finished studying a unit on the
proper way to use the telephone.
Being participants in the Bell
Telephone Educational Program
we were able to have four real
telephones in our classroom. We
were able to use the transmitting
and receiving units by connecting
two telephones to a regular flash
light battery. This enabled us to
commune with each other these
telephones During our study we
learned many things. Some of US

things we had learned. Each of us
received a personal telephone di- |

Other Kinds of Telephones: We
put money in coin telephone.
Coin telephones are fastened onta
a wall. They are easy to use. The
coins we use in these telephones
are nickels. dimes, and quarters
We find coin telephones in bus
and train stations. We find them
along the highways, in large de-
Dartment stores. and other bust
ness places. Now. there are even
coin telephones along the high
ways we can use without getting
Dut of our cars.
