W-F CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES >?< YEAR, NO. 48. SIXTEEN PAGES TWO SECTIONS MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT. NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY, JUNE 15. 1954 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS 31 Children To Finish Work In Speech Clinic Parents Will Visit Clinic Tomorrow to Study Pro gress Made Thirty-one children will finish their courses at the Speech Cor rection Clinic, Morehead City by observing Parents' Day tomorrow The parents of children who have attended the clinic will hear the tape recordings of the children's speech when they entered the clin ic two weeks ago and will then hear recordings of the children's speech at the end of the course. The clinic is sponsored by the Carteret Chapter of the North Car olina League for Crippled Chil dren. Sessions are held in the Rec reation Center. Children who have attended the clinic come from Atlantic, Smyrna, Beaufbrt, Camp Glenn, Newport and Morehead City. According to Fred G. Lewis, di rector, two weeks before school was out teachers were asked to give the clinic the names of children with speech impediments. The chil dren were then given articulation and audiometric tests. Some of the children were found to have speech difficulties because of faul ty hearing. The clinic sought to deal only with the substitution of sounds and the omitting of sounds. Children were put into five groups, according to ages. Each group, except the first graders, attended four different classes each morning with each class lasting thirty minutes. Each teacher drill ed on one or two special sounds. Teachers for the clinic are Mrs. J. D. Willis, Miss Gertrude Styron, Ralph Wade, Mr. Lewis and Mrs. Bob Williams, all of Morehead City, and Miss Catherine Gaskill, Beau fort. The parents' conference will be gin tomorrow at 10:30. After the parents hear the tape recordings, they will be given the results of the audiometric tests. Letters will be written by the administrators of the clinic to the parents of the children and also to the teachers of the children next year so that the program may be followed through. Mr. Lefcria point ed out that the program has to be followed through in the homes and the schools or the clinic's work will be of little value. This is the third year of the clin ic and it has grown in enrollment every year. The first year of the clinic there were 13 children and last year there were 18. Four children who have been at tending the clinic all three years will be graduated this year. All four have almost perfect speech now, Mr. Lewis said.
