a whole nation is advanced by the brushing away
OF the physical restraints of centuries.
This contribution to the future happiness and
prosperity of a closely united people has
not been brought about however, by the over
coming of few isolated concrete difficulties
Its success has depended upon the exercise of
the highest engineering and technical skill and
the solution found only in the cumulative eff
feet of Improvements great and small, in tele-
phone, transmitter, line, cable, switchboard, and
every other piece OF apparatus plant required
in the transmission Of speech.
In this work the experimental and research
department of the Bell System of which this
Company is part has been engaged ever since
the telephone became commercial possibility,
less than 40 years ago. With no traditions to
follow and no experience to guide, this depart

$50 engineers and scientists including former
professors, post graduate students, scientific in

benefit to the public. The transcontnental tele-

nary work Of the house. commencing before and
continuing after the child is born.
Doctor Saleeby said that it was q sign Of
progress that in q Calvinistic chapel people
should consider the claims of the unmarried
mother, and he characterized the work that was
about to be undertaken not only a. religious but
as hygienic IN the highest sense Of the word.
In so far as you save . single young mother
from the life Of the streets" he said you are
protecting the future generation from indescrfble
evils"
Mrs. Lloyd-George, who IL deeply interested
in the experiment of caring for unmarried moth
ers on constructive lines. was unable to attend
the meeting. having been called into the country
to her little girl. who is ILL., With many others
