By C1IRISTA FINLEY
Thomas A. Edison, born Feb. 11, 1847, lived In Louisville during his youth and twice escaped death there.
Americans today commemorate the birthday of their
world-famoinventor. However, the electric light bulb
and numerous other Edison electrical contributions almost died with
while he was in Kentucky.
Edison worked In Louisville as a telegraph operator
at the close of the Civil War. His stay in the city, perhaps fortunately, was very short.
Louisville, like many other cities throughout the
country, was jn a ttate of turmoil and fear because of the
us

war.
One night while Edison was working, one of the
operators who worked with him came into the office
drunk. 11c piled up the operators' tables and tore the

sltchboard from the wall, smashing all the batteries.
Then he left.
However, another drunken operator, not satisfied with
this exhibition, shot several times into the fire crate.
Edison was hit twice by the bullets exploding In the fire.
If this incident wasn't enough to scare Edison away
from Kentucky, he almost was buried here a second time.
About 3 o'clock one morning, Edison was walking
home. Earlier in the day, he had a few books bound at
the telegraph office. While walking through the darkened streets of Louisville, a policeman shouted for him
to stop.
The policeman thought that the package Edison had
was a stolen item. But Edison couldn't hear the policeman shouting. He had been slightly deaf since child

'

hood when someone boxed him on the ears in a fight.
Edison Just kept on walking.
The policeman, thinking the man to be a thief, began
opening fire on Edison. Luckily, he wasn't hit.
The patrolman ran up to Edison and demanded t
know the contents of the bundle. Obligingly, Edisod
opened up the bundle and showed him the innocent

contents.

Recovering from this surprise, the undoubtedly embarrassed policeman remarked to Edison how lucky he
was that he hadn t been killed. The policeman, apparently, was not a very good shot.
During the time he worked in Louisville, Edison had
yet to make his important contributions (phonograph,
electric light, motion pictures, microphone and others).

Bid For Full Vote

C

f

Student Congress Monday night
voted down SuKy's petition for full
voting membership in SC.
The petition to admit the student
pep association was presented to
SC President
Pete Perlman by
SuKy President Sue Davenport.
The motion to admit SuKy
a majority of votes in favor
of admittance, but fell short of the
three-fourtvote needed to allow
a new seat to be added.
Debate for the measure was based on the argument that 'K" Club
has a seat in SC.
It was pointed out that a provision was made to seat a representative from the football houses as
a "representative from a residence
unit. Such a representative may be
selected in any manner and the
football houses' representative was
selected by the "K" Club.
Fred Strache, SC vice president,
represented UK at a meeting of
the Southern Universities Student
Government Associations at Auburn last Saturday.
Strache pointed out that the association is already organized and
has a constitution. Unlike the National Student's Association, it is a
making organization.
Because of this, it seems to meet
the requirements of a group SC
would like to become affiliated
with, and it does not have some
of the features objected to in the

Oh,

superior teacher with extra
money is an" idea that is causing lots
of talk these days. There hasn't been
much action, however.
The reason is that school officials have
trouble deciding just how you identify a
good teacher.
A recent Wisconsin University study
came up with the surprising discovery
I hat
13 superintendents and supervisors
singled out a certain teacher as the best
they ever observed, while 13 others said
the same teacher was the worst. The remainder of the 75 experts polled all had
different shades of opinion.
That gives you an idea of the problem.
Still, lots of
educators, fated with
teacher shortages, think the exceptional
teacher should be encouraged with more
pay. They say that would prevent teachers from being lured into higher-payinindustry jobs.
Surveys indicate the merit pay idea is
now beginning to show a gain in supa

training.
The chief opponent of merit rating is
the NEA, spokesman
lor more than
half a million classroom teachers.
Singling out the "good teacher" may
result in discontent, jealousy and professional strife in the school where cooperation is most vital, NEA says.
"Plans which tie teachers' salaries to
tuch subjective rating are to be porously condemned," it said in a l'J57 i evolution still in forte.
But schools where it has been tried
have other ideas.
"Experience with merit salary schedules
in our own system for 10 years leads me
lo believe that merit rating can work,"
says W. L. Cragg, superintendent of
Jthaca, N. V. schools.
The magazine 'The Nation's Schools"
