Dr. Brotherton, a former British subjectborn in France, took the and in physics at the University ofLondon. He came to the United States in1927, when he joined Bell Labs. Heworked for many years on wave filtersand related devices. Before he retired fromthe Labs in 1964, he was concerned pri-marily with advertising in technical andscientific magazines. More recently hehelped research and write The Man-MadeWorld, a radically new technical coursefor high schools, sponsored by the Na-tional Science The Better to Serve (PART I OF A TWO-PART REPORT) Probably no other activity in theBell System has a greater and morebasic long-range effect on service,profits and employee morale thantraining and education. The Systemspends about $500 million a year inthis area, if one includes traineeand instructor wages and that, the cost of instruc-tion is estimated at $367 million,second only to the expenditures ofthe University of California. Innumbers of people trained eachyear, the Bell System is first with340,000, nearly three times that ofthe University of California, whichranks second. These comparisons,of course, exclude the Federal Gov-ernment, which wins every statis-tical category hands-down.
