-tiiiEi voice with the Smll,
I Why Is it that this phrase
has become associated n)
most exclusively with the
telt-shona ODeratop in
; America?
Perhaps It Is because she cas
mora lo smue about
ia so other country baa tele-
pnone service been developed to
the extent that It has in ih
ed States. In no other land Is tho
puouo more appreciative of Its
ervlce or more courteous in its
relations to the operator. The
United States has C3 per cent of
the world's telephones. It has the
most comprehensive system In ex
istence, and the equipment Is a
Bodel for all others lit every na
tion of the globe.
The telephone, bom In America
and gradually developed In thia
country. Is essentially an Ameri
can invention, but without a public
to use U and to demand greater
facilities the efforts of Alexander
Graham Bell and Thomas A. Wat
son and the engineers who fol
lowed them might have proved of
small avail. The American pub
lie, however, has learned to use
the telephone with greater free
dom and ease than do the people
of other nations, with the result
that the telephone baa become In
this' country an important and
neoessary part of our business and
aoclal lite: The telephone girl,
therefore. Is a vital factor In our
everyday existence.
! Telephone operators the world
over are noted for their courtesy,
and especially Is this truo of the
American telephone girl. In many
other countries the operator Is
Just a government clerk, and In no
large country is the number of calls
per person so bleb as In the I'nlted
States. It Is much more difficult
to be courteous under such cir
cu&suaces, but hi ih r.u c...
tem it has been found that - a
rule the most courteous girls axe
the most efflclpnt. vhirh
helps to account for ths greater ef
ficiency of the American service.
The outstanding cisrsclcrlnU'S of
tho American tclcnhone cocrator
are her food h.ulth. hpr hamr
disposition, her faithfulness and
her willingness to face real d in
ger In times of eoitrgcuclo., such
as fires, floods, etc
