Of the art of telephony, of which the Bell

It existed. There was no tradition to guide no
experience to follow.
The system. the apparatus, the methods--an
entire new art had TO be created. The art of
electrical engineering did not exist. The Bell
pioneers. recognizing that success depended
upon the highest engineering and technical
skill, at once organized an experimental and
research department which Is now directed by

TELEPHONE ACHIEVEMENTS
TELEPHONE SERVICE OF TODAY THE CREATION OF THE BELL co

until 1905 that conversation could be had over
long-distance circuits of which as much as 20
miles was In underground cables. BY 1906
underground talking stance had increased TO
80 miles. BY 1912 It was possible to talk un-
derground from New York to Washington.
II was then that the construction Of under
ground conduts from Boston to Washington
was determined upon,-not that II was ex-
pected to get a through underground talk be-
tween those places, but in case Of storm or
blizzard to utilize intermediate sections in
connection with the overhead.
Our persistent study and incessant expert
mentaton have produced results more re-
markable still.
We have perfected cables, apparatus and
methods that have overcome obstacles hereto
fore regarded as insuperable both to long-dis-
tance overhead and underground converse
ton.
Underground conversation is now possible
between Boston and Washington. four times
the length Of the longest European under
ground line. This enabled the Bell system In
the recent great storm, so destructive on land
and sea, to maintain communication for the
public between all the principal points on the
Atlantic. seaboard.
Telephone communication Is established be-
tween New York and Denver. is potentially
possible between all points in the United
States, and by 1915 will be an accomplished
fact between New York and San Francisco.

In our use of methods or apparatus. we are
comm tied TO no one system. We own. con-
troll or have the right TO use inventions neces-
sary to operate any system recognized or ac-
cepted as the most efficient. The Bell System
must always recognize. and in its selection
must always be governed by the necessities OF
a national service, with its complex require
ments. which is infinitely more exacting than
local or limited service
These achievements represent vast expendi-
tures of money and immense concentration OF
effort which have been Justified by results OF
immeasurable benefit to the public No local
company unaided could bear the financial or
scientific burden Of this work. Such results
are possible only through central zed general
stan, avoiding wasteful duplication of effort
working out problems common to all, for the
benefit Of all.
The pioneers Of the Bell System recognized
that telephone service as they saw It, was In
the broadest sense q public utility; that upon
them rested public obligation to give the
best possible service at the most reasonable
rates consistent with risk, investment and the
continued improvement and maintenance Of
its property.
without this expenditure Of millions and
concentration Of effort, the telephone art as it
exists could not have been developed.
What We have done in work ng out these
great problems In the past should be accepted
as a guarantee Of what we will do IN the future.
