SPEECH TRAINING
IN SCHOOLS URGED
Dr.. Simon Proposes Depart
ment to Correct Defects
in Enumeration.

Creation of department in the Dis
trlct public school system whose en-
ployes would work to overcome de-
fects in the speech of children is ad-
vocated by DR.. Abram Simon. pres
ldent OF the board of education. This
subject, pr. Simon intimated last
n1sht, VIII De presented to the school
board for consideration in the near
noon.
A corps of specially trained teach
ers; Dr. simon believes, could mate
cases of speech defects among wash
| lngton school children. However, he
| reels that parents can aid in large
degree IN this work by teaching the
| home.
Many parents" said DR.. Simon, "be
lieve that the lisping of their chill
dren Is cute: Naturally this encour-
ages a tine the cniid; II parents could real;
sounds they would Discourage their
children from talking in that man
| ner."
Figures compiled by school authori-
ties show that out of S.o15 average
pupils who were examined by medical
inspectors 365. Of "A per cent. had
defects: In a census taken by teachers
1915 children were listed as suffering,
| and $50 iisping.
The most noticeable defects are
hating, which is commonly called
| stammering or suffering. In these
cases the sufferer has difficulty in
passing from one letter to another,
or he loses temporary control of
muscles Of articulation. The cure, it
Is said. depends more or less on a
psychological study of each case, for
the attitude of mind on the part of
| the sufferer is an exceedingly impor-
| tant factor.
| Lisping, the defect criticised by DR..
Simon, medical officers of the schools
| say, Is almost entirely habit, and
| may be corrected by proper super
| vision and strong control by the in
structor.
A very common defect among Wash
| ington school children is said to be
&c cause, but Is merely a habit, some
times due to environment The treat
ment in this case, it is said, is purely
one OF exercises and discipline by the
teacher, and not medical experts.
The need for trained force of
teachers for speech improvement, it
was pointed out, is not limited to the
meeting OF cases Of actual speech de-
1ects. A majority Of children, school
omcia!s say. do not speak as we'll or
enunctate as clearly as they should
IN the opinion of some school au-
thor1ttes. the teachers who are to cor
rect defective speech should be
trained for the work. In addition, it
Is believed that all class teachers
should have training in certain funda-
mentals. SO that in time much of the
simpler corrective work could be
done by them in the classroom.

AID CHINA BY Bull DING.
Red Cross to Take Up Relief of
Suffering.

The first thing the American Red
Cross is going to do to alleviate
famine conditions in China is to give
the sufferers q chance to earn money
with which to buy food. One-fifth
Of the 100000 appropriation made bv
Red Cross for relief in the famine
area will be transmitted Immediately
through the Department of State, ac-
cording to bulletin just issued from
Red Cross national headquarters here.
A portion of this 100000 will be
used for upbuilding of roads and
canals In sections of the country in
undated for centuries by recurring
floods. in order that thousands of men
may obtain employment and food.
John E. Baker, head Of the American
Red Cross in Picking, will have gen.
eral charge of the fund. Foreign bust.

cEivING ORDERS FOR SoR.
GHuM MILLS IN LARGE
QUANTITIES.

Unless sugar prices decline before
fall, long sweetenin' will be resorted
to in many Arkansas rural homes, for
the indications are that the sorghum
crop this year will be the best in the
history of the state. Where cotton
was drowned ont by the spring rains,
many farmers planted sorghum and
the crop is an excellent one.
.'You can tell how good the pros
pect is" said Tom Shannon of the
Turner-Shannon Company, when dis
=cussing crop conditions on Monday,
"by the great number Of orders we
are receiving for sorghum mills. The
farm machinery and implement deal
ers never before experienced any
thing like it. The acreage is not on
ly exceptionally large, but the crop
indications are excellent. The farm
ers may have lost their peach crop
and be bit short on preserves of
this kind, but there will be sorghum
sufficient to make up for any shortage
that may exist"
The Turner-Shannon Company has
had further evidence of the develop
ment of Arkansas agriculturally dur
inc the past week through the ex-
ceptional demand for heavy threshers
and tractors.

Here's the Proof of the Worth
OF Demonstration Work

bales, which at the average price of
1854 per pound, which was the average
price of Arkansas cotton in 1919,
would have been worth $149,24O,OO0
Had all our 2,7O7.OO0 acres of corn
been handled as the demonstration
fields were handled, instead of making
6,847, 900 bushels we would have made
109, 633, 300 bushels of corn or a gain
|of 52,786,500 bushels, which at an av-
|erage price of $1.5O per bushel would
have been worth $79,179,750.
In the matter Of these two crops
alone demonstration methods would
save to the state the little sum of
$203 ,090,2 per year, for the records
viii show the increased cost Of hand
ling was comparatively small. 1t is
not necessary to go into the records
of the various other crops demon
strated, as the examples given are
enough to give fair idea of what
was accomplished and the possibilities
of our soil under proper management.
The money that could be made above
what we are now making on these two
crops every year, would more than pay
cash for all the good roads now under
construction in Arkansas and still
leave more corn for feed and more
cotton to sell than we have ever had;
the neat little sum that could be real
lied from the proper handling of these
two crops would more than build four
cities the size of Little Rock in Ar
kansas each year, build and equip the
best State University in the world,
and run the state government without
taxation.
There is something in demonstra-
ton work for the man. that is wise
enough to get it.
