Stuttering
Deposit Surplus Money: As a matter of convenience to those who bring
with them extra money, we grant them the privilege of depositing it in
our safe. Other valuables may be left for safe-keeping when desired. If
the students prefer, they may deposit money with one of the city banks.
Pupils should not carry much money with them; they may lose it.
Pupils' Mail: Relatives, friends and others addressing letters to
persons in attendance at this Institute should address all mail to
students: "c/o BENJ. N. BOGUE" to avoid delay in delivery.
Foreign Students: It will be necessary for those who speak foreign
languages to learn the English language before they will be admitted to
this Institute. The instruction is only given in English, but persons
of all nationalities can be cured if they have the proper knowledge of
the English language. When once cured in one language, persons are
cured in all languages, however.
Companions for Pupils: Parents, guardians or companions may accompany
small children or others, when they wish to do so. It is entirely
satisfactory for those accompanying the pupil to be associated with the
children during treatment. They may room together, if desired, or they
may secure adjoining rooms.
When You Leave for Home: When necessary, we secure railroad tickets for
our young pupils, check their baggage and place them safely aboard the
proper train, when they leave Indianapolis for home, and otherwise take
especial and careful interest in having them properly started homeward
after their stay with us.
Rich and Poor Stand Equal: Claim is made that this is one of the most
commendable features of the Institute. It is not so in all institutes.
Fine clothes and freedom with money are not the test by which the
student secures his standing, but by his earnest, faithful work and
gentlemanly or lady-like conduct. It is inward worth, not outward
adornment and display of wealth, that wins friends and gives the
student a place on our roll of honor. The student is judged by what he
is, and not by what he has.
Neglected Education: No one need hesitate to place himself under our
instruction on account of neglected education or advanced age. All
embarrassments are carefully avoided. Scores of backward pupils, who do
not even know how to read or write, enter every year, and are entirely
and permanently cured by the Unit Method.
CHAPTER VIII
A HEART-TO-HEART TALK WITH PARENTS
If you are the mother or father of a child who stammers, you should
first of all read Chapters IX to XIV, inclusive, in Part Two of this
book. These chapters deal with the speech disorders of children from
before the first spoken word up until the age of 21, when structurally
as well as legally the mind and body of the infant merge into that of
the adult.
