Speech Defects
Due To Several
Causes
Bv Loron r1endenlns, N. D.

~ IF'"NW FHIVIII - VI y
THERE ARE many different
kinds Of speech defects and they
may be due to several different
causes. Within the last thirty
years a number Of physicians and
clinics have taken this up as
speciality and are able to make
great improvements in the con-
dition.
One group Of causes consists Of
organic defects. Sometimes this is
The Ypsilanti daily press. (Ypsilanti, Mich.) 1928-1962, 1942-05-01
Correcting Dental Defects

The correction Of dental defects
is perhaps the most hopeful Of all
methods Of curing abnormal
speech. OF course, after the dental
defect is corrected, the child has
to be re-educated in correct phona-
ton. Nowadays cleft palate brings
quite a high percentage of sue
cessful results in the hands Of
skilled plastic surgeon.
The second large group Of
speech defects are known as func-
tional. In these there is either I'M
perfect perception or control of
the processes Of utterance in spite
Of normal organs of speech. Some
Of these are delayed speech, lall-
ing, lisping, repeating the same
word and aphssia.
Aphasia, of course in older
people, is due TO organic disease
Of the brain. In children, with
whom we are concerned in this ar
ticle, it is usually due to lack of
attention. In the several other
forms Of speech defect listed, such
as lall1ng. repeating, there may
be some lack of mental develop
ment at the root Of the trouble.

A. F.: as cataract caused by
the blood, and can it be removed
through blood absorption"
Answer: This question shows a
very dangerous state Of mind. We
do not know exactly the cause Of
cataract, but we do know that
there are no blood changes. 1t
must always be treated as local
disease. The danger is that much
precious time will be wasted by
the use Of blood purifiers and pos
sibly vision in the eye will have
degenerated during this time so
that when removal Of the cataract
is made, the vision is nearly gone.
The Ypsilanti daily press. (Ypsilanti, Mich.) 1928-1962, 1942-05-01
May Be Imitation

In other cases, especially as in
hsping, the origin is likely to be
imitation. There are few regular
functions which we perform which
are so easily influenced by imita-
ton as speech.
The third group Of speech dis
orders is usually considered psy-
chogenic. The principal example
Of this is stammering. In nearly
all the clinics for speech re-educa-
ton and correction, the treatment
consists Of a mental study Of the
patient plus patient re-education.
The form of re-education differs
considerably in different clinics.
In this country one Of the per-
manent ideas is TO teach the stam-
merer to give up his monotonous
tone and sing his sentences. In
England they depend a great deal
upon exercises and relaxation.
Another popular idea about
stammering is that it was due to
changing from natural left-hand-
edness to right-handedness and
when the patient is allowed to go
back to using the hand that he
wishes to. stammering is improved.

adequate and is not employed any
longer by most members Of the
medical profession. II is notable
that the fatigue Of the neuroses is

It was understood in well in
formed quarters that the parachut-

and that afterward the infantry
landed on the coast and established

parachutistS withdrew.
Hours after the announcement of
the raid, the Germans recognized 1t
In an official Nazi news agency dis
patch, broadcast by Berlin and re-
corded here by the United Press:
"On the northern French coast
number of British parachutists
landed last night. After they ha
surprised a weak coastal post they
retreated back over the channel
two hours later in face of the pres
sure of German counter attacks"
A later communique said that
first reports Of the raid, which, it
was believed, was carried out dur
ing the night, indicated 1t was
very successful"
An air ministry communique, re-
porting heavy attacks by British
fighter planes on air fields in &C.
cupied territory during the night,
indicated that the Royal Air Force
had covered the invasion raid by
keeping German planes grounded
over a wide area.
At the same time giant bombing
planes attacked the Kiel and Will

battleships Scharnhorst and Gnei-
nenau are undergoing repairs, and
bombed other detectives in north
west Germany. Three bombers were
missing.
