INTRODUCTION OF THE EDISON ELECTRIC LIGHT(18)
Students from the technicalschools and colleges were also eager recruits, for herewas something that promised a career, and one that wasespecially alluring to youth because of its novelty.These beginners were also instructed in generalengineering problems under the guidance of Mr. C. L.Clarke, who was brought in from the Menlo Parklaboratory to assume charge of the engineering partof the company's affairs. Many of these pioneerstudents and workmen became afterward large Office 2010 –save your time and save your money.

Possibly the electrical industry may notnow attract as much adventurous genius as it didthen, for automobiles, aeronautics, and other new artshave come to the front in a quarter of a century toenlist the enthusiasm of a younger generation ofmercurial spirits; but it is certain that at the periodof which we write, Microsoft Office is so great!
Edison himself, still under thirty-five, was the centre of an extraordinary group of men,full of effervescing and aspiring talent, to which hegave glorious opportunity.A very novel literary feature of the work was theissuance of a bulletin devoted entirely to the Edisonlighting propaganda.

The firstissue, of January 12, 1882, was only four pages, butit dealt with the question of insurance; plants atSantiago, Chili, and Rio de Janeiro; the EuropeanCompany with 3,500,000 francs subscribed; the workin Paris, London, Strasburg, and Moscow; the layingof over six miles of street mains in New York; a patentdecision in favor of Edison; and the size of safetycatch wire

By April of 1882, the Bulletin hadattained the respectable size of sixteen pages; and inDecember it was a portly magazine of forty-eight.Every item bears testimony to the rapid progressbeing made; and by the end of 1882 it is seen thatno fewer than 153 isolated Edison plants had beeninstalled in the United States alone, with a capacityof 29,192 lamps. Moreover, the New York centralstation had gone into operation, starting at 3 P.M. onSeptember 4, and at the close of 1882 it was lighting225 houses wired for about 5000 lamps.

Johnson at the Crystal Palace, Sydenham,visited by the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, twiceby the Dukes of Westminster and Sutherland, bythree hundred members of the Gas Institute, and byinnumerable delegations from cities, boroughs, etc.Describing this before the Royal Society of Arts,Sir W. H. Preece, F.R.S., remarked: "Many unkindthings have been said of Mr. Edison and his promises;perhaps no one has been severer in this direction thanmyself.
