DEFECTIVE SPEECH CRUSADE
TO- BE STARTED IN SCHOOLS

A Crusade against defective speech
among District public school, children
will be started in. the schools next
September if ,Supt.. Thurston. is sue
cessful in his efforts to obtain several
trained teachers for this work Dur
ing the summer vacation period. the
superintendent pointed out, last night,
he would try to get at least two
expert teachers to remove speech de-
fects of Washington school children.
The speech improvement campaign
already has been sanctioned by the
board of education. and is one of
Supt- Thurstons favorite progressive
movements. It is the intention Of the
superintendent to assign an expert
teacher OF corrective speech to the
white and colored schools.
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Thurston
that in 1918 20.9 per cent of pupils
examined in Washington schools for
atypical classes had speech defects.
and in 1919 24.5 per cent. The most
noticeable defects, he said, are halting
and defective utterance, more famil-
iarly known as "stammering" or
''stuttering."
The cure. he said. depends more or
less on psychological study in each
case, for the attitude Of the mind on

ingly an important factor. The pu-
pill must be vitalized. and the mind
and body and voice brought into
proper harmony" said the superin-
tendent. There must be gymnastic
treatment-medieal, physical or vocal.
The cure in the vast ma jority of cases
is entirely. therefore. one for teacher r
treatment. rather than for medical
treatment"
The need for trained teachers for
speech improvement. he also pointed
out, is not limited to the meeting of
actual speech defects. "Unfortu-
nately." he said. 'it is true that a
majority of children do not speak as
well or enunciate as clearly as they
sho uld'
Mr.. Thurston expressed the opinion
that at the present salary scale it
would be virtually impossible to OBJ
tain expert trained teachers from
other cities. He said he believed that
a teacher for this work should re-
ceive at least $4,000 a year. How
ever. the superintendent said, he may
be able to get several teachers at a
salary Of $1,000 year plus the bonus
of $24O

try. Lieut.. David Sylvester. chief of
the traffice squad OF the San Francis

Lieut. Sylvester is also president OF
the National Traffic Officers Associa-
ton and will be accompanied by c.
Dewitt DeMarr. manager of the Ma
tional Traffic Onicers' Safety First Ex-

It is expected that Lieut.. Sylvester
will show what the state Of Califor-
mia has accomplished in regard to

points so that the motorist will have
the same set Of laws to drive by in
Washington as he does in the far

District building know that Commits
sioner BrownIow and Engineer Com
missioner. Kutz have been WORKING
under q heavy strain during the past
six months supervising those
branches of the District service which
usually come under the third Commis-
sioner.
To make their task more difficult
they have had an almost continued
period of rate hearings on the appli-
cations Of the street car, gas. tele-
phone and taxicab companies for in
creased rates.
A sentiment exists in many quarters
that the President should select
man OF business experience and thor
oughly familiar with local conditions
for the vacancy.
