D ROCLATA1 liberty throltglwut all the land, unto all the inhabitants therrof- this was the legend inscribed r on what was later to be known as the Liberty Bell, when it was recast m Philadelphia in 17 53. Twenty-three years later this prophetic admonition was carried out when the now historic hell heralded the adoption of the Declaration oflnd~pend~nce. A century after this assertion of American liberty, Alexander Graham Bell gave to America and to the world, in the telephone, an instrumentality of a new form of .freedom. Limitations which had confined the scope of the spoken word were swept a way. Doors of isolation were throvvn open. In his contacts with his fello\\'s, man had achieved a new independence. For fifty years this emancipation uf speech has undergone an unceasing evolution into a larger and ever larger liberty. Year by year man's voice has reached out over greater and greater distances until to-day it speeds from coast to coast, borne on the wires of a natiun wide telephone sy5tem.
