THE TELEPHONE
AND ELECTRICAL
SUPPLY GROWTH
IA. L. Salt Tells of Develop
rnent of Distributing
Business

*Great as was the ambition of
Alexander Graham Bell, the results
Of his. patient and slillful study have
far exceeded his fondest dreams.
Thus Albert Lincoln Salt. president
of the Gfaybar Electric Company,
eulogizes the man and the industry
whose fftiefh anniversary the world
is celebrating this month in a state
nlent to appear in the current Issue OF
Telephone Engineer.
How well ! remember the ridicuie
TO which Bell and Watson were sub
iected during the period of expert
inentation, and how difficult it was to
obtain. money with which to exploit
the business" Mr.. Salt said But
that little toy has become the nation S
most valuable asset. What would we
do without it And yet, we have
hardly scratched the surface of the
possibilities of telephone communica-
ton.
There is goirYg on at the present
time, for example,. phase of deyel-
opment work that is playing vital
role in making the telephone of ever
greater Importance to modern ciyiliza-
ton. l refer to the splendid dis
tributing organizations that have been
built up to supply not only telephone
instruments, but that vast group of
accessories so necessary 10 the COM
spaRies furnishing telephone service TO
this country
Telephone transmitters, receivers
and induction coils are vitality inn
portant in themselves. yet transmit
ter in itself could never pick up a
sound wave without a battery, and
without wire and cable, the sound
&ave could never be transmitted to
some other point. Without switch
boards il would be impossible for one
station to talk to anyone of the mil
lions of other stations. Without
poles, cross-arms and insulators. it

would not be possible 10 bridge the
space between centrai Offices.
1.-THE selection. purchase and dis
tribution Of all these accessories CON
stifutes a gigantic business in itself.
Purchase engineering has come into
its own As a rcsnlt the handling
and storing of telephone accessories
and equipment has been developed into
a particular science.
sOut OF this supply side of telephone
development has grown the electrical
distributing business. The Western
Electric Company, as manufactur-
ing, distributing and supply company,
discovered that It was serving so
many customers outside the Bell Sys-
TEN, that it was necessary to organize
separate department to handfe this
part OF the business. This depart
naert, known as the Supply Depart
mert. grew steadily until on January
1, 1926, it was Incorporated separately
under the name, Graybar Electric
Company.

Schools of Minnesota Will
Receive Over 100000
Semi-Annual Apportionment Will Be
Made Soon-Stearns County's
Share To Be $3S,200

Public school treasures throughout
the state will shortly be enriched to
the extent of $2,032, 1874, the amount
representing the senri-annual appor-
tionment of the Current School Fund.
Checks bearing the signature of
Ray P. Chase, State Auditor, were
this week forwarded ito the eighty
seven county treasures of the slate,
who, in turn, will distribute lie
an cunt noted among the public
schools of their respective districts.
Stearns county's share of this
seni-annual distribution of state
schro, money is $38,290 90 and is
based on public school enrolment
of $3.50 listed at the close of the
school year, ending July 81 last.
Pupils attending school the required
number of days share to the extent
of 90 each.
The October distribution of the
Current School Fund represents, the
earnings of the State School Trust
Funds and returns from the one mill
school tax. The one other distribu-
ton from this sanme source is in
March of each year.
According to tabulations filed by
the various county school superin-
tendents with the State Board of Ed
ucation, the total public school en-
rollment for the year ending July 81
last was $4,000. This is net gain
of 3,943 pupils over the previous
year and at the same time, the av-
erage daily attendance rose from
1891 or eighty per cent of Ia.
total enrolment, to ass, $50, or
eighty-two per cent.
In all, 508,091 pupils, who at
tended school the required number of
days, participate in the distribution,
each being credited with a school at
tendance of 144.2 for the year. As
stated, the distribution is on the basis
of 81 90 per pupil, which was tie.
figure year ago.
Naturally the population centers
share the heaviest because of their
large enrolment. Hennepin county,
with 87,163 pupils listed, receives a
check for $348,652; Ramsey county
with 43,010 pupils receives S172 040,
and st. Louis county with $4,000 pu-
pills, receives $216,396. The smallest
