People of World
On March 3, Alexander Graham
Bell, the inventor of tlie telephone,
would have been 100 yean old Imd he
lived. Thus hia anniverury on that
^te gives to the year 1947 special
interest to all Uiose who use the tele
phone. ,
It if hard to realize that today’s vast
tdephone business springs from the
genius of one born only a century ago.
The world must have been waiting
for the telephone, so quickly did it
become an integral part of nio<k:ii
life.
Bell, born in Edinbiugh, Scotland,
came to Canada in 1870 and to t'le
IJniJed'>States two years later, locat
ing in Boston.
He taught at Boston University dur
ing the days, was busy niglits with
endless telegraphic experiments. While
working on these in June of 1875 with
l^homas .A Watson, young mechanic j
einployed at the electrical shop where I
Bell conducted his studies, the "in
ventor discovered quite accidentally a |
fundamental principle that almost im-

CAMDEN, S. a
In July of 1877 the Bell Telephone
Company was fonned and the first
commereial exchange followed in 187811
St New Haven, Connecticut, serving 8
lines and 21 telephones.
First Five Years Difflenk
It wasn’t really that simple. The
first five years of tho telephone’s life
were difficult ones. 'The story of how
the telephone pioneers solved their
problems and went on to build a great
communications system is a dramatie
one.
If the world was waiting for the
telephone, then it must have been
waiting for Bell, too. - The whole of
his .early life might have been just
preparation for the day when he could
say of his telephone; “It works!"
Speech and hearing enthralled the
boy Bell. His grandfather, Alexander
Bell of London, made • science of
speech. He sought cures for speech
defects and learned much about the
human vocal mechanism. He passed
on his lore to Alexander Melville Bell,
the inventor’s father. Melville’s appli
cation of it was teaching the deaf to
apeak. He devised a system of symbols
to depict actions of the vocal organs
in making sounds.
The boy aided hia father in public
lectures on this “visible speech."
While young Bell was out of the room,
his father would invite members of
the audience to utter any sorts of
sounds. Symbols were drawn quickly
and from these the boy could repro
duce the sound—be it a saw cutting
wood or a word in Sanskrit, a lan
guage of which he knew nothing. BeB
taught this “visible speech" system
later at Boston.
Young Alexander and his brother
made a “talking automaton,” using
bellows, rubber bands, and miscellane-
oni equipment to pr^uce functional
substitutes for the human almll. teeth,
lips, and larynx. It said “mama” con
vincingly enough to tend a neighbor
In the dMNt apsMe of 70 years the telephone haa grown fr<^
a erode instnusicnt, throngh which aoands were barely aadible,
to today’s modem telephone system whidi Hnks together more
than 30 million tde^ones fat tho United Stataa alane.

Prepared Aa Youth
His childhood and youth had helped
pepare him to invent the telephone,
but Bell’s work was not finished when
he invented it. He applied his inven*
tive skills in many ways, even to pro
ducing an instrument that could lo
cate bullets or other metallic objects
in the human body. The whole field
of science absorbed him. He did much,
for example, to promote geographical
and aeronautical investigations.
Thus, althoi'sh the telephone in
vention was hit mreat achievement,
he continued a lively interest in things
scientifio until the day of hk death
in 1922 when he wee 75 years old.
Since he died the telephone system
besting hk name baa grown ever
more vital to the everyday living ef
everyone. It k e piece of work for
nearly half a miluon people. Nearly
700,000 share its ownendilp. It serves
224)00,000 ef the nation’s 30,0004)00
telephones. Its whet carry the netion’e
