Defective Speech Effects Handicap To a Person Asserts Wisconsin Man i "There can be no more terrible overwhelming handicap to person ! ahty, success, and well-being than ! a speech handicap, and no greater ! joy than to recover from or:." j This was the statement of Dr. Robert West, professor of speech pathology at the University of ! Wisconsin, who recently returned i from Washington where he was a j member of the conference on child health and protection, called by President Hoover. I The consideration of the problem of the child defective in speech, conducted by Dr. West as chair man, was one of tne important conference subjects. This problem I has been the subject of a series of I radio interviews, conducted over i ! WHA, the university station, by Dr. West and Frof. C. M. Wise. ; chairman of the department of I ! PDeech at the University of Louisi ana, who is studying this year at the University of Wisconsin. 'During a period of over a year preceding the conference, we con ducted a survey, and found that in America there 'are 1,000,000 speech defectives between the ages of six and eighteen," said Dr. West "Of that impressive group there were over 221.000 stutterers. Although the greatest number in any year of age seems to be at about twelve, this does not imply that stuttering is relaed to adolescense, but the figures do point to its being de velopmental, at least." More Boys Afflicted. "About four boys to one girl stutter, and as they grow older the difference in these figures increas es, due to the fact that more girls than beys reenter from this af Mic tion, " he pointed. Arguments vary as to the cause of stuttering, said Dr. West, but it is generally agreed that it is not coused i'y tcr.gue-tie, enlarged ton sils, adenoids, or any structural defect of the speech organs. It has its roots in the inner physical and psychical life of the patient. "Stuttering is probably rooed in the disturbing function of the nervous and glandular system, about which very little is definitely known, except that it is not path ological in the medical sense, it is rooted in the abnormalities of childhood development, and that it I is related to the difference between jtexes." Dr. West explained. "A second cause, although never suf . ficicnt to produce a chronic stut jter, involves a latge group of psy I rhological factors, as: anxiety, I fear, embarrassment, hysteria, and I ieeling of social inferiority." ' Psychology is Factor, j Thousands of people, he declared, !a e troubled with these emotions, iand do not stutter, but many who ' do stutter are bothered with them. 1 However, there is no doubt that i these psychological factors aggra i vale the" stuttering and cause it to ' appear where otherwise it would I not, stated Dr. West.

Thti caste system, the conflicting religions, the 562 Independent states which are absolute monar chies In themselves, and the educa tion of some 3,000,000 persons of innumerable mixed races, consti tute some of the Important prob lems which confront india today in her attempt to change her govern ment in which Gandhi has played an important part. These prob lems and Gandhi's influence on them were discussed by Prof. L. M. Larson, head of the drpartment of hiitory. in the f'ual lecture ot a series of seven given recently in one of the courses. Castes have been established for a long lime and one of the classes of people that has been created is a class of untouchables. About 1. 000,000 people are shunned by all above their rank and they are completely restricted by laws. Is a Stumbling Clock. "The caste system is one of the stumbling blocks which the Hindus face today in their efforts to es tablish freedom." said Professor Larson. "The Mohammedans and Hindus have alwa.v-3 conflicted in their religions to add to the prob lem. Furthermore about 30 per cent of India consists of 562 inde pendent states which are absolute monarchies. How can these fit into a democracy?" PrOfcfsor Larson discussed the part that Gandhi played in some of these problems. Critical agita tion spread throughout India after the World wnr and England passed acts to punifh the agitators. At this point Gandhi stepped in, fore swore Britain because of these acts and took the side of India. Professor Larson brought out seme of the ideas of Gandhi. He ob jects to all foreign influence. Gand hi said: "India's salvation con sists in unlearning what she has learned in ihe last fifty years." Need Education. Professor Larson told of the problems of educating more peo ple and of the crowded farm re gions. He spoke of India as "fab ulously rich and unspeakably poor." He summed up his lecture by saying that certain ideas, such as the idea of untouchability. must be discarded before India can be come a succecssful free nation. The Lincoln Academy was lo cated at 414 N street in 1909 and had an enrollment of 140. Miss Florence McGahey, now university registrar, was the only female student taking mechanical engineering in 1902. that were called, in our slang, O. I. Oral Inactivity, a sort of clumsy way of speaking, difficult to understand because it lacks precision and clearness of utter ance," Dr. West commented. "These cases do not increase in number with the coming of adol escence as with the problem of stuttering." In all types of speech disorder, Dr. West told, the boys far out number the girls. My grandmother used to say a girl's tongue is hinged at both ends. Dr. West said, smilingly, and probably this accounts for that fact. Changes With Age. "American children numbering 462,000 improperly substitute one sound for another," said Dr. West. "But. speech training seems to facilitate the speed with which they learn proper sounds, and the number falls off rapidly as the children grow older. Defective speech of 86,000 children is due to poor dental structure, hare lip, or cleft palate; 57,000 children pre sent serious foreign accent: 40,000 children have voice defects: and 4,000 paralyzed children have some speech trouble as a result of their paralysis," he said. Declaring that it is of tremend ous importance that the