rm -- September 22, 1928 WINNETKA TALK School of Speech Opens Clinic to Cure Talk Defects A clinic for the diagnosis and treat- ment of defects in speech will be opened in the school of speech of Northwestern university next week and will be in operation throughout the school year, Dean Ralph B. Dennis announced this morning. The causes of stammering, lisping, faulty articu- lation and other impediment will be investigated and cures affected where possible. Recent surveys reveal that there are approximately 1,133,000 persons in the United States who stammer, accord- ing to Dr. Clarence T. Simon, pro- fessor of the psychology of speech, who will be in charge of the new clinic. This is about ten times the combined number of those who suf- fer from blindness and deafness. "Stammering has been known to the human race for a long time," said Dr. Simon. "The word for it is found in the hieroglyphics of ancient Egypt. The Greek struggled with it. Mankind seems to have begun to struggle with the defect as soon as he began to talk. Theories concerning its cause and remedies for relief and cure have been numerous and varied, "When speech is interfered with, it is a big step toward unsocial ten- dencies, inferiority and failure. There are state schools for the blind, the deaf, the lame and the feeble minded, but very few for sufferers from de- fects of speech. Some public schools are now providing special classes and teachers for those with impediments in their speech, but the number is inadequate. Associated with Dr. Simon will be Miss Belle Kennedy, graduate of the Central School of Speech in London, who has wide experience in speech clinics in London, and James Carrell, a graduate student. The {facilities of the clinic will be open to students of the university and the public. N. U.

Christian Science Churches "Matter™ was the subject of the les- son-sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, Sunday, September 16. The Golden Text was irom Psalms 34:14, "Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it." Among the citations which com- prised the lesson-sermon was the fol- lowing from the Bible: "I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards: Then I looked on all the works that my hand had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do; and behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun . .. Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness" (Eccl. 24,11, 13). The lesson-sermon also included the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scrip- tures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "When understanding changes the standpoints of life and intelligence from a material to a spiritual basis, we shall gain the reality of Life, the control of Soul over sense, and we shall perceive Christianity, or Truth, in its divine Principle" (p. 322).
