In no line Of human endeavor has the inven.
tive brain Of the scientist contributed more
to the worlds progress than by the creation
OF the art Of telephony, Of which the Bell sys.
tenn 10 the embodiment.
When the telephone was born, nothing an.
a'ogous to telephone service az we now know
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 re.
search department which 10 now directed by
a staff Of over $50 engineers and scientists, in.
Guiding former professors, postgraduate stu
dents, scientific investioators-the graduates
From ito foundation the company has con-
tinuously developed the art. New improve
ments IN telephones, switchboards, lines, Ca
bles, have followed one another with remark
able rapidly.
While each successive type Of apparatus to
the superficial observer suggested similarity.
each step in the evolution marked a decided
improvement. These changes, this evolution,
has not only been continuous, but 10 continu-
ing. Substantially all Of the plant now in use,
including telephones, switchboards, cables and
wires, has been constructed, renewed or re-
constructed in the past 10 years..
changes been 90 radical that installations cost
ing in the aggregate millions have frequently
been discarded after only a few years Of use.
Since 1887 there have been introduced So
styles Of transmitters. OF the 12,ooo,ooo teIe.
phone receivers and owned by the
Bell Company January I, 1914, none were in
use prior to 1902, while the average age is less
than five years.
Within 10 years we have expended for con.
struction and reconstruction an amount more
than equal to the present book Of value Of our
entire plant.

Telephone communication 10 established be.
tween New York and Denver, 10 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
troll or have the right to use inventions neces-
sary to operate any system recognized or &C.
cepted az the most efficient. The Bell sys.
tenn must always recognize, and in its selection
must aIawys be governed by the necessities Of
a national service, with it's complex require.
ments, which 10 infinitely more exactine than
local or limited service.
These achievements represent vast expendi.
lures Of money and immense concentration Of
effort which have been justified by results Of
immeasurabIe benefit to the public. No local
scientific burden Of this work. Such results
are possible only through a centralized general
staff, 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 az they saw il was In
the broadcast sense a public utility; that upon
them rested q public obligation to give the
best possible service at the most reasonable
rates consistent with risk, investment and the
continued improvement and maintenance Of
it's property.
Without this expenditure Of millions and
concentration Of effort, the telephone art az it
exists could not have been developed.
What we have done in working out these
great problems in the past should be accepted
as a guarantee Of what we will do in the future.
