frie a HOTEL FOR BONS, ROOM FOR 150, [ PENN HALEN Generous Woman’s $150,000 Donation Makes Unique Charity Possible. NOT A LODGING HOUSE Private Room und Meals by the Week Are Supplied at Rate of $2.80. A five-story fire-proof hotel was opened in Harlem yesterday devoted exclusively to boys. It is located at Lexington avenue and One Hundred and Twenty-seventh street, and Is known as the Boys’ Hotel. The {dea was made possible through a donation ‘of $150,000 by a generous woman of New York, whose name the Children's Aid Society withholds, The splendidly equipped building has | proven a Mecca for fifty boys already, and there are still! accommodations for one hundred more, Every element of independence possible in hotel life has been incorporated into the Boys’ Hotel scheme, The youngster will find here a haven and rest in clean hed clothes, with excellent ventilation and in quarters just as safe as his home-it he ever had one. { The Boys’ Hotel means that the little fellow with pluck and courage enough to earn for himself two dollars a week has hotel accommodations, service and cleanliness in a boys’ building. He Is at last far from the rusty iron grat- ings of subway ventilators and the sheltered back door, or the protection of @ box or barrel. Not a “Lodging House.” There is nothing of the lodging-house | here. ‘The instant a boy enters a white coated servant takes his grip, though he be in tatters, while he signs his nane to the register.

A telephone operator properly taught is more efficient than one who learns by observing the work of others. Recognition of this fact led to the establishment of our Telephone Operators’ School. The selection of the operating force requires ability of an unusual kind—the ability to determine whether an applicant can be taught to become a good operator, not whether an applicant already has an adequate knowledge of the work. Those admitted to the School must be girls of natural intelligence, who can speak distinctly and write clearly. They must have good health, good eyesight, good hearing and a fair education, together with a certain mental alertness critically necessary in telephone work. Only 12 per cent, of the applicants for positions are passed for admission to the Operators’ School. The course of instruction consists of lectures on the operating methods to be learned and on the routing of the traffic to be handled. The lectures are supplemented by recitations on the subjects studied and by actual work at practice switchboards, Student operators are taught: The Use of the Various Parts of the Operating Equipment. The Telephone Geography of New York and Vicinity. The Proper Method of Completing Any Call. The Necessity of Being Courteous in All Relations With the Public. No operator is graduated from the School until she satisfies the principal that she is qualified to do work in a Central Office and to handle calls of any character. The public, therefore, suffers no inconvenience from amateurish efforts of employes unfamiliar with their work. The telephone service of New York City is considered by rh experts to be the best in the world. The care taken to properly train the operating force has been a most important factor in bringing about this gratifying result.