subject of speech is beginning to get ade quate atention. Dr. West said that it meant something a happy life or an unhappy one, to thousands of people with remediable speech troubles. Provide Education Councils. The White house conference, he said, has provided forty-nine coun capped children, a national coun cil, End forty-eight state councils. These groups and institutions such as the University of Wisconsin speech clinic are to carry their work to the children in cities, vil lages, and rural places thruout the United States. "Practically everyone every where may well giveattention make a sort of checkup, so to speak to correct his own speech into reasonable perfection," urged Dr. West. "But it is more impor tant that he check up on his chil dren. Most adults can not relearn ! speech, but children do it easily. I precautions should be taken by 'the mother fro mwhom the Vhild learns most of his speech, that the ! child's playmates and teachers have speech habita worthy of im iitation," Dr. West said. Twenty-nine years ago the Ne braska Wesleyan Athletic associa tion was considering the idea of organizing a football team. They were greatly influenced by the Ne braska team. Back in 1902. all students of military science were required to purchase their own uniforms. A tailor made suit could be pur chased in 1902 for $12.25 and they threw in a cap with the sale.

Call B 2157 1232 O St. Ag College Publishes Bulletin On 'Better Farming for Nebraska; Describes Progress of Agriculture BY BOYD VON SEOOERN. "lUtUr Kimning for Nebraska" is the name of tlie latest bulletin published b.v ihe colicu of agriculture. It is more than h bulletin, for, as an introductory paragraph suggests, it is a story of what the college is doing for Nebraska agriculture. The work of the agricultural experiment station and the agricultural extension service is told in this now booklet. The offices of these two organizations u are on the college of agriculture campus, various outlying stations for experimental work are the agronomy farm, near Lincoln, the fruit farm near Union, and the sub-stations at North Platte, Mitchell, Valentine, and Alliance. At these stations problems re lating to agriculture are studied and solved, some of the large pro jects requiring years of work In analyzing, collecting data and testing. Extension workers hold thousands of meetings yearly and go into all parts of the state. Cites Progress. Until 60 or 70 years ago, the ac count begins, the plains territory was looked upon only as a high way to the regions of fur and gold that lay farther west. Those who broke out the prairie found a good soil and it was not many years be fore some of the earlier hardships began to seem less troublesome. Nowadays it is a common thing to see farms equipped with excellent homes. But the problems of mainten ance of agriculture as a profitable occupation have become acute, the booklet continues. Agriculture must grow with the rest of the world. There must be an organi zation that studies, improves, sug gests and encourages. Those are the purposes of the two special services. Discusses Many Topics. Topics which the booklet cov ers are many. There is a long dis cussion of crop improvement which devotes particular attention to Ne braska No. 60 wheat and which it classes as the most popular va riety of winter wheat ever grown in Nebraska. It was developed by the Nebraska station. There is an explanation of the method in which the ten-acre corn yield contest is conducted, a con test that has influenced corn growers throughout the state. Prophet of 1903 Pictures Type of Collegians in Nebraska at Present "It the western college student is, in culture, scarcely the peer of his eastern contemporary', he quite balances the account by superior mental power." That was the strong defense for Nebraska students put forward by Benjamin Andrews, chancellor of the university in 1903, in an article published in the New York Inde pendent. The Daily Nebraskan reprinted the chancellor's article on Jan. 16, 1904. The article was titled. "The Coming Generation of Western Scholars," and makes a few pre dictions about the western stu dents of the next generation (1930). "I am speaking," said the chan cellor, "of the usual or average CP.e and by greater industry. Western youth can boast as good blood and ancestry as eastern. The best immigrants to tne United States have settled in the west, and their numerous children and grandchildren attending universi ties are among our most promis ing students. Western men and women put forth effort more naturally than the scions of fam ilies who have been well-to-do for generations. They possess the will for it and also the strong physique. "Never have I seen in the east, save in professional and graduate school, such desperate and unre mitting application to study as characterizes the mass of students in the prairie states." Idlers Unknown. "Western students generally dis play a veritably insatiable hunger for higher education. In them sur vives the spirit of their pioneer fathers, who before they had places to lay their heads, taxed themselves to build schools and equip universities. Western stu dents attend college to learn rather than to be taught. They average, per student, many more hours a day than eastern. The typical college idler is never seen. With eagerness for knowledge the western student combines a zeal and a power for hard work seldom if ever witnessed in east ern institutions. "The outside 'seminar,' to cram men for 'exams,' reducing the necessity of study to a minimum, and turning into farce so much undergraduate 'work' at the oldest of our universities, the west has not been adopted. "This assiduity in mental toil often under the greatest obstacles is an invaluable discipline, not only intellectual but moral, tend ing to form and settle a young man's character as desultory study could not possibly do. It is not astonishing then, that the west ern collegian should display not merely much the greater power of concentration, but also the more earnestness morally. "Moral Weight" of Students.

