Nimble Fingers Handled
Millions of Calls
'J <_r:.u^ r -^--- ;
HE addition of 6,000 new telephones to the Bell
(I Svstem in Georgia has widened the scope of
I t| ie se rvice to meet the growing demands ot
I the people of the State.
There has been a corresponding increase in the
use of the telephone and the value of the service to
the public.
|l It is estimated that the operators handled more
I! than 311.641,836 originating local calls in Georgia
last year and more than 3,318,702 long distance
II messages.
j I This is an average of more than 952,498 local
i \ calls and 10,047 long distance calls every day.
I | To render such a service continuously, day and
,-,mht, requires 1,490 highly trained-operating room
y i employes.
\ | These “weavers of speech” served you efficient-
ly, continuously and cheerfully, completing 98 per
cent of this enormous volume ot traffic promptly and
correctly.

regarded in Many Counties-

ATLANTA. Jan. 7. That the
various cou.-ty authorities are not
rigidly enforcing the child school at
tendance law is the opinion express

' entities found so far as owing up
atisfaetorily.
Only twesty-three <•< •iidies So far
'have been surveyed, it was said. The
schools in thee counties, with the ex
ception of their poor attendance
records have made fair showings, it
was said.
The inspector found that many of
the school- and even the system o’'
schools are poorly managed. The
greatest complaint that the survey
or- made was that the county school
board- do not inspect the schools
often enough nor do they give the
[■roper attention to the prefectisg of
