tai. The equipment Of the school
consisted Of room furnished after
the manner Of a typical schoolroom,
which was used for lectures and
study periods, and an operating
room. The latter duplicated, as
nearly as possible, the equipment OF
an actual central Office, with a
twelve-position switchboard, a chief
operators desk, and other equip
ment.
The routine of the course included
presentation, both in the classroom
and at the switchboard, Of the OPP
Grating instruction to be learned for
the day; follow-up instruction and
practice at the switchboard, the
supervisors putting through from
their desk calls involving particular
points covered in the days lesson;
and considerable time spent in
study in the classroom.
Trained Many Thousand Operators
So successful was the establish
ment of the training school in New
York that it was soon followed by the
opening Of similar courses in Chi
cago, Philadelphia, Boston, Denver,
and other large cities, and later in
other centers throughout the Bell
System.
Within the past few years, the
training of telephone operators has
entered into still another phase. In
a way, it is reminiscent Of the old
days when a new recruit learned her
job by sitting at the switchboard
and doing it under the guidance Of
an older and more experienced OPP
orator. The present system of train
ing, however, is not simply return
to the methods Of pioneer days.
Rather it is a return, plus all that
it has been possible to learn about
education and about the telephone
business in half a century.
They Learn by Doing
The operator today learns her job
on the job. On her very first day at
work she is given position at the
switchboard at which she is to work.
Switchboard positions which are not
in actual use are assigned to new
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1936-01-17

When the Bell Telephone System
established the first training course
for telephone operators, in January,
1902, in New York City, one Of the
pioneer steps in vocational training
was undertaken. Since then, voca-
tional training has become wide
spread, not only in telephone SER
vice but in many other industries.
Learned as Best They Could
In the early days of the telephone,
new operators learned what they
learned without great deal Of
teaching. The training was brief
and, as it were, casual. Newly en-
gagged operators were taken to the
switchboard, shown what plugs and
jacks were, how to get number,
and a few other elementary facts,
and were then permitted to listen-in
on older operators handling actual
calls.
After a few days of this, they
were allowed to handle calls them
selves, with the coaching and as
sistance Of experienced operators
beside whom they were seated.
Points of such great Importance to-
day as the tone of voice to use were
not even mentioned in those early
pioneer days.
First Training Course Established
Finally, the need Of training
course became apparent, and the
first school for operators was estab-
lished in New York City in January,
1902. By this time the change from
the old magnetic to the common bat
terry switchboard had been COM
pleted in all the central Offices in
that city. The establishment Of this
school marked a real milestone
along the road which has led to the
great degree of operating efficiency
which now characterizes the Bell
System.
The theory on which this operat-
ing school was based closely fol-
lowed that generally accepted in
educational circles at the time.
There was a definite emphasis on
classroom work, to which practice
at the switchboard was supplement
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1936-01-17

operators. At either side Of the new
conner are experienced girls, busy
with their work. The position to
which the new operator is assigned
is identical with the others at the
board, except that it has key which
cuts it off from the rest of the switch
board and protects the service
against disturbance by practice calls.
Actual Calls Are Simulated
The student is seated at such
a position and is given some In
formal instruction in the handling
Of calls. Then specially trained
operator takes another position,
known as the control position,
from which she can simulate the
calls that will have to be handled
by the new operator when she is
given actual work to do. Under such
guidance, the student operator sets
up connections which are in every
respect like actual calls. When she
becomes proficient at this, she is
given an opportunity to handle &C
tual calls during light traffic periods,
and thus she works into her job
almost without being aware Of it.
This might be termed a process
Of learning by doing. 1t is supple
mented by discussion Of operating
practices, and drills, conducted
away from the switchboard. Glasses
are held, but the groups of students
are made small so as to keep the
atmosphere of the classes informal
and giving them rather the aspect
Of discussion groups.
Training Never Ends
AS result of these new training
methods now in use, the operator at
once begins to become accustomed
to the atmosphere Of the particular
central Office where she is to work
and thus becomes part Of 1t. Even
after a girl has been given actual
traffic to handle, her training is not
regarded as completed. In fact, an
operators training is never finished;
one Of the detectives Of the present
system is to give the operator the
opportunity Of always learning to do
her work better.
