...such defectives, especially to their parents. Professor Harold Stearns Vaughan of Columbia University, a surgeon-dentist who has been repairing the gaping roofs of mouths for 30 years, last week gave good cheer. In the American Journal of Surgery he pointed out that their defective speech is primarily due to the failure of the soft palate to close off and separate the nasopharynx (space back of the nose) from the oropharynx (mouth part of the throat). Consequence of such failure is that air which should escape from the mouth, during the enunciation of consonants, vibrates through the nasal cavity...
Apart from stitching a harelip (best done when a child is two to six weeks of age), and wiring a cleft palate (best done between the second and third year), Dr. Vaughan has devised a method of lengthening the soft palate so that it can effectively close the upper part of the throat, resulting in clear speech...
...forward along the gums to the bicuspids. From there the inner bars of the W go inward across the roof of the mouth until they meet at a point midway between the molars. This cutting makes three gores in the roof of the mouth. With a blunt knife Dr. Vaughan separates the two rear gores from the palatine bone. This allows him to slide the soft palate, to which they are attached, backward to the rear wall of the throat. The loose flaps of membrane he then stitches to new positions on the palatine bone. By the time they grow...
...rhythm, a clear conception of everything he plays. Except for a youthful Mozart symphony Sir Thomas presented an all-British program. An overture by the redoubtable Dame Ethel Smyth was commonplace noise. Delius was represented by a sensitive, finely spun dance from Koanga, a delicate serenade from Hassan. Vaughan Williams' London Symphony has seldom been made so eloquent, with its suggestion of the ever-rolling Thames, the gay street scenes leading up to a grim hunger march, the solemn, chimes of Big Ben. After Elgar's rollicking Cockaigne overture there were cheers for Sir Thomas, who suddenly appeared...
