We give herewith a brief outline of Mr, Black's address: BY A HALF A CENTARY OF TELEPHONE PROGRESS I wonder how many here to-day an think back fifty years and recall what the life of the late seventies was like! Take the year 1876--fifty- two years ago; does your memory offer any assistance in picturing con- ditions as they were about that time? Not all of us were present either here or_elsewhere on this planet in 1876, and yet we can all picture in our minds the plight of the citizen of that day who found that he must talk at once to a friend a few blocks dis- tant. There was nothing for it but to put on his coat and walk over to his friends place--or perhaps a little bay mare tied to the hitching post at the door might be pressed into ser- vice One thing was certain--there was no telephone to turn to, and the whole life of that day was geared to such methods of nearby communica- tion as we have mentioned.

ABOUT THE INVENTOR 1 wonder how many of you know. anything about Alexander Graham Bell? It is interesting to enquire what mannér of man he was. He was a Scoteman by birth, coming as a young man to Candade with his par- ents in 1874. Young as he was he was already master of the science of voice production--of vocal phsiology, as his father and his grandfather were before him.
