Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Speech Defects in School Children, and How to Treat Them
The school system has grown increasingly ?exi ble during the last twenty years. Its effort to adapt itself to the peculiar problems of special groups of pupils constitutes one of its most substantial achievements in efficiency. Special provisions for the deaf and dumb, the blind, the tubercular, the crippled, the mentally defective, and the exceptionally gifted are among the means now employed by large school systems to equalize educational Opportunity. In each case initiative has been stimulated the moment the facts of a particular neglected need have been adequately presented to the school administrator. Then ex periment ensued, followed by the garnering of experience's best results. Once the program of practical procedure has been evolved, special teachers have been trained for the new respon sibility. Within a decade, what was once a new and somewhat startling innovation has become a completely accepted tradition of the schools. This has been the history of every type of special in struction now included in the school organization.
