No material monument erected by the American people could ever fully express the Nation’s tribute for all that Edison dSd, for all that he was. The great industries which rose from his genius, the millions of men and women who have found employ ment as a result of his patient and never-ending research, the billions of new wealth created—these are in themselves a heritage such as few men leave to posterity. Other great men have enriched the life of man kind, but none in so many field's. Thus the most appropriate memor ial to Edison, reflecting America’s deep sense of obligation and grati tude, would seem to be one containing permanent spiritual values. The Na tion can best repay its debt to him by perpetuating and keeping alive a project which always lay close to his heart—the education of talented American youth in science. What could be more flitting than that his memory be kept eternally alive in the practical way he himself indicated by providing young pople of promise with the opportunity for that scientific training which Edison lacked in his own early Ife? The Thomas Alva Edison Founda tion, Inc., plans a living memorial in the form of annual grants to approxi mately one hundred “Edison Scholars” as the recipients are to be known. Thfr Edison Scholar Plan will be set up on a broad, competitive basis so ag to enlist the widest possible interest, not only of all youth of significant, promise but also of industrial and educational leaders. There were one hundred thousand applicants for the one scholarship offered by Mr. Edi son six years ago. The Foundation believes that just as Edison’s work wa s designed to meet a sharply felt need of humanity, so this plan is de signed to meet a real need of youth and industry. It supplements but does not duplicate present scholarship rewards. It opens a wide field of in terest for* great number^ of young people and provides a spur to worth while effort 25 I Leader’s Mid-Sumner Sale! t Be Sure to Attend This Big Bargain Event r " • $10 in Cash Prizes!
