Every girl cannot be telephone
girl, as many applicants learn, 20
their appointment. Girls who can
hear and girls able to maintain the
reputation of the sex for talking
often fail in what is required by the
telephone companies. The trouble
is not in the educational, but in the
physical tests, says the New York
Herald.
Some education is required. as
matter OF course. bur the greater at
tention is paid TO hearing and speak
ing. The applicant must possess au-
ditory nerves able clearly 20 distin-
guish words in ali sorts Of convcrsa-
tion, regardless OF surrounding
noises and the frequent interfering
sounds on the telephone liae.
Then, above ALL She must not only
be able TO talk, but know how to
talk. Defect OF speech IS fatal Ar
ticulation, pitch Of voice and general
self-possession are most carefully
considered. and examination in these
requisites is Of necessity conducted
viva yoce
There is a test in the very manner
IN which the applicant goes through
the examination. Amy Indication Of
nervousness, hysteria or want OF self
possession Will cause rejection OF the
candidate.
The greatest stumbling block Is
tho voice, for the majority % girls
are not clear in their enunciation
and very many have strongly
marked twang that Is certain to
cause their rejection.
