It is still the day of the trail blazer. In
the telephone industry pioneers are cutting
new paths in the knowledge of their art.
This industry is continually on the
threshold of new ideas, with each devel
opment opening up a vista for its explorers
to track down.
Their activity will be as engineers in
laboratory research and plant operation,
but also in supervisory and executive posi

groups of men and carrying the burdens
of administration.
The responsibility and opportunity of
management take on an increasing impor
tance in an industry such as this, where
forward-looking leadership must point the
way to ever better public service.
