THEODORE N. VAIL

1 As president of the American
 Telephone & Telegraph company
 Theodore Newton Vail was the head of the largest telephone system in
 the world. He was not only its
 nominal head, but he was from the first the genius that promoted tine popular use of the telephone, the
 first man to establish long-distance
 communication by telephone, and,
 when past seventy years of age, he
 was still the initiative head of a system that numbered nine million telephone subscribers and represent ed an investment of billion and
 half dollars.
 Mir. Vail was 31 years old when Alexander Graham Bell invented the
 telephone, and, notwithstanding his age, he was filling the responsible post of general superintendent of the railway mail service. Still ear Her, however, he had been a tele- graph operator and, interested in the possibilities of electrical com
 munication, he had visions that Bells "toy" would some day be a great factor in American life. Bell and his associates had equal faith in MT. Vail's organizing genius, for he had already made a name for himself as an organizer in the pro- motion of the railway mail service, and he was easily induced to resign his government post to become gen eral manager, in 1878, of the first
 American Bell Telephone company.
 Mir. Vail was known as "the big gest telephone man in the world" not only in tribute to his genius for
 both mechanical and financial or
 ganization, but from the fact that
 he was personally a man of re-
 markable physique. He was six feet two inches tall, and weighed about 2SO pounds. With this great
 physique he had an infinite capaci- ty for hard work, and a genial dis position.
 He was born in Carroll county, Ohio, July 16, 1845, of Quaker an-
 gentry. His father, Davis Vail,
 removed from Ohio to Morristown,
 N. J., when the son was four years
 old, and became associated with a
 brother, Stephen Vail, who had

music, books and pictures, and the outdoor life. He had one of the finest libraries in the state of Yer mont. The house on his 3,5OO-acre farm at Lyndonville, although beau tiful, was home rather than q palace. In it he had built a $40. .O0O pipe-organ, and once every year he made the practice of bringing up from New York some of the finest musicians to give concert, to which lie invited the country people fo: miles around. He also established a farm school, hoping to encourage Vermont boys to take up scientiE: agriculture and remain in the coun. try He believed that New England was facing a great renaissance.
