Quarterly Report OF The Social
Service League.

Last fall the Social Service League felt
that it faced an acute situation precipitated
NV the rapidly growing demands placed
upon it because of unemployment and the
consequent human distress. The agency
struggled through the winter hoping that
by this fall we would have emerged from
the seiee. During the summer employment
of a temporary character, and gardens I'M
usual. have assisted in reducing the suffer-
ind of those better able to take care of
themselves. But despite these respites our
records show that the actual case load of
of the League this quarter has not been re-
duced as is usual in the summer season.
To the contrary. it has Appropriated that

which time the height Of the agency's ser
vice was reached. The highest case load
activn at any one period for the fiscal year
1910 and 1891 occurred in March. 1880.
Ar this time there were 1925 families re-
ceivine service from the Social Service
League. In August. 1881, there we're 30l
families on the Leagues list.
This fact has significance to us because.
II il is indicative Of causatlve condition

Alexander Graham
Bell Chapter, Telephone Pioneers of
America. at the ninth annual meeting
held in Washington recently.
In speaking of telephone develop
ment during the first part of the
year, IL was stated that the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Companies ops-
rate about per cent of the total
telephones in the Bell System. Yet
during the year 1880, % per cent OF
all the telephones gained in the Bell
System were In this area. These fig
ures were even more impressive for
the first part of 1881. During that
period the Bell System had an actual
loss of more than $4,000 telephones,
while in the area including Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia and the Dis
trict OF Columbia there was a net
gain of more than 1000.
1T is my personal feeling" Mr. Will
son said, land think 1t Is shared by
most of the supervisory officials who
are constantly studying the situation
that this remarkable result did not
merely happen nor was It due neces-
sarlly to any better business condi-
lions In our territory as a whole. In
my opinion. 1t has beqn due almost
entirely to the splendid efforts Of our
employee body in their determination
to resist what might be called the
psychological effect OF the business
depression. You simply have refused
to be discouraged and that In turn
can certainly in large part be attrlb.

the older people in the organization
who have over long years OF service
become familiar with what Is some
times referred TO as the Bell System
spirit; people who have learned TO
respond to the call Of service"
