Ohy Do Americans HMave a Nasal Jwang? Just why Americans have a peculiar na- sal twang never been satisfactorily explained, nor has the twenty-first annual congress of the American Laryngological Socfety, which has just been concluded, thrown much light on the subject. The opinions expressed by the various throat specialists upon the subject were so di- verse and scientific that the layman is left but little the wiser. One point, however, received universal acceptance, and that was that the cli- mate w not the cause, or, at any rate, nat the sole of the twang that is invariably 1 with the term “Y kee.” Tt the New all o nasal twang is not limited to ind St but hae spread continent, and as the cl m: es almost to extremes through- out the country, it was scarcely fair to ascribe to it all the changes that take place in the larynx and vocal cords, and which produce the unpleasant twang.

Guttural sounds were duced by the Germans and Dutch, a number of nasal sounds were brou into use by French Ca ans. The was that the American had grown care- less as to the best way of using his voice nd had a kipd of mongrel speech. People fall into the conversational habits of the community in which they live and make no effort to better faulty methods. The best way of getting out of the habit of speaking high-pitched volee, it was said, is to study tone formation. This cannot be begun too early, and the neces- sity of teaching the subfect in the public schools cannot be urged too strongly Only one person knows how to sing, while a_hundred know how to talk, and until efforts are more widely made to teach the r madulation of the voice the Ameri- possess a nasal twang Able accompaniment, & nasal al catarrh.
