Officer training schools turned, down Navy. and Army trainees with speech disorders because leadership depends on the ability to direct and command orally. Many with speech defects were sent to the Speech Clinic, cured, and granted commissions. Servicemen Develop Speech Disorders After-the war is over the Speech Clinic will also be called on to teach many veterans how to talk. Many soldiers who have suffered concussions have lost their' power of speech because of injuries to the central nervous system. .-Under the strain of invasion and relentless attacks some serv- Mathews agency, praised the work done by the department in the advancement of advertising instruction, and explained the presentation was made at this time to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the agency’s founding. Prof. Donald W. Davis has been in charge of advertising instruc tion in the journalism depart ment since 1936, during which time the number of advertising courses has been more than doubled. Approximately 80 gra'd -uates have accepted responsible positions in the profession. In its advertising instruction the depart ment stresses the use of advertis ing techniques for public infor mation purposes as well as for promotional objectives. In the set, which contains more than 3000 issues, is valuable his tory arid data on the advertising profession. It will be 'placed in' the journalism department’s ref erefice room, where it will be available to students at the be ginning of the fall semester. Prof. Davis said' it will be invaluable ih charting the history of adver tising in America. THE COLLEGIAN HERBERT KOEPP-BAKER icemen have developed cases of stuttering. Injuries in the face, mouth, nose, and neck impaired the speech of many G.l.’s. The ear, a vital organ in the speaking process has also been harmed in battle. • While the Clinic plays its part in the rehabilitation program, it will • continue to aid the student body; Every semester the Clinic gives a speech screening, test to all incoming freshmen as part of the registration program. Freshmen with defective speech are spotted by the Clinic faculty, retested, and assigned Speech 100. This course carries no college credit-arid is taught to individual students iby members of the Speech and Hearing Clinic staff. Several types of speech disord ers are represented in the student body. Patients were born with no palate to separate the nose and mouth, and suffer with “cleft” palate. Lisp is often caused by space between the teeth. Impro per speech is also produced by ir regular teeth line or malaclusion. The. Speech .Clinl'c, headed by Dr. Herbert Koepp-Baker, is bet ter equipped to correct the speech defects of college-, students, school children, and other persons need ing the treatment than any simi lar department in any other East ern college.

Clinic Has Dark Room ■Photographs taken of the cleft palate condition are developed in the Clinic’s dark room. These and other slides and plaster of paris models of the mouth are used in Dr. Koepp-Baker’s lecture cour ses to demonstrate the physidlog ical aspects of speech disorders. The Clinic is equipped with many types of technical appara tus to test the speech and hear ing of the patients. A sound proof room is used to administer the audiometric hearing test. Rate and form of breathing are recorded by the kymograph. A sound-mirror records a pa tient’s voice and automatically plays it back. When a person hears his own voice over the “electric slate” he is always sur prised. Because we hear our own voice by bone and air conduction, it sounds richer. When anyone hears his voice over the sound mirror, transmitted only by air conduction, he doubts that the voice is his. M. I. Extension Service Reaches Fiftieth Anniversary This Month Mineral Industries extension service marks its fiftieth year of existence this month. Its establish ment was the first organized min eral industries extension in the United States that records reveal. The demand for mining exten sion came about through the en actment of mine laws in 1889 in cluding those which required the certification of all underground of ficials.' In its first five years the exten sion service printed and distributed 27 bulletins and delivered a series of free lectures. In 1941-42 the combined Mineral Industries serv ices conducted 399 classes in 301 centers for 7,000 mineral industries workers in Pennsylvania.
