Intellect and Speech.

That mental aptitude and ability to
talk are very closely related, so that
not only is defective speech usually
an indication of inferior intellect, but
also that the latter may be raised in
grade by training the former, is as
serted by DIR. G.. Hudson Makuen of
Philadelphia in paper recently read
before the Association of Medical Off
GERS of American Institutions for Idi-
otic and Feeble Minded Persons.
Says DR.. Makuen.
Speech bears somewhat the same
relation to the mind that the hammer
and saw bear to the carpenter. It is
the minds most effective and i'm
portant tool. It Is not only the We
hicle In which the products Of the
mind are transferred and delivered, but
It Is essential also to the creation OF
these products. to their crystalization
