central" AND HER WORK

The telephone company is engaged in
what has become one of the most i'm
portant of public services. Its purpose
Is to put people into communication
with each other in the quickest way
possible and to maintain communication
without interruption. Above all, it en-
deavors to perform this function al
ways performed under eXacting conditions
and frequently in the face of terrible
ditficulues-with unfailing courtesy.
The New England company, having
provided a most efficient plant for the
needs of each individual community.
trains its operators painstakingly before
ii allows them to handle the public's
business, and supervises their work
closely after they are assigned to the
regular switchboards of its exchanges.
Applicants for positions as operators
must meet high personal standards before
they are accepted even as students The
care with which the raw material so to
speak. is selected appears in the fact
that only 60 per cent of the applicants
who present themselves are finally en-
ployed One of the advantages of the
training system is that II enables a young
woman who finds her ideas about the
work to have been wrong to withdraw
without waste of time or embarrassment
and allows the company to determine
pretty definitely the ultimate fitness of
the candidate before the interests of tel
ephone users have been entrusted to her
AS students the operators are taught
to do their work intelligently as well as
with mechanical precision They are
given practice in the actual operation of
the switchboard, Special apparatus being
provided for that purpose and are edu-

varied situations likely to arise when

John Wesley Gould, who died in Kent,

illness of two months from the weakness
incident to old age, was born in Guilford

Eliza Post a Saybrook, Ct, girl by blrth'
This marriage relation lasted until her
death in 1882 Mr.. Gould united with the

trust Three children survive him, Aaron

The discipline of the central Office is
strict, but every employe is treated with
the utmost consideration. The amount

unfavorably the quality of the service
Besides the chief operator there are SUI

The New England company takes
great pride in its operating force. 1t be-
lieves that in no industry is there to be
found a more efficient, earnest faithful
set of employes-faithful alike to the
company and to the public TO which the
company is responsible. The work of
the telephone operator has taken no

of "Central's" character, and the greater
consideration which follows better &C

Low record mark in the number OF
inmates in the house of correction was
reached recently. III. High mark was
reached October "a, 1905. when 237 pTis-
oners were detained. The law passed by
the last legislature, providing for the
commitment of DRINKS, tramps, and other
minor Offenders to the county jail of the
county in which the offense was commit
ted, has worked exceptionally well in re-
leving the overcrowded condition at the
house of correction which prevailed at
the institution during a large part OF
the years 1905 and 1906. Some of the
police officers and deputy sheriffs about
the state are much dissatisfied with the
new law as 1t deprives them of a good
deal of easy money which they used to
get i'm fees and mileage when they took
prisoners to the institution.
