We have also had the case of a young foreigner, a student of CoIur1- b1a University, who had resolved ta kill himself because of the endless humiliation to which his speech defect subjected him. While in class he ire quently was unable to utter a svla. ble in reply to questions by the in structors, few of them understood what the matter was. In consequenca they regarded him a stupid block head. This man was completely cured. His letters testify pathetica1lv to his rescue from a condition of mel ancholia to which the suicide which he had threatened would have been the natural conc1usion'
 Dr. Martin has twenty-efght special assistants in the public schools. in. structing teachers in the methods of preventing speech defects.
 Most of these come between the ages of six and eight" he declares. and are the result of improper teach. ing methods. Children are souetime es made to read words that are much too d1fhcult for them to articulate or even understand. The result is the forma- ton of the habit of stumbling. hess tancy, then stuttering, which may be-. come confirmed when the child is over sensitive or is made conscious of the habit through improper correction. Finally fear and inhibition follow. until the child loses mastery of his speech.''

AWARD WOMEN
 FOR GIVING GAS MASK DETAIL

London, March Edwards have just been made to two Belgian women Madame Clement and her sister Mile Marie DHave, and posthumously to- their father, Thoaphile DHave, for giving to the Belgian general stair details of the first German gas mask.
 Posing as a, German, M. DHave was able to send one of his daugh- ters to Havre, then the Belgian great headquarters, with a design of the mask concealed in her dress.
 She went by way of Holland and at the Dutch frontier she was search ed for four hours in vain. Had the document been found she would have been shot. Altogether Mile. DHave crossed the frontier fifty times until at the end of 1915 she thought 1t would be safer to remain in Holland. So well did the father pose as a pro German that his neighbors hated him and their behavior to him hastened his death from heart disease.
 At the time of the armisuce a crowd tried to burn down his house.

SIXTY TEACHERS
 MAY RESIGN
 IN NEW HAVEN
New Haven, March 20.

New Haven, March 20.
 From the office of the Board of Ed ucation, something like 630 blank contracts to as many teachers of the public schools, have been sent out for them to sign and return, or for those who are to remain teachers. The plan as explained by Superintendent Beede calls for an increase beginning Jan. 1, 1921, of from S25O to $500, according to the grade of the teacher. There is also the usual increase of $100, which is annual, until the maximum salary is reached.
 There is no increase for this year because the city could not legally grant it, said the superintendent.
 ''But the increase beginning next year, is just what the teachers asked.''
 About resignations? I doubt if there will be more than usual. Each year some 50 or 60 teachers usually resign and I suppose it will be about the same at the end of the present school year, although I cannot say just how many in advance"

Schiff, when the ancient degree of the Jewish faith fHaber' Charles H. Shapiro on behalf of a delegation representing the Rev. pr. Philip Klein and the Rev. Dr. Der nard Drachman, rabbis of the First Hungarian Congregation Ohob Zedek, who conferred the degree.
 The degree, known as sfHaber" or ''Chover,' which dates back to Tal- mudic times, has never before been conferred in America It is given in recognition of broad humanitarian services or great benefactions and charitable activities. The last time it was conferred was upon Sir Moses Montefiore for saving the Jewish pop ulation of Damascus in 184S- The ceremony was simple and inn pressive.

Tongue-Tied Girls
 Are Cute But

Girls who lisp are "cute". Tongue tied maidens have a better chance in matrimony than those with an easy, free de1ievery, according to some of the mothers of public school girls. NI have had mothers complain to me that my efforts to improve their daughters speech were resulting in the elimination of their fbaby talk" says Dr. Frederick Martin, Director of Speech Improvement in the New York public schools.
 'I am unable to judge of the value of a 'cute lisp and baby talk in re- ducins the opposite sex to a state of helpless infatuation," adds Dr. Mar tain. ''In some fields these speech defects may be of value, according to the mothers, but I could tell them that in the world of work defective speech is decided detriment- Busi- ness men want their assistants to speak clearly, and many large firms employ experts to improve the speech of their employees.
 Dr. Martins work covers wide field. He has actually saved the lives of shell shocked soldiers and others who were on the verge of melancholia because they could not speak without sta nm ering He has assisted in the dietary difficulties of a man who fo11nd himself unable to pronounce anything but oysters in the presence of a waiter.
 And I've eaten more damned. oys- ters than any other man in the entire world" complained this aggrieyed citizen when he called upon pr. Mar tin.
 Americanization is another large mart of the speech improvement pro- o-a-ou7e Dr Martin and his assist ants are doing their best to eliminate from New York speech the ''gk" sound which has entered by way of the Russian Ghetto. The Anericani zation programme calls for the elimi- nation of all foreign accents, even to the Scotch burr, although one Scotch father complained that his son was fast losing the accent, which was the best thing about him, ''since it came out of Scotland"
 'oThere are 5000 acute cases of , stammering in the elementary schools of New York city, says Dr. Martin 'fNot only are these people greatly l hampered in all that they undertake but their condition often causes acute
 suffering One of these was a sold | fer. When he entered my office l ] spoke to him and he attempted to reply, but was seized by a stammering spasm and fell to the floor. The tears were rolling down his face when he ] was able to rise.

B. H. s. NOTES
By IDA CLARE

After much debating as to whether the great event would be a minstrel show, concert and dance or high class vaudeville the latter has been chosen as that which will be given in the early spring by Miss WyIand's four Junior commercial English class es. A small committee from each class was chosen to decide just what would be given. The decision commit tee will now take up its duties as the committee on arrangements. The pur- pose of the affair will be to show the school of what benefit the club pro- grams, which have been given through the year, are to the class. Miss Frances O'Nei1 of the third period class was the originator of the ideas and it is thought that she will be chosen chairwoman of the com mittee.
