Rs The case may be-simpiy takes the
telephone on the desk or ono near by
snd asks the operator for the number
of the telephone in the stenography
classroom. When the connection lie
esta blishsd q request is made for
stenographer to whom dictation may
be given.
When the letter has been taken In
shorthand this student calls another
number In the school and arranges for
tipping It. The finished copy ID given
to an instructor for correction and
grading, after which the letter Is
passed through other departments,
aided by the use OF the telephone.
Another innovation in the Wheeling
High School this year is ths sstab-
lishment of bank and stock ex-
change, similar in practice and routine
to its more mature prototype in the
outside world Students are per
mitted to make loans on the bank,
cash checks and transact other bust
ness that will give them working
knowledge of the principles of bank
ing and finance.
Interest in the student bank later
in the year, will be made to depend
on the stock market quotations for
amy particular day, and students will
then be taught the method of seeking
and procuring sound stock and bond
investments. The telephone service
in the school will play an important
part in the ultimate success of these
latter two branches of the schools
commercial department
The telephone training course is de-
signed to instruct students in the
proper manner of using telephone
for business purposes. He or she, as
the case may be, must learn the prop
er phraseology in use by leading mer-
camille firms. The student must re-
ceive through continued practice
working knowledge of telephone or
ganization. The necessity of being
courteous at all times, under all cir
cumstanees is impressed on each
student
While the student training course
at the Wheeling High School has not
received much notice outside of the
city, it is possible that in future
months, and years it may be taken
~
country as model for similar courses.
West Virginia educators who have,
had the opportunity Of visiting the
commercial school and witnessing a
practical demonstration Of the train
ing methods are convinced that it is
another progressive step in business
training.

Wheeling High School inaugurates
telephone service course Bxcersnt
results being obtained says school
board.
The Wheeling Independent School
District has Just installed complete
private branch exchange switchboard
system for the instruction Of students
OF the commercial business depart
ment 1t Is believed to be the first
installation OF It's kind in the United
States. The PIX" serves twelve e1-
tension telephones located throughout
the school. Students act as operators
and business men and women. In
this way, they are Instructed in the
proper methods of transa3Eing busi-
ness by telephone.
Ben r. Hamilton, business manager
of the school. rs largely responsible
for the installation which has Just
been completed by the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company OF
West Virginia under the supervision
of Fred R. DunndnE manager
Mr.. Hamilton was approached by a
well-known business man Of Wheel
ing, who had just employed young
man, recently graduated from high
school, but who seemed to have no
knowledge of the proper method OF
oosducting business conversation by
telephone Whan this young graduate
reported for work, he was assigned
the task OF answering the telephone
until he became accustomed to the
ONCE routine The head OF the firm
inadvertently overheard the boy an
swer the first telephone call and was
amazed at the lack Of training that
was shown in his manner, language
and voice
When the business man next saw
Mr.. Hamilton he inquired II 1t would
not be possible to teach the CONNER
cial students the proper method of
using the telephone in an office or
business establishment This sugges-
tion caused the business manager Of
schools to give more than passing
thought to the subject The longer
he thought of the proposition the
more he was convinced that 1t would
be departure from the customary
trend of commercial training now in
vogue in public high schools, but was
something with which everyone should
be thoroughly familiar.
After Mr.. Hamilton had approached
telephone officials with his proposition
he was ready to divulge his secret to
members of the Board OF Education.
This body passed on the measure
unanimously and congratulated Mr..
Hamilton on his foresight.
All calls on the switchboard are
handled with expert direction by girl
students who are assigned as opera.

Eestigation and for a reasonable time

upholds z Per Cent Minimum =
The majority took the view that
public utilities are entitled to re-
turn of not less than. Z per cent be-
cause values of utilities fuctuate and
owners must bear the decline.
Referring to a former decision de-
claring that to ascertain value in rate
making the present as compared with
the original cost Of construction were
among other matters for consideration,
the court explained that this did not
mean that the original cost or the
present cost or some figure arbitrarily
chosen between these two is to be
taken as the measure" The weight
to be given figures and other items
or classes of evidence must be deter
mined, 1t stated, "in the light of the
facts of the case in hand"
The court placed a value of not
less than s1s,0OOOOO on the Tndianapo-
lis Water Co. and found that on that
value the rates fixed by the Indiana
utilities commission were too low.
Justice BranSesss Is delivering the
minority opinion, asserted that repro
duction cost was not conclusive evil
dence Of values and said the Supreme
Court had SO held in unanimcus de-
cisions.

FTHAT'S in name often has a
H"R distinct bearing on furnish
AN ing telephone information.
The information bureau is
all that the name implies
and is very necessary part of the
telephone seryics for every commun-
ity. 1t is maintained to supply the
telephone number Of those subscribers
who have been furnished service since
the closing OF the latest directory.
Another function OF the information
bureau is to assist telephone users in
locating the numbers OF those sab
seribers whom the calling party can
not locate In the directory.
This is very frequently due to Ire
ce Hing party net knowing the proper
spelling Of the name; for Instance
Baer might be spelled Bair Or Bare
and Cain might very readily be Kane
OF Kafn while Cohen might be Cohan,
Cosa or Kohsn II johnson is asked
for, the aa1fins party might want
Johsses johnson, Johnston or John

and Lea Is frequently confused with
Lee or Leigh. Read might be Reid
or Rsede, While Rhodes might be
spelled Rhoades or Roads. Shepard
is another name that M often confused
with Sheppard or Shepherd and Smith
might DO Just plain Smith or 1t might
be smithe, Smyth, Smythe, Smidt,
Schmid, Schmidt or Schmtt
Sometimes people are not sure Of
the initials of name or do not know
where Q person lives although they
may have the correct spelling of the
name. This, Of course, in a handicap
to the information operator who can
not be supposed to furnish the tele-
phone number unless she has some
clue to work on.

the sun, but today the telephone using
public generally appreciate the fact
that the information bureau is to fur
nish information relative to tele-
phone numbers and very few requests
are made for service other than this,
it is said.
The public generally is very con-

that the operator is now asked for

in, the operator courteously informs
the calling party that she is unable
to supply the information wanted.
