The speech correction curriculum is a minimal major which permits the student to work toward his basic speech correction credential, a na- tionally recognized accreditation by the American Speech and Hearing As- sociation. This major is supplemented with classes in psychology, education, speech and language arts. Courses most closely associated with the major in speech correction are the study of phonetics and voice problems and a general course cover- ing principles of speech correction with emphasis on the most common faults of articulation characteristics of pre-school and the early grades.

I regard archeology as a natural science rather than as history or a humanistic discipline, Butler said. Archeologists employ the hypothetical deductive method. Given certain facts, scientists arrive at a conclusion, this is characteristic of modern science. Archeologists test ideas about the nature of the universe rather than just gathering and interpreting facts, he said. The Rocky Mountain drainage area is a natural laboratory for experiments, he continued, pointing out that archeologists not only collect artifacts-they are interested in the Whole region as it was inhabited by man. There is an intimate relationship between what man does and what is his environment, he added. There is a tendency to regard civilization as lost in antiq- uity, Butler said, but it can be found serving into the pres- ent.

This was Dr. Hanson's last year at the clinic. addition to the practicum, courses in hearing, organic disorders and seminars complete the academic major. The functions of the speech and hearing clinic are many and are inter- dependent, but the primary purpose of all the clinic's functions has always been the training of clinicians. The testing, consultations, therapies, group meetings and parents' institutes have been centered in making better op- portunities for student observers and student clinicians. Graduate clinicians work with col- lege students who have speech and voice problems, seeking to make them better communicators in the univer- sity and as ISU graduates. One half day each week is provided for special consultations by appoint- ment. Usually these are with parents and a young child who is having diffi- culty with articulation or language development. Consultees have come from about 42 Idaho communities even as far as Nampa and Salmon. A few requests have come from out of state. Student clinicians and advanced majors assist with these examinations. .sv Charlyne Craven, teacher, gives therapy to two youngsters as their mother looks on.
