PUBLIC SERVICE.
Editorial from the Asheville IN. c..
CitiZen)

Editorial from the Asheville IN. C.
Citizen)
In recent years the great public
service corporations have taken new
their employees that in all their rela-
tions to the public uniform courtesy
and politeness shall prevail. The re-
suit has been that a higher state of
efficiency has been attained in all de-
partments of public utilities, and
what is more, the 'man with a
crouch, he whose chief interest in
life has been to find fault with every
thing and everybody with which and
with whom he has no personal con-
cern, has found his field rapidly mar
rowing.
1t is more often than not the case,
however, that the public, or rather
certain portion of it, shows scant
courtesy where it desires and de-
mands much. Take for instance, the
telephone service which is anathema
of all man kind, whether it deserves
it or not. AS is generally known, tel
ephone operators, and they are nearly
always of the gentler sex, are re-
quired to be polite at all times and
under all circumstances" 1t is writ
ten law that telephone girl must
take even foul abuse from some drum
ken loafer without reply. One can
regard that rule as he sees fit, but
it is a poor rule that doesn't work
both ways.
The public is impatient with the
telephone girl, for the most part be-
cause she is invisible, and again, be-
cause of conditions over which she
has no control, such as a neglectful
subscriber who fails to answer his tel
ephone when he is called. In case of
this sort the telephone operator is
absolutely blameless, yet we heard
men, and women, too, Derate "cen-
trail" and later report her to higher
authorities because "they couldn't get
any answer" In many cases it hap
when his telephone number is called,
yet the unfortunate operator is
blamed for this too.
Telephone users should at all times
extend that courtesy and politeness
which they demand from those who
serve them. Life at it's best is not
a rosy one for the telephone girl, as
visit to any city exchange will read
lily show. The trouble is that the
"dear public" knows SO little of what
it is talking about when it "kicks"
from force of habit, that little edu-
cation in the sphere of public utilities
would go long way and might ac-
compiish some good.
The foregoing remarks are appli-
able to all lines of public service-the
railroads, street car systems, and tel
egraph lines. In all of these the pub
lie expects much, and is willing to
give bet little.
