kindergarten in its methods. The
Sufferers are taken IN at all ages and
put in the lowest class, whether the
stutterer is a man Of sixty or boy of
eight. He does rot know how to talk,
and that is the only thing he goes to
suffering school for.
The lowest class of st,ftterers. into
which they 90 at first, does nothing
for while but to say vowel sptnds.
They 10 not talk, and they gre told
not to try to talk at their homes or CT
the street, as the fr't thing to be- done
is to overcome the bad wavs they
have acquired, the Eisusing q Their
vocal organs. The class sits around
the room on chairs, with the instruc-
tor facing them The instructor gives
a vowel sound, long "a for instance.
The pupils, one after another, emit Il
long "a sound. He sees that thew
inhale properly and DO not rust out
all the air from their lungs ut once,
which is common thing with slut
terers. Every stGtterer can make
long "a sound, though, Of course, in
some Il is clearer, more sonorcis and
more pleasing than IN others. In this
way all the vowel sounds are goae
over, until the stu:terer can give any
vowel sound with ease at any time,
controlling the breath properly. With
some practice I vowel sound can b.
given for minute and Il i.,:lf, with
out break for taking breath.
After the vowel sounds simple
verses of poetry are giver tC the pu-
pills and they read the vowel sounds
OF them, sometime Individually, some
times in concert. They 10 not at
tempt to pronounce any cOnsonant
sounds; they simply take the words
and sound the vowels only. They
have no trouble in doing this. After
practice at this The pupils become ac-
customed to thinking of the vowel
sounds, and they learn how to use
their Lungs so as to economic their
air power.
From that they 90 TO simple one
syllable sounds and words like those
of three or four letters in an infants
primer. They stuttar again with
words of only two letters; a word of
two letters, when one of them is a
consonant, is big thing to stuterer.
From words of two letters, one con-
sonant and one vowel, they go to
words or combinations of letters with
two vowel sounds and one consonant
sound, then to two vowel sounds fol-
lowed or prefixed by one consonant,
then to words with consonant be-
tween two vowels.
1t is simply the process of learning
to talk. 1t takes time anywhere
from three weeks to four or six months,

BALTIMORE, April The following is
translation Of the reply Of Pope Leo XIII to
the letter sent to him by the American hier-
archy on the question of the temporal power
Of the papal see;
we have read your powerful and impres.
sive letter Of Dec, 30; il does honor to you,
whist It affords us no little consolation.
Nothing could be more appropriate to the
time, or more worthy Of your high office,
Than the public defense Of the liberty and
rights Of the apostolic see and the devoted
clergy OF Italy against the attacks Of those
who, holding forcible possession OF our city,
endeavor by threats Of punishment to stile
the very voices Of those whose duty il is 70
proclaim the laws Of the church. And be
cause you have made this defense with pru-
dence and vigor, both justice aud religion
owe you debt Of gratitude, and this the
more because your defense has the merit Of
consistency.
These striking proofs Of your faith and
zeal serv ito bind our hearts in closer union
and inspire us with the pleasing hope that
your words Will have weight with those even
who, though not IN communion with US, are
at least unbiased witnesses Of the injuries
inflicted upon US and the church Moreover,
we are consoled, not only because your declnr-
ntions, which are in accord with those Of the
other dignitaries Of the church, may win the
Jealous support Of upright and intelligent
men; but all rejoice especially ia this that
your prayers, united with those Of the rest
Of the faithful, confirm and increase our CON
fidence in the almighty power and ever
watchful providence Of God.n
