The Operator

Consider the telephone girl, my
son: she is not q college graduate,
nor is she trained in law, yet
Solomon in all his glory had not
questions to answe like she has
and does every day.
Central, where's the firef'
els the price of eggs any
higher'o
"What's the price of cottonl'
Central, this system is rotten
give me errim, errum, cram.
Wrong number, Central, ID"
And through it all her voice
murmurs politely, "Number,
pleaseln and her hands flash in
and out at the switchboard like
well-oiled machinery. Yet the
human race considers her its
natural enemy. More blame is
laid at her door than on the Viii.
son administration.
Remember that she is only
human and it takes her Just as
long to find out these things and
as much time away from her work
as it would you. For all this in
formation she sometimes gets a
'Thank you," but is more often
bawled out for not knowing
more about the Mexican situation
than Teddy Roosevelt.
Threats, jeers, impatient and
cutting remarks are hurled at her
from every side and she answers
them all the best she can with
quickness and p%oliteness.
If, sometimes, under the sting
of unmerited abuse and useless
sarcasm she arouses and takes up
for herself; if sometimes she
makes mistakes, pat yourself in
her place. Could you do equally
as wclli SO next time you call,
remember that a real live girl is
making your connection, not a
piece of machinery, and have a
little politeness and patience and
treat her human and you'll find
your service increased in quick
ness, accuracy and pleasantness.-
