It is impossible to examine all of the Warren H. Gardner (standing). The children write down defective children in the state, and therefore the number sounds conveyed to them in decreasing volume from the audiometer (special phonograph) in the corner. examined from each town or county is in proportion to the total number of school children in the state. The examination work done in hearing is in no way a medical examination for ear defects. The examinations are designed to discover which children are hard of hearing and how llluch of a hearing loss each child has. After this information is obtained parents are urged to procure for their children a medical examination with special emphas is on the hearing mechanism. A fter the speech examinations instructions designed to remedy the defects are given to parents and teachers.

Remedial Work Needed by State's Children

The need for 5peech and hearing work is much more ser­ ious than appears on the surface. Stutterers, who are of average normal intelligence, are retarded approximately two to three semesters in school achievement. Hard of hearing children are retarded approximately two yea rs in school achievement. These children are often badly in need

She is now with the Indianapolis public schools doing speech correction work, and her place has been taken by M iss Roe, former speech correc­ tion supervisor with the Mankato (Minn.) school system. Miss 'Woods is a specialist in clinical psychology, and :Mr. Sonday was gradl1ated from the Cniversity with a major in speech.

Technique of State Survey Outlined

The state of Indiana has been divided into geographical regions with one large town in the center of each region. and the entire staff moves from center to center, generally remaining in each place for at least one week. A clinical center, housed in three rooms furnished by the local pub­ lic school system, is established in each town visited.

Plans fo1' Fuhll'e Are Ann.ounced

In the coming year the clinic will attempt to re-exam­ in e the speech defective chiluren who were examined the (;rst year. In this way the amount of change that has come about in their speech can be determined, and further rec­ ommendations can be made to parents and teachers. The group hearing tests II' ill be conducted in more rural cen­ ters if possible. The clinic will , of course, visit all the towns which were chosen as centers this year; however, sinc.e it will require less time for the retests than for the original tests, the clinic will not have to spend so much time in each center. B.ence it will be possible to incr ea ~e the number of centers to be visited. This type of clinic can contribute a great deal to the state. As special eciucation moves ahead the larger centers of population will offer sufficient examination and treat­ ment for the defective children. An example of this at present is Kokol1lO, where the school system owns its own testing equipment and employs :Miss Rhessa Routh, Dr. Warren H. Gardner (right) gives an individual hearing PG'36, as speech teacher, and Miss Thelma Ga~ser as a test, as child calls out numbers he hears. Watching are Mrs. Bernard C.

It is the sincere It is impossible. of course, to examine all of the children desire of the Indiana University speech and hearing clinic in the state in one year ,: and very little value accrues from staff to offer as much assistance as possible to pa rents and a hearing examination program lI"hich examines only a school systems in their efforts to improve the speech and few children in each building inasmuch as the test is de­ hearing of their children. It is the goal of the University's signed to locate children who are defective in their hearing clinic to locate children whose speech and hearing are in rather than to diagnose the nature and cause of their dis­ need of medical attention. Many parents would be willing order. This problem of nature, cause. and treatment is to help their children in this direction, if the parents \\"ere purely a medical one, made aware of the need.
