CAMPAIGNING is EXPENSIVE

It is estimated that the last pres
idential election cost the nation
more than $1OO,OOO,OOO, or as much
as a war formerly cost. That cam
paigning is expensive is shown in
fine fact that under present mail
rates it costs 100000 to send an un-
sealed letter to each voter in New
York State, not considering cost of
printing, etc. AS for campaign funds
of individuals in presidential and
nominating campaigns the following
tabulation may prove of interest.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DR.. c. A. L. Reed


TNHE movement for. first. pride
i Of speech, and, next, purity Of
speech, has been accentuated by
the worldwide English Speaking
Union. The primary object Of this
organization il to encourage all
English-speaking people to cult.
yate purity Of language for the
better realization Of the cultural
value and its economic worth.
This, however. Is aside from actual
defects Of speech depending upon
physical causes.
In Wisconsin speech clinic has
been organized and Is doing excel
lent work. It's efficient director,
DIR. Robert West, has been talking
about better speech for better liv-
ing (nation's health. He goes to
the very bottom OF the question
when he says that human contact
releases emotion, which is the mo-
tive power OF social, intercourse.
This emotion is, roughly. the inter-
est we take in other beings. 1t
is expressed in many forms of be-
havior, but the most important of
these is speech. The study OF the
disorders of speech, must therefore
take three factors into account:
Social custom, emotional life, and
speech itself.
Disorders Of speech, DIR. West
explains, are due to disturbance Of
the balance of these three factors.
and'the balance may be distributed
in many different ways.
The trouble may lie in a funda-
mental disorder of the emotional
life caused by poor social adjust
ment, or in another patient the So
cia1 adjustment is unsuccessful be-
cause of an emotional disturbance
caused by a primary disorder OF
speech. Any one of tho three may
be either the cause or the end re-
suit. Sometimes the cure lies in
lettering the speech, sometimes in
lettering the social adjustment.
Most suffering is not funda-
mentally a disorder of speech.
Many Sufferers talk normally ex-
cept when they are failing to
make a social adjustment. Here
the fundamental disorder is not in
speech, but in social technique. AS
an example OF the opposite class
we may take girl who is timid,
retiring and morse, because her
speech Is so detective as to attract
most unfortunate attention from
strangers and sort of plying at
tention from her friends. Her dis
order OF speech Is the basic fac
tor; she is the opposite of the slut
tereP.
TO understand and help any VIC
tim of speech disorder, 1t is neces-
sary to know the general condition
OF his health and any physical rea-
son for the trouble. 1t is neccs.
sary to know also the psychology
cal state. including mental ability.
emotional patterns, home life and
training. education. etc. The prob
lem IL. therefore. always a very
deep one, not entirely within the
province Of any one specialist.
