A TELEPHONE SCHOOL.
An Odd Institution Which Has Been
Opened in Boston.

An odd sort of school has just been
opened i'll Boston. In the first place.
instead of paying a tuition fee, as they
would in any other private school, the
pupils receive $3.50 a week as compens-
alton for their attendance. Moreover.
when lunch hour comes they are in
vitcd to make use of a comfortable
room. and there is a matron ready to
cook such food as they have brought
with them from home and to serve
them. free of charge. with coffee and
cocoa. Another remarkable thing is
that the instruction is entirely oral.
ana. consequently, the pupils are not
obliged To spend money for textbooks.
Generally new class enters the school
every Monday morning. and another
class is graduated every Saturday
evening. For brevty the course sur
passes probably anything of which You
have ever heard. since it lasts but four
weeks.
This. in substance, describes the
School for Operators of the New Eng
land Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany. 1t represents what may be
styled the twentieth century form of
business school. established conducted
and maintained by an institution which
