War Places Emphasis On Clear Speech ;
Clink Aids Servicemen And Civilians
By BMNETT FAIRORTH
Modern, specialized warfare
has stressed the importance of
clear, distinct speech—bUt facul
ty members of the Speech and
Hearing Clinic, located on the
third floor of Sparks, for'esaW this
trend more than a' dozen years
ago.
• Branches of the armed-service
encountered instances where ra
diomen had mumbled orders Over’
the' wireless, ’ thereby - confusing
troop and transport. movements.
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.

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.

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

children, and other persons need

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.
Legislative action in 1899 cut the
College appropriation and mining
extension work had to be curtailed

enabled the extension work to con
tinue from 1908 to 1915.
In 1931 extension activities were
placed on an organized basis com
patible' with' the newJy reorganized
School of Minei’al Industries. A
director was appointed to take full
charge of the work. Harry B.
Northrupp is the director now.
During the same year an agree
ment was consummated between
the State Departments of Public
Instruction, Mines, Labor and In
dustry, and the College. Through
this agreement extension classes
in the field of mineral industries
could be organized throughout the
state by the College. There are cen
ters in 42 counties now.
