Canada's 91 -Year -Old
German Surgeons Use Knife
to Improve Children's Speech
A despatch from Berlin says:-
German surgeons are now employing
operative' methods for the cure of lisp-
ing, snipping a section from the end
of the tongue having been found ef-
fective in ending this defect of speech
when it is due, as is often the case,
to the tongue being too long to find
its proper place behind the teeth when
pronouncing the S and other sibillant
bad habits which the tongue acquires
in childhood. • Sometimes the child ac-
quires the habit" of _misplacing the
tongue when learning to talk so that
the characteristic lisping results; in
other cases it conies when the first
teeth are lost, the child acquiring the
habit of shoving the tongue forward
into the holes left by the missing front
teeth. In these cases cures are ef-
fected. by a course of exercises.
