High school students learned

nation manager Of the Chesapeake

subject, In his lecture, Mr.. Hill
traced the development OF the tele,
phone from the time OF its inven,

Graham Bell, supplementing his
talk with stereopticon views. More
than 60 slides, showing the differ.
ent phases in the evolution OF tho
telephone from its infancy until the
present time, were shown.

Hospital Installs
Private Exchange

The Cook hospital now has its
own private telephone exchange
with the number 1000. The install.
lation Of private exchange has
been considered for a long time
The old appliance consisted Of n
couple OF office telephones, which
took care of incoming calls, and a
house system of one telephone on
each floor, which was called by
means OF q code OF rings from a
connecting phone in the office
Messages had to be transmitted by
the office attendant from the reg.
ular phones to those giving inter.
floor service.
The method was burdensome. An
inquiry about a patient meant
that the office attendant must
leave her work, receive the in.
quiry, go to the house phone, call
the floor upon which the patient
was located, repeat the inquiry to
the patients nurse, and transmit
the answer to the inquirer, pro.
cess that was attended by much
delay and annoyance all around.
Now that a regular switch board
has been installed with instant
connection to arI parts Of the build.
ing and with some one to take care
OF 1t promptly, there is great sat.
isfaction, it is said. There is no
public institution id the city that
receives more calls than the Cook
hospital. Besides the hundreds of
inquiries which come in daily about
patients in the building, many Of
them long distance calls, there is
incessant telephoning to locate the
numbers Of physicians who are in
the institution during all hours and
to inquire for nurses that may be
needed in the homes.
Taking care OF these calls under
such adverse circumstances as ex.
listed, with practically the whole
burden falling upon an attendant
who was already busily engaged in
office work, was one OF the dis.
advantages under which the hos.
pital labored for years. The new
system means a great deal both to
the public and to. those on duty
in the institution, It is said.
