One OF the most unique schools in this
city is that in which stammerers learn
how - cure themselves Of their mis-
fortune. 1t has been in existence now
some five years, and il that time nearly
two hundred people have been made to
speak straight.
''There is no mystery about my art at
ALL said the Professor to areporter Of
the Press. 81 simply take plain,
ordinary. everyday view OF the matter.
am graduate of German school, and
my experience has amply proven that
stammering is simply habit,a bad one,
if you will, but nothing more than
habit. l do not say it because of my
position, but l can cure anybody from
stammcring who will come TO me for two
weeks with bona fide intention of
doing his best to overcome his fail
ing"
'In this theory about stammering
being habit you are running counter to
the general opinion entertained in Ger
manya"
Yes" he replied, ''te the general
opinion, but not to the best opinion. l
would be far from rehectiDg on my
countrymeu, but when they spread the
impression that stammering is not merely
not habit, but that it is contagious,
they are simply deceiving themselves.
Still, that they are alarmed to certain
extent is shown by the fact that stammer-
| ing is increasing to such degree that
they have public schools for its cure
which are attended by more than eighty
thousand people"
''Do you find any particular nation
alities partial to stammering.'
81 cannot say that do, but now that
! I remember I cannot recall single
| Russian who is~a stammerer, nor do l
have many Poles among my pupils. This
habit Of lisping, which some silly people
believe is quite All fait, predisposes one
to stammering. You will find stanmer-
ing more prevalent among people of =
| phlegmatic temperament and in nations
that have nothing else to do than try ex-
periments with language. Character in
people as whole has good deal to do
with the habit. Where you find men
and women with plenty OF work you
don't find many stammerers, and when
you do find them, as l have, you have
people of resolution to deal with and can
effect cure. | have met no man or
woman in this city who cannot cure them.
