racts the tendency to fear and worry and strain. I
know what the stammerer needs. I know the things that need to be done
to quiet the hyper-nervous case. I know what to do to banish that
intense self-consciousness and make the student self-forgetful. These
things have been learned by experience. And these gained-by-experience
methods start the student in the right way from the very first hour.
Pupils Are Met at the Train: We are glad to meet pupils at the Union
Station, where all trains over steam roads arrive, if the student
informs us beforehand (either by letter or telegram) the road over
which he is coming and the time he will arrive in this city. There is
no charge for this, it being merely a part of the courtesy extended to
students who are unfamiliar with the location of the Institute. A small
bow of blue ribbon should be worn as a means of identification.
When You Arrive: If you have not written or telegraphed us to meet you
at the railway station, as soon as you arrive go to the telephone booth
and call the Bogue Institute and a representative of the institute will
be sent for you promptly.
Your Baggage: The transfer of baggage from the station to the Institute
will be attended to by our office. The Baggage Transfer makes regular
trips to the Institute for the purpose of looking after the baggage of
new students as well as those who have completed the course and are
leaving for home.
Entrance Requirements: It is necessary that every student entering the
Institute be of normal intelligence and at least eight years of age.
Every student must also be of good moral character and must be able to
speak the English language sufficiently well to take the instruction.
When a stammerer has been cured in one language, however, he is cured
in all languages. Rich and poor are here treated with equal kindness,
courtesy and respect. We believe in those who are here to be cured,
regardless of their station in life, and we believe in helping them
accomplish that purpose in as short a time as is consistent with the
results which they desire.
Grounds and Buildings: The Institute Building and Dormitory stand in a
large lot, ideally located, in a desirable residential neighborhood
away from the dirt, dust, noise and clamor of the city and yet not so
far out as to be in the least removed from the city's activities.
Board and Room for Students: The Institute maintains its own Dormitory
and Boarding Department under the di
