Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Articulation Teaching, Vol. 1 BY far the greater number of principles and theories which are advocated in this little volume did not origi nate in my mind. I adopted them after a good deal of thought and study and experiment. Being anxious to gain information from any source whatever, and to make use of anything that might be beneficial to my pupils, I have always tried to get hold of every book and periodi cal from which I thought I could gather knowledge that might directly or indirectly aid me in my work of giving speech to the deaf. I would gladly mention the names of all those whose ideas I have made my own, and whose suggestions I have followed in working out the system of instruction which is described herein, but refrain from attempting to do so, because I am afraid I might not remember them all and, therefore, take this way of expressing my grateful acknowledgments to every one of them. This manual is designed not only for the professional teacher, but also for the mother who is anxious to gather information that will be sufficient to enable her to teach a little deaf child at home for a while, till it is old enough to be sent away to a distant school. Such mothers might shrink from undertaking the task if they found that they would have to study a bulky volume in order to preparethemselves for it. Hence it was thought best to make this book as small as possible. But although it is small there is enough in it to give any person of common sense a good idea of what is to be done with a beginner in articulation, and how it is to be done. After all, the teaching of Speech to the deaf is not, as some people believe, such a wonderful, mysterious art that only those few can master it who are naturally gifted with such special talents as ordinary mortals do not possess and a description of it may be full without being particularly voluminous. In this connection I will also say that, in my opinion, our work does not require such a marvelous amount of patience as many seem to think. Perhaps my enthusiasm for it gets the best of my judgment, yet I must say that it is the most fascinating work, and I do not see how anything that is so highly interesting can be a tax on anybody's patience.
