There are many cases of stuttering indirectly caused by pad management of those associated with the youngster at an age when he is most susceptible to this condition. Constant ridicule and criticism will undermine the child's confidence and security making it difficult for him to overcome what is often at first a very trifling stammer. Any attempt to cure the trouble by scolding or punishing the child will only instill fear in the young mind and make a cure still more difficult.

Now, Mr. Polke, how do you wish the balance coming to you to be paid?’ Again he smiled, and Rita looked at him in entreaty. Surely so kindly a man would not make such a heart- less joke! ‘“Yes,” he said in answer to her look, ‘“‘there will be quite a balance.
