EDITORIAL. 

/ 

It is nearly two years since our first S.A.L.S. Journal 
was published in March, 19^7. We now present Vol.1, No.. 2 
with the hope that its contents will prove stimulating and 
thought provoking to our readers. 

The Society has "been far from static during this long 
period, our Chairwoman's report given at our last Annual 
General Meeting ably covers the activities of our society 
during this period. 

The Editorial Committee sincerely hopes that this Journal 
will become an annual publication from now on. Our Society 
is small and this is only possible with the co-operation of 
each and every member. Our profession is still young in 
this country and it is surely the duty of every one of us to 
share our knowledge and experience with each other, if Speech 
Therapy is to progress, both in theory and practice, along 
scientific lines, in South Africa. 

A Journal should provide an excellent outlet for the 
exchange of ideas, discussion and criticism, together with 
reports on research studies and so on. It may also play a 
very valuable part in our fight for recognition and help 
to establish our profession on a.far sounder footing. 

In the past there has been a very noticeable lack of 
enthusiasm amongst members to take an active part in the, 
administrative affairs of our society - a deplorable state 
of affairs - I wish to appeal to every member to take an 
active interest in the future of our Journal and make it 
their responsibility to provide some material suitable for 
publication each year. The need for circulars and-reminders 
should not exist. 

We look forward, with your help, to a profitable and 
stimulating future through our forthcoming editions of this 
Journal.
