AN EXPERT TALKS.
Says Automatic Tele-
phones Are Now
Impracticable.
TOO COMPLICATED.
System Is Expensive and
Liable to Derange-
ment.

Last winter. when telephone opposition
talk was at its height In this city, the
class Of exchange known as the automatic
was discussed at some length In these
columns. Within the past few days there
has been some additional agitation Of the
subject.
An accurate understanding Of the work
ing and mechanism Of the automatic sys-
tenn is rather beyond the comprehension
OF the ordinary individual.
4 man Acknowledged as one Of the fore
most in the application Of electricity in
this branch In New England is stopping
in Worcester at the present time, and has
this to say regarding the automatic sys-
TENS as brought out up 10 the present
1T is impossible to say that an auto
matte system may not be made practical
at the present day but Will say that a
Strictly mountaineering system OF this ma
lure is inpractlcabls on account Of its
cost. Small exchanges could BE- made
practicable, but when the SUBSCRIBERS
numbered over 800, which ! consider
large estimate, the cost would make such
q system prOhibitive.
THE best system Of automatic tele-
phones that has come under my observa-
tion IS operated by delicate and compl1-
Gated system Of push buttons and relays.
There is q sort Of keyboard at each sub
scriber's station. One key may be desig-
mated as the unit key, another the ten
key, another the hundred key, and still
another the thousand key. Two or three
wires at least, as the system may require,
run into each subscribers house or office.
as the case may be. There Is central
office, as in any other exchange, where
the connections are made automatically
For instance, If a subscriber wishes to
call number $50, he steps TO the board,
presses the hundred button three times,
the ten button five times and the unit but
ton nine times. This pressure or turning
operates a. relay In the central office.
which causes an srm-like cOntrivance to
reach ont over the pairs Of wires, resting
on a certain connection at each turn OF
the button until the desired connection is
reached.
Every new line that is brought In
means an additional pair Of wires run
ming along By the side Of those already In
place. together with necessary changes.
II can be readily understood that this sort
of mechanism IS necessarily Of delicate
and complicated nature.
"Of course, automatic toll line business
would be out Of the question unless 1t is
intended to include long distance service
In the rental in which case there would
probably be considerable automatic con-
troversy over who had night 10 the Inc.
Small exchanges might give good sat
isfaction with the system but an ex-
change the size Of what would be expect
ed in Worcester would be outside the
province of the automatic system in my
opinion
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-04-15
is UNPRECEDENTED.
Growth Of Local Telephone Exchange a
Phenomenal One.

The Worcester telephone exchange
has always been looked upon as enc Of
the best in the New England Com
pany's territory, but the phenomenal
growth Of the exchange during the
past few years has surpassed the eX-
pectations of the most sanguine. EN-
ployes Of the local exchange have IRE
dicted that the subscription list would
exceed 2000 before July 1, but the BUS
mess with which the company has been
literally flooded the past few months
has brought about the increase much
sooner than was expected.
Another matter that presents Itself
at this time with painful inconvenience
IS that the company is badly cramped
for facilities to handle the rapidly IN
creasing business. When the present
system was installed as1out three years
ago, it was thought that the facilities
would be ample for several years to
come. but within the past few months
extra cable has been necessary To-
gether with an addition to the present
distributing board. where the cable
comes in, giving capacity Of about
400 lines where there has been but
about 1000 heretofore
Nor is the increase confined 20 the
lower regions alone. Additional SEC
tons Of switchboard both for toll line
and local business, are being prepared,
and will be added to the already large
switchboard. A delegation Of switch
board experts is at work in the Wur-
oester exchange at the present time.
As one Of their number expressed IL,
we must get this work in before long
or the office win be unable 10 handle
its business

Apples and Hay are Not LuSuries for

At the trial Mellen admitted that he
did get apples and hay from Mr.. Pond
but claimed that he was shown to be
insOlvent in 1897 and that hay and ap-
plies were not necessities for the vel
fare Of himself and family and there
fore he did not see why he should pay
for them. Mr.. Pond said that the ar
tcles secured from him by our Jim"
were worth $4S.10. and he secured judg-
ment for this amount yesterday, Judge
Utley deciding that apples and hay are
necessities for a man in Mr.. Mellen' 5
position. Decisions in two other cases

The most notable instance of educational phil
anthropy from purely Hawaiian initiative in the
interest of the Hawaiians was the endowment of
the kamelameha School for girls, by Mrs. Pau-
ahi Bishop. Pauahi was the highest chiefess OF
her time and could have become heir apparent
to the throne had she chosen to be. In her will
she left her whole entire fortune 100000 as all
endowment to the kanefamefa girls, and also
boys, school. Since the establishment of these
schools in 1894 Hon. c. r. Bishop has, from his
private resources, made large endowments to

Education in Hawaii.

The people of Honolulu take natural pride
in their educational institutions. Through igno-
rance, doubtless, many of the newspapers OF the
United States have most grossly nsulted Hawaii
ans by calling them ignorant; a very brief refer
to the history of education will show that at
the very earliest dawn of civilization here; even
when gross ignorance was the rule in Western
America, the chiefs of Hawaii were being assist
ed in obtaining most thorough education at the
Royal School; which was established in 1910.
eight years previous to the date at which the
Charity School was established In 1S41
the Punahou School was started, at first with the
idea of educating the and daughters of the
missionary families, but it was afterwards opened
to all DESTROYS of obtaining education. In 1920
Governor Boki presented the Rev Hiram Bing-
ham with the Punahou property comprising
some three hundred acres which he used as
residence until 84o, after which he presented the
property to the mission for school purposes. The
charter for Punahou School was afterward chang
ed to Oahu College which name it has retained.
Pauah Hall as shown in the accompanying illus
tratlons is one OF the most recently constructed
buildings of Oahu College and was the gift of
Hon. Charles R. Bishop who is one OF Hawais
well known phlanthropists. The alumni OF
Oahu College comprise the very best people of
Honolulu, very large number of whom have
made their mark in the professions and in the
realms of finance
1t is not the province OF this article to discuss
the most excellent public school system that has
been inaugurated in Hawaii. That subject will
be taken up later. There are numerous other ex-
ceent private schools (that will receive the most
careful attention of the writer in other issues nota
BILE among which are St. Andrews Priory (Angli-
CAM, Sisters of the Sacred Heart, Iolani College
(Anglican, kawaiahao Seminary, and old estab-
lished schools on the other islands
st. Louis College (Catholic) was started 10
years ago and is one OF the most important
schools in Hawaii, having an attendance of 500
pupils, 800 in the lower branch and 200 in the
