JOURNAL OF  THE  SOUTH  AFRICAN  LOGOPEDIC  SOCIETY 

Editorial 

In  the last edition of  the Journal  we were able to read articles dealing with 
some of  the many types of  defects  handled by the Logopodecian. 

In  this issue of  the Journal,  there are three articles on language disorders 
in children. During the past decade an increasing interest in the study of  language 
and its disorders has been shown. One of  the findings  resulting from  this growing 
interest is that if  the language function  is disturbed in any way, difficulties  ranging 
from  complete lack of  speech to a deficiency  in reading can be found. 

Since reading is an important aspect of  the language functwn,  an article 
on the teaching of  reading to the Cerebral Palsied  Child by Ε. M.  Harrison  is 
presented in this issue; Isaac  Jolles  presents his views on the teaching of  language 
and conceptual thinking to the brain-injured child, and an interesting case history 
of  an aphasic child, compiled jointly by Dr. Law and Mrs.  Shavell 
concludes thai section of  the Journal  in which the emphasis has been on language 
disorders. 

An article on organic dyslalia by A. Rummel is indicative of  the fact  that 
the often  so-called dull subject of  dyslalia, when correctly handled, can make inter-
esting reading and stimulate one to think of  dyslalia from  many new and different 
angles.
