High School Offers Classes To Correct Defects In Speech In order that students may lfl‘ be handicapped by speech defects h‘ holding positions after graduation, the Highland Park and Lake Forâ€" est high schools are offering speâ€" cial classes one day a week under the direction of Mrs. Edward P. Noreross in order to correct or imâ€" prove such speech, problems as stammering, lisping, mumbling, and foreign substitutions. As the students seldom appreâ€" ciate their speech faults, the class membership is largely determined through recommendations of teachâ€" ers who observe a student likely to find his speech a handicap . in later life. Students sometimes reâ€" sent being recommended for the class, but when it is pointed out that parents are so used to them that they do not notice their faults and that close friends hesitate to say anything about it, the difficulty disappears and they enter enthusâ€" iastically upon the work. In practically all cases the physiâ€" cal basis of poor speech may be corâ€" rected, but it is pointed out to stuâ€" dents that without the proper menâ€" tal attitude no change can be made. It is also called to their attention that it is common knowledge among speech experts that the finest voices are often possessed by individuals who at one time suffered speech disâ€" orders. Besides the personal integrity and social recognition of good ALLEN J. NELSON PROBATE CLER Primary Tuesday, April 12, 1938 speech, its importance in seeking a job is emphasized. As there are u.Ito%uhc too many applicants for the jobs to be had, it is considered wise that each individual develop every feature of his personality in order to win success. Many emâ€" ployers reject applicants through an inference that careless, indifâ€" ferent, or unpleasant -pne\ is indiâ€" eative of the individual‘s personâ€" ality. The first work in the class eon-‘ sists of the diagnosis of each memâ€" ber‘s individual difficulty by means of a number of tests. Students who cannot attend the class are urged to analyze their own voices through a.comparative study of a recordâ€" ing of their voices and the articuâ€" lation and tone of the voices of raâ€" dio speakers and announcers. The individual‘s diagnosis of his own speech is an important step toward speech improvement. The next step consists of those individual adjustments in thinking, habits, and exercises that will bring about the desired change. A year in the class is usually sufficient to bring about a sufficient change to warrant a person continâ€" uing the work by himself, ENTERTAINS OFFICERS Mrs. Leslie Brand, president of the Deerfield Grammar School Parâ€" entâ€"Teacher Association, gave a tea at her home on Monday for the ofâ€" ficers, executive board, and chairâ€" men of the various groups of the Pâ€"T.A.
