In those days people looked upon
the telephone as luxury, to be en-
Joyed only by the wealthy few. and
the Sl.5O per year rental which we
had to pay was lavish expenditure
permissible only to the ralaxed fibed
of the morally extravagant. The col
lege faculty were the nabobs of the

college was paid $1,000 per year
and the principal professors $1,000
each. There was no thought Of a
rural telephone system at that time
as the farmers would favor nothing
that was recommended by he "tid
gloved profs."

LEAGUE OF NATIONS MEETS TODAY
WITH39COUNTRIE REPRESENTED
FIRST PHONE IN KANSAS
Made In College Blacksmith Shop
Back in '70s

One of the first things which / re-
member about the telephone was
the fact that the final was sounded
in the pronunciation of the name.
Out west here we did not have q
very definite idea if what the tele-
phone might be, or what it was for,
though the few of us who could af-
ford to go to Centennial at Phila-
delphia were able to report hat we
could exchange words clear across
one of the buildings there by means
of it. And so, on those rare occasions
when we needed to mention the tele-
phone we called it the "tel-e-phon-y"
thus sounding the final letter and
giving rise to my first joke about it
in which ! attempted to telephony
story. / am satisfied that it was
phoney story all right.
The second joke was as attempt to
play upon the derivatioe of the word
telephone "Tel" from the Greek
Cor was it Choctaw?) for distance,
aid "phone" for sound to tell at
distance-to tell it to everybody.
Rather a labored joke in those days,
but then that was before we had
rural lines. | am satisfied that the
man who named this instrument was
president of the rural line of today
The first telephone in Kansas was
made in the blacksmith and carpen-
ter shop of the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college at Manhatten. 1t was
a pretty crude affair when compared
with those of today, but in the late
'70s when this was the only one in
kansasitpwasodite Cid
Kansas it was thought to be won
der. But with all its crudity it
worked sufficiently for the purpose
of illustration in the class room and
thus fulfilled he object for which it
was made.
The magnet in this pioneer
instrument was made of half-inch
octoganal steel bar. 1t was wound
with wire from an old telegraph re-
lay held in place by cardboard disks
fitted about the magnet. The, shell
for this magnet was turned from
black walnut on a college footpower
lathe. The complied system con-
sisted of two of the homemade re-
ceivers, one at each end of the line,
and its use necessitated the holding
of the instrument to the mouth when
talking and then removing it o the
ear for hearing.
JOKE ON A PROF.
Some funny things happened. Our
senior professor, a man of great dig
nifty of bearing, was trifle absent
minded and he persisted for some
time holding the telephone to his
ear when he talked and to his mouh
when he listened In hose days the
college had a telegraph line evtend-
ing from the town of Manhatten to
the college buildings on the hill about
two miles to the northwest. This af-
forded an excellent equipment for
experimenting with the telephone,
but with our crude instruments we
could not cover any very great dis /
lance. We had no such thing as a
and did not know of its .
existence at firA. While We did not
get far with our home made instru-
ments We did keep our interest in the

WHY EDUCATION

II desire my child to have a good
education so that he will not have to
work as hard as his father and mother. !"
This is statement frequently made by
men and women who are not well in
formed upon the true purpose OF ed.
ucation. They seem to think education
is for the purpose of preparing aper-
son for leisure instead of preparing
for larger service.
Education which does not make men
and women stronger and more capable
of discharging life's activities is not
worth having. 1t must be admitted
that a certain amount of enjoyment
cen be obtained by being intelligent
upon the various things of life, but the
true object and purpose of education is
to prepare people to do more and bet
ter work.
Mr.. ]. M. Mcconnell, state comma
sioner of education of Minnesota, re
Gently declared that the kind of ed
ucation that educates away from in
dustry ia a great misfortune to the indi-
vidusl as we'll as to the state. Students
should 90 to school with the purpose in
mind of working harder when they get
out. Every true educator enunciates
these truths, but somehow many people
who have not enjoyed the opportunity
OF receiving a broad education have
gathered the erroneous idea that ed
ucation istpot sought for the purpose
of creating more capable individual
but rather to fit oneself for an easy,
happy go-lucky sort of life. Education
that prepares a person for larger serv-
ice invariably leads TO greater enjoy
ment, for enjoyment is not found by
seeking leisure or money, but rather by
rendering q useful service to the state
and nation.