Corn Is Fed. Weed pests and diseases are di cussed and estimates are made of the value of the college and its departments in those fields. Im proved methods of livestock feed ing are considered and It is stated that 85 percent of Nebraska's corn is fed to beef cattle hogs and sheep. "By far the largest item in the cost of producing meat is the feed," says the account, "hence the importance of feeding trials. Farmers have shown considerable interest lately in barley and wheat as feeds." Questions Answered. The dairy department answers about 5,000 questions sent in from over the state each year, an ac count of the growth of the dairy industry announces. Poultry rais ing used to be a woman's job, an other section states, but a pro gram of research, teaching, and extension has paved the way for a poultry industry, the products of which are valued at $30,000,000 annually. Nebraska ranks tenth. Testing of the nation's tractors at the college of agriculture is recognized as being outstanding in the entire world, the booklet de clares. All tractors tested are certified by manufacturers as be ing stock model machines, and every tractor sold in Nebraska must be tested at the experiment station. Research In home economics in cludes lighting of farm homes, ar rangement of kitchens, and water supply. The special poultry, dairy, wheat and pork trains that tour the state are also discussed in short fc general as in his collegiate life. The moral weight of the average university students is among the things that have most impressed me in my experience west. "Native ability, enthusiasm for knowledge, coupled with the power for study that their strong phy siques impart, and their readier submissiveness to discipline, all at tested by the goodly number of fellowships, which western men and women hold in eastern grad uate schools, assure the coming generation of western scholars a prominent place in American men tal life. "These are some of the reasons why, as a New England professor (not a professor of rhetoric) has put it, to continue as our chief purveyor of highest education products 'the east has got to get onto her job.'

PRICE 1-25 lis Daily 3 K CRIME LABORATORIES Contention Is Science Can Prevent New Misdeed By Solving Old. Favorable action of the legisla ture upon the recent proposal to repel crime by means of science, made by Dr. J. H. Mathews, direc tor of chemistry at the University of Wisconsin and widely known ,r.s a scientific crime investigator, is foreseen in state scientific circles. Declaring that many otherwise unsolvable crimes could be solved by proper scientific application, Dr. Mathews affirms, in essence, that a state scientific laboratory should be established at the Uni versity of Wisconsin. The fact that it would be an effective means of deterring the criminal would alone make the laboratory a good investment, he believes. "The proposed laboratory, which would be called the Wisconsin In stitute of Criminal Identification or the Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory, would serve to deter criminal acts and thus justify the expenditure." Dr. Mathews ex plains. "If a criminal knew his chances for escape were poor, he would hesitate. Kven if the bureau served only to prevent two mur ders a year because of its effi ciency in solving crimes prevented persons from committing them, I am certain everyone will agree the investment would be a good one." Like Northwestern. Dr. Matthews' proposal would be modeled on the plan of the North western university crime labora tory. He says, while the cost would depend on the institute's scope, a good laboratory could be started for $40,000 to $50,000 a year. To have it function at maximum ef ficiency, Professor Mathews esti mates that up to $60,000 a year should be available after it is es tablished. "This would be a small invest ment in view of the good that could be done" he reiterates. "I believe many crimes are going un solved through failure to use scientific methods and technique, well known only to certain ex perts, who would be on the labora- j I tory staff. A number of murders in Wisconsin that were unsolved, t could, in all probability, have been explained if someone familiar with the scientific technique bad been employed. That is what the insti tute proposes to do. Would Be at U. W. "I do not mean to belittle the work of the ordinary detective. He frequently is a clever and intelli gent man, but he has not had the training to apply the scientific techniques nor could he be so trained."
