The story

Apart from music and narration, the film is nearly silent and focuses on the faces and gestures of the little boys and girls. It features methods and goals not now used, and notes that only one child in three will achieve true speech. Anderson and Brenton were unable to gain distribution for the film until it won an Oscar in 1955 for Documentary Short Subject.
