SHAW’S BUSINESS SCHOOLS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29th, 1928 Published by The Bell RETTY GOOD results. But the clocker isn't satisfied. Nobody in the telephone business is ever satisfied with today’s mark. The system toâ€" morrow must always be better to keep pace with the Canada of tomorrow. The time taken to install a new telephone used to be three hours and forty-five minutes. It has been cut now to one hour and forty-five min- utes. That means something in hours saved, with 139000 telephones installed in Ontario and Quebec 'this year. Jl other directions to; and here are some the things they have recorded. There used to be eight times in a thousand calls when you would break in on somebody else’s conversation. Now there are only two such double connections per thousand. The time taken to repair “trouble” on a line now has been cut to 0ne~third of the time taken five yeam ago. There are only two chances in a thousand now that you will be cut off. There were five chances in a thousand, five years ago. IVE YEARS AGO you ran 27 chances in every 1,000 calls of getting the wrong num- ber. That is down now to 13 chances in 1,000, or nearly 99 times out of the 100 right. The number of errors of all kinds has been reduced from 40 .in every 1,000 calls to 16, which is over ninety-eight per cent perfect. Seven years ago there were 95 slow calls in every 1,000â€"a slow call being one in which the operator takes ten seconds or more to answer. Today there are only 33 in every thousand. y a call. Other “clockers’ record the errors made, the speed with which “trouble” is re- paired, all the items of telephone efficiency. If speed and efficiency are not constantly on the climb these are the people who know it first and then there is a grand hunt to find out what’s gone wrong. ., ' i It is a good game. It gets results. That is Wh)r your telephone serves you better this year than it did last year, and next year will Serve you better than now. That is why it has contribut- ed its share to Canadian progress. OR EXAMPLE, seven years ago the aver- ‘ age interval from the time you lifted your telephone receiver until the operator answered was 5.1 seconds. Today the cloclcer finds the interval cut to 3.7 seconds. Tomorrow it will be still less. ' "HIS YOUNG LADY’S JOB is to “clock” the telephone service.

There is always a willingness to do what is possible to lighten the burden of their affliction and to brighten their lives. This is a commendable spirit as it gives evidence of man’s regard for those who are not so fortunate as he is himself. There is also behind it the feeling that every child should have a chance in this world. Rev. and Mrs. H. H. Eaton attend- ed the supper and concert given in connection with the Anniversary Serâ€" vices at Knox United Church, Agin- court, on Monday evening last. up only part of the group.

While this is true, our chief concern should be to prevent any child from becoming crippled and, as a result, handicapped in life’s venture.

Many damaged hearts result from diseased tonsils and teeth which are not properly and promptly treated. Much permanent damage results from such diseases as scarlet-fever and measles. If we wish to protect our Canadian children, then it is our responsibility to support the work of health depart- ments and health organizations which seek to prevent the conditions that cripple children; which bring to the attention of parents the need for ear- 1y and proper treatment; and which seek to spread knowledge concerning prevention.
