Must Attend School,

Columbia, Sept. 15.-Morris G..
Lumpkin, assistant attorney general,
has given an opinion in which he holds
that the state compulsory attendance
school act means that the children
must attend eighty consecutive days
instead Of spread indiscriminatcly
through the school year. Any other
Interpretation would practically in
validate the law, he says.
The law was passed at the last scs-
sion of the general assembly to COM
pei all children between the ages Of
6 and II years to attend school four
months or eighty days. There has
been some confusion, but as the law
says consecutive months. he says it
means consecutive days.

You've heard the silvery, smile-voict
chirp Number please" and if you
are romantically inclined, you have
pictured the girl dream Of beauty,
endowed with the sweet disposition
YOU expect Of your ideal.
Perhaps you became SO interested
that you sought an Introduction.
Maybe you were disappointed. 1t was
because phonetics and infections did
not convey TO you the real appearance
and personality Of the person whose
voice charmed.
1t Is not 50 with the young women
that man the switchboards at the
telephone exchange in Macon. They
can judge appearances to nicely
from tones that come over the busy
wires.
Not H0IlO Girls.
And in the beginning it may as well
be understood they are not Hello
Girls" There was time. when the
business Of transmitting conversation
was in it's infancy, that they could
be so termed. But now Hello" Is
stricken from the telephone code. 1t
is useless and consumes time. Then,
too, it sounds naughty if the accent
is misplaced.
They don't like the word and they
resent It's application to their profess
sion.
Answer With Question.
Perfect enunciation, tact, initiative
and courtesy are the essentials Of
successful careers. They are taught
to answer calls with questions. When
number is given they repeat with
emphasis on the last figure as if as
that correct?" This prevents many
mistakes.
When the line is busy they say so
in tones that convey. II am very sorry,
but I cannot give you the number
now; the line Is busy" OF course, 1t
would be impossible TO carry on such
long conversations without delaying
service, but Zines busy" conveys the

has an important message. 1t means
dollars to him. His nerves are key

then finds it busy.

What's the matter | cant get that

accompanies the complaint
Sympathetic Zone.
Lines busy"-and the sympathetic
tone comes into play as if to say, 81
am really very sorry; can get your
party in few minutes"
Usually the ire leaves the voice at
the other end Of the line. and the man
feels that Goals of fire have been heap
ed upon his head.
But sometimes even the smie-voice
fails to overcome the chronic crouch.
Complaints are made. All arc care
