It cannot pass any rules to govern the cam- Pus, but can recommend and ini-tiate through the proper channels.

Men's Chorus at Dedication Speech Clinic, for students from the Lida Lee Tall School who need corrective aid in voice and articulation, is conducted our mornings a week by Miss Thelma Sherman of the English Depart-ment with the assistance of the eight members of the Speech Cor-rection and the Classroom Teacher course. The object of the Speech clinic is to give students who expect to teach an opportunity to observe and recognize the need for specif-ic aid, the methods of correction to be used, and to give them an un-derstanding of speech impediment problems. Initial Attempt This is the first speech correc-tion regularly scheduled with stu-dent instructors which includes: Maxine Goodman, Alice Holden, Sabra Kone, Mildred Nelson, Max-ine Pitman, Betty Lou Shaffer, nn Williams In the past the only attempts to nelp children with speech impedi-ments were made voluntarily by Dr. Arthur Brewington of the Speech Department. After a test to indicate which students need speech correction, each student instructor selects two children to observe for the first half of the semester. The second half of the semester will be spent supervising the correc-tive tongue or jaw exercises, and working upon the two children's particular defects. Students also read stories and practice words and sounds with which they are hav-ing articulatory difficulties. Previous Work Miss Sherman, in charge of the speech clinic program, has done previous work in the field as the director of a school in speech cor-rection in Charleston, South Caro-lina; assisted in a speech clinic at the University of Denver; and did speech therapy work with physically handicapped children at Camp Greentop, Maryland. According to Miss Sherman, the parents, the student instructors and the pupils of the Lida Lee Tall School, all have aecepted the pro-gram enthusiastically. She has re-ceived many inquiries and favor-able comments from the people in the Towson area on U. e work of the Speech Clinic.
