Instead of sending messengers from one
'person to another, instruments ar*
placed in private houses, and the occu
pants, by merely presting a knob, can
summon a policeman, or give an alarm
in case of tire or'call a messenger to do
any .spi vice may be required. The
principal company in New York which
controls such a telegraph system, is the
American District Telegraph Com pan’-.
• The boys in tl is e mpsmj’s ampl y
linvemany duties to perform which
a«e not required of (lie Western
Union boys,-and they therefore have a
great many things to learn before they
can be provided wlib work. When the
hirer of a District instrument calls fora
messenger, the boy can never know
what tie may be wanted for. He may
bo told to bnrry for a physician, he may
be given a package for delivery, or a
bill to collect, or bo may be pent by . a
broker to deliver stock or to have a
check certified,—in fine, his duties ore
too varied for me to name them all.
lyhew it is, remembered about 4,500
' .District instruments are now in uso in
New York, and that, 1,513.265 messa
ges were delivered by the District boys
in llieycnj ended September 30. 1877,
pi me no! ion of tlie manifold services
required of them can be formed.
- It is easy to see that an inexperinced
and nnskillfnl messenger in such an em
ployment would only prove himself a
nuisance to the public and an injury to
th“ company. Every boy therefore,
employed by the American District Tel
egraph Company is put into a training
school and this school is an interesting
one.
TJio school-room is provided with
wooden benches, like those found in
. old-fashioned district Fchools, but the
instruction given is entirely in regard to
the bnsiucss of the company. Every
candidate for a place must Know how
to rend and write, before they can be
put into the school. It is of course nec
essary for he boys to know the situation
. of every street in the city.- A large
map of the city is | laced before them,
with the streets mo iked on it, but willi-
ont- their nanes. The teacher points
out the different streets to Ins pupils,
..puttthey are required to name lhem.
In this way a messenger boy soon nc-
; rpires a more com) lete knowledge of
the eilv’s thoroughfares than many an
old resident can boast of. Tn one part
oftheroom are telegram inetrnim i tssucb
as the company uses, aril the boys are
taught how to send an receive messages

the “tariff-book,” which tells them how
much to charge for going from one

The American District Telegraph
Company employs on an average 55o
boys who are distributed throughout
the city amoDg twenty. three offices.
Each office has from five to eight boys
according to its location, and
every boy is expected to. serve ten
hours a day. In some of the offices,
constant employment cannot be found
for all the boys during the time, and one
form of-promotion is to send a boy to
an ‘‘easy district.”
When a boy arrives at bis office : n the
morning, he goes to the sergeant, who
notes if he is in rime or not. Then he
puts on hi? uniform and reports to the
manager, who ascertains whether or not
