Teaching Pronunciation by Machinery.
Two ingenious Frenchmen have recently perfected several mechanical devices which are used in teaching French pronunciation to foreigners. One of them is a small instrument called a " larynxsignal," which is held to the side of the throat when the diphthong "ou " is being pronounced. If the pupil is successful in getting the correct French pronunciation a small bell attached to the larynx-signal will notify him of his success by ringing. If the bell is silent, he may know that he has not given the word the correct pronunciation. Other machines are used for getting the correct pronunciation of various vowel sounds.
