MUST NEVER
ACT HUMAN
Her Job Requires Quick
Wits and Ready
Brain.

When you take the telephone re-
celver from its hook, settle yourself
Tor nice chat and wait for the voice
at the other end of the wire to say
Number, please" do you ever stop
to think of the girl who belongs to
that voice? She sounds so unhurried
and calm that you wonder subcon-
sciously why she didn't answer you
several seconds before, and unless
you have visited the telephone ex-
change and marveled at the work
ings thereof, you do not picture her
sitting tense and straight, one of a
long row of operators, their eyes
glued to the high switchboard filled
with countless tiny holes before
them, their arms and hands moving
ceaselessly back and forth as they
answer and connect, besides saying
Number please" to you.
Just anyone cannot be an efficient
telephone operator. A girl must go
to really and truly school for a
month before she is trusted to han
die subscribers calls. and for nine
months after she enters the office
she is considered student. To be
accepted in the school she must bave
had high school education, ner
health must be good and she must
be tall The tiny girl might just as
we'll never have an ambition to be
an operator because the company
will not accept her. 1t takes tall
girls with long arms to make the
long reaches necessary on the
switchboard.
That School for Operators.
She goes to school, this girl who
wants to be telephone operator,
and she learns many things. Just
so many phrases she may use and
beyond them she is a machine; they
are too familiar to all of US to re-
peat here. She learns how to modu-
late her voice and to say Number,
please" with the rising infection,
to which the subscriber will answer
yes or make the correction. She
learns all the rules of service and
OF courtesy by which the company
works, and then she learns to OPP
crate.
A row of girls who are learning
sit at a dummy switchboard and
two instructors sit at two small
boards at the other end of the room
facing the girls backs. These in
structors are at both ends OF the
line; they flash the student operator
and answer the call; they send
through emergency calls and they
put in calls on the sections of the
board devoted to all the different
kinds of service; they send calls
through alternately fast and slow,
giving a girl a number far to one
side of her and then just as far
from her other hand. In short, they
try to give her just as varied ex-
perences as she will meet on the
regular switchboard.
Maze of Jacks and Plugs.
She learns that the countless lit
tie holes on the board facing her
are called jacks; she learns to pick
the plug opposite the light which
tells her a subscriber is calling, the
instant it flashes on, If her hands are
free, and while she is saying Num-
Der, please" she is lifting the cor
responding plug, her eyes arc search
ing the board before her for the

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE-

/ they are called must be an open
book before her eyes so that she
may know instantly how to put
call through to Washington for Mr.
Jones in the office across the street
or get Chicago on the wire and
trace a woman's husband for her
from one hotel to another.
And where minutes are so expen-
sive, the length of your call is not
judged by the operator, but timed
by the memorable clock called a
calculagraph which ticks away be-
tween every two of the toll oper-
ators. She makes out the proper
kind of slip for the call you wish
to put through and on the back she
stamps the moment your connection
is established and the moment you
cease talking by slipping it under
the edge of the clock-like machine
and pulling down a black, handle.
Toll operating is work which must
be exact. painstaking and which
carries with it great deal of sat-
isfaction but it has not the snap and
fascination of local operating.
The Fascination of the Job.
ut is just that fascination of be-
ing the connecting link in all sorts
and kinds of events" one operator
of nine years standing explained,
lust to be the one thing necessary
to make two people happy, to avert
the serious fire, to call the doctor in
time, to close the business deal or
to do countless other things" No
operator in the local board is more
liable than any other to get the one
important cali of the day or hour,
and they are all trained to be ready
for any emergency at any time. On
an emergency call they put through
connections and call the supervisor
to watch the connections; if the
doctor asked for in an accident is
not to be reached, they cali the
nearest one to him.
The severest test which could
come to a girl on an emergency
call happened to one local operator
the other day. She answered
hurry cali for doctor and from the
information given her, she realized
that her own mother was the victim
of the accident. As she turned to
call the supervisor she said in level
tones, ITS my mother" That was
all. The call went through and the
girl sat in her position until the end
of her shift came.
Oh Those Rainy Days.
And how they do hate rainy daysl
In the first place their load is
heavier because everybody tele-
phones instead of going for the
groceries, the dry goods or the ap-
pointment, and secondly every bit
of their apparatus sticks on a wet
day. Cords refuse to slip into their
sockets and tangle each other up.
The average length in service of
a telephone operator is from five to
eight years. The telephone oper-
ator works with all her five senses
at once; she learns to have absolute
control of her nerves and to do two
or three things at once. She learns
not to talk back under any circum-
stances-and she loves her work.
As one girl summed it up. eve no.
tice that no one complains of us as
much or as often after they have
visited us and watched us work-so
we wish more of them would come"
And the other girls who heard.
