A despatch from Fort William! German Surgeons Use Knife to Improve Children's Speech A despatch from Berlin says: â€" German surgeons are now employing Empire Exhibition at 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 letters. Usually lisping is due, however, to 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 comes when the first teeth are lost, the child acquiring the habit of shoving tha tongue forward into the holes left by the missing front teeth. In these cases cures are ef- fected by a course of exercises.
