Of the Bogue Institute for Stammer-
ers says: 1.-The fact pointed out by
Quintillian is today just as vital in the
training Of the voice as 1t was nine
teen hundred years ago. In fact,
Quintilian placed stress on a factor
in the environment of the child which
is too frequently misunderstood by
parents and teachers. First of all
the child initiates the speech Of those
with whom he comes in contact
during his early career, and any I'M
projections OF speech that may then
be acquired from imitation can be
erad!cated later o2ly by study and
practice.
From the time the child begins
to talk. the sooner his vocal
education begins the better.
IF the right way Of using the
voice is early learned it will be a
guard against the contraction of bad
speech habits which can only be
corrected later with infinite care.
Even In the kindergarten the right
method of voice production can and
should be taught. 1t is an act of
wisdom to put child under speech
training at an early age"
