Reading.

Reading in the new course of
study is emphasized as probably the
most important subject in the schools
Teachers are instructed to train the
children to read for the thought
rather than for expression, so silent
rather than reading aloud Is recon-
mended. The plan is for the children
to read silently from the printed
page, close their book and then stand
before the class and tell what he has
read. In this way the child not only
learns to read quickly and for the
thought, but he acquires the desira-
bility TO stand on his feet, face 9TH
er people and use the English Ian
guage. He learns to speak correctly,
as criticism is an important part of
the work. The idea Is that habits of
correct speech are infinitely more

hook. In cases of this kind the
operator notifies the wire chief who
attaches the machine to the line

thorne, ILL.,, and is the latest of that
type. The moment a subscriber
takes down his receiver, a light
shows on the switch board and
when answered by the operator
throws a second light on another
part of the board. The operator
then receives the desired number
and rings the party called. AS
soon as party called takes down
receiver another light appears
directly under the light of the
party calling. AS long as these
companion lights remain, the oper-
ator knows that the conversation
is still being carried on without
"going onto the line" When
either receiver is returned to the
hook, lights disappear thus notify
ing the operator that the line may
be cleared. The switch board is
in four positions: long distance,
one combination for ranch lines
and local, and two local boards.
The operator in any position can
answer any line that comes in on
any other switch board. If an
operator is busy, the second or
third operator can take the call.

from alternating by passing through

nowhere in the state have they put

have here.

wire and business home are among
the accomplished telephone facts
for nineteen-twelve.
Located on Adams street below
Second avenue, the company erect
ed neat brick building, with
plate glass front and of plan
drawn for their especial needs
When the company's engineers
looked over the ground, they ad-
vised building with the splendid
future of Monte Vista in mind,
and thus it was carried out.
The building has public off ce
and managers Office in front, with
operating room, rest room for
operators, and terminal room at
the rear. A basement houses the
heating plant and on the rear of
the lot is established store room.
The lighting features and ventilat-
ing arrangement of the building
are modern and adequate. The
company's affairs are managed
locally by Chas. B. Rumsey who
has been in charge since April II
of the present year.
All wires are brought into the
building underground through two
800 pair cables. The entire town
has been covered with cables, ap-
proximately 8 miles having been
strung. New poles also have been
placed throughout. and all wires
have been removed from First ave-
nue. except at alley crossings; all
cables strung in alleys with the ex-
ception of two blocks on Third
avenue. There are not to exceed
two miles of open wires within the
city limits. Since the company
has made these Improvements all
four-party lines have been cut out,
and much improved service is now
furnished through the use of one
party and two party lines, and the
installation of new phones.
When the equipment was planned,
the probable growth of Monte Vista
for the next ten years was taken
into consideration, and plenty Of
space was left for the installation
of added wires was allowed. OF
the 800 lines at present on the
switch board, AIS are now in use,
and service is furnished to 500
subscribers.
The operating room is in charge
of six operators, including chief

that last month an average OF
5000 calls were answered during
