THOROUGH INSTRUCTION
 FOR TELEPHONE OPERATOR
She Must Take Course of Several Weeks to Pass Required Examina- ton.

In the olden days the education of a telephone operator was brevity it. self. She applied for q position, was accepted by the chief operator. if ad- to work. Today the system has changed. The applicant goes to the chief operator at the Norwich or any other exchange in the same old way but she is put through q thorough, ex- haustive course before she is even al- lowed a. position at the switchboard, with the result that the operator of today understands the tools she uses, the use to which she is to put them. and the fundamentals of the business of giving telephone service.
 The applicant is first questioned by the chief operator and asked for refer ences. Her hearing, eyesight and gen. eral health are then carefully investi- gated, for your good operator must be alert, quick, and above all, physically fit to meet the demands of her posi- tfon.
 Upon passing these tests-and they are tests in every sense of the word she is placed in the operating school, supervised by an experienced opera tor who devotes her entire time to this work. She is taught the makeup of the switchboard and the uses of it's many parts. She learns the tones of the different bells. the fire hospital and other emergency numbers in her exchange. She is instructed in the quickest method of answering and calling subscribers so that the work may be done with the least possible lost motion and time. In fact every thing she must meet. when actually at work comes up in the school course.
 This information she obtains from lectures by the instructor and actual work on switchboards and instruments set up in the school room. This DOT ton of the course completed, she is seated behind an experienced operator at the central office switchboard that she may accustom herself to the sound of the voice over the wire.
 At the end of the course-which GOV CTS several weeks-she is given a written and then an oral examination. It is interesting to note that practi- cally every accepted applicant passes these tests with an average of over ninety out of one hundred
 This system is in force that new operators, when put at work. may have all the theoretical and practical experience possible aside from actual work on the exchange switchboard Your new operator of today is not the applicant of yesterday, but the gradu- ate of the present
