwell’s private practice. Now, the third generation is using it. Mothers are giving it to their children who were given it by their mothers. Every second of the working day someone somewhere is going into a drug store to buy it. There are thousands of homes in this country that are never without a bottle of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, and we have many hundreds of letters from grateful people telling us it helped when everything else failed.

MILLIONS MAY BE UNITED IN SINGLEGHURCK Presbyterian. Methodist and Episcopal Merger Is Advocated. BY HECTOR MERRIER. United Press Staff Correspondent ST. PAUL, Minn., May 28.—1n this modern day of huge business organizations, consolidations and unions, 15.000.000 American church members stand on the threshold of one of the greatest mergers in history. These millions Presbyterians, Methodists and Episcopalians—who have made friendly advances for years, have come to that place where the actual joining of their forces is near enough to be almost a reality. Churchmen long had -realized, particularly in the last ten years, that their battle against the drift of the times could be met only by presentation of a stronger and more solid front. Among leaders who first proposed unions were the Presbyterians. During the recent years the church maintained a committee especially devoted to conversations with other denominational leaders on the matter of consolidations. Delegates Vote for Union These discussions advanced so rapidly that here in the one hundred forty-first Presbyterian general assembly nearly 1,000 delegates voted overwhelmingly to take union steps with their "cousin'’ churches, ail branches of the Presbyterian denominations, the Methodist and Episcopal, at once. The action came somewhat as a surprise, since it was expected that the union moves for the present would be confined largely to the sixteen branches of the Presbyterian church. When one of the foremost leaders of the assembly was asked what prompted this swift action, he replied: “The alarming present day need for Christian education, the growing disrespect for laws, particularly those with regard to liquor. “President Hoover has called upon us all for observance of laws. Wc have voted to assist him in every possible way. We have pledged ourselves to fight against any breaking down of the liquor laws. We will do all we can now, but we see the need of concerted action. See Strength in Merger “How much more powerful an army could we muster if the churches fought under one banner.” It generally was agreed that the 3,000,000 Presbyterians now divided among the sixteeen branches of the church would be merged in two or three years, five years at the most. Conversations already have begun with the Methodise and the Episcopal churches, and although many questions on creed, polity and disposition of the billions of dollars in property must be settled, it was believed that actual unions would be effected in from ten to fifteen years City Stations 4VFBM (1230) (Indianapolis Power and light Company) —Tuesday— P.
