Besides the wisdom in it, there

Speech Delayed

Speech must naturally wait on
other phases of brain develop
ment. At birth the hearing centers
are almost completely undevel-
oped. 1t takes a loud noise TO wake
a baby. Sight at first is confused,
hardly more than light, darkness
and large confused objects are
distinguished, and probably the
baby sees everything upside down.
Speech is useless to one who can
not distinguish the word for an
object, and who doesn't even dis
tnguish one object from another.
The baby learns that some
sounds command attention-to get
food when it is hungry. So it cries
or mutters and food is brought.
Here--a boys best friend is his
mutter" - acknowledgements to
Mr.. F. P. Adams, on Information
Please").
But at about two to two and a
half years, the preliminary
groundwork for speech has been
laid down in the nervous system.
The cells and fibers Of the hearing
center are matsre, and the baby
realizes that sounds, including the
speech Of adults, mean something.
The vision Of the eyes is fused and
turned right side up and his world
is full of objects for which he
wants a name.

Learns by Imitation

Imitation is the baby's method
OF learning TO talk. This imposes
a great obligation on parents. Imi-
tative speech certainly sticks. l

distant future as when Mr.. Roose-

way they do (Which cannot be in

troubles that bother some parents
all come from imitation - swear
ing, slurring, slang. They are not
really troubles: they simply show
the baby is alive-alert.
Delayed speech is probably the
commonest real worry of parents.
Organic defects - deafness, men,
tai defciency-are rare as causes.
Common are environmental situa-
tions; such as:
Observation-Disclosures who are
brought up in a bilingual house
hold and try to learn two Ian
guages are, unless excessive care
is exercised, backward in both.
Lack of chance to learn-The
way a child talks is the third most
important thing in his life, after
vision and hearing. Parents should
take the utmost pains to speak
slowly, distinctly and simply.
Lack of motivation-Older peo-
pie understand what little the
child says, so he has no reason to
enlarge his speech. When thrown
with children its own age, this is
changed.
