Author Description

Excerpt from Bell Telephone Magazine, 1947, Vol. 26 Mr. Bell was a pioneer in aviation as well as the father of telephony. Great as his achievements were, it is not for them alone that he commands our deepest respect. The mainspring of his life was the desire to serve humanity. He thought of himself as a teacher of the deaf, and as long as he lived he was devoted to the cause of lightening their burden.
