If this amount or more can pledged within the next few week a firm ncial footing for E. A. X. A. during 1916-1917 will be at least guar- anteeed. With a little over $700 al- ready pledged, it should not be hard to secure $500, or more, quickly. Bear in mind that the larger the total sum pledged, the smaller the amount of each individual assessment, in the tit of a possible deficit. For in- stance, if we are so fortunate as to pledges amounting to $2000. and a deficit at the end of 1916-1917 is found to amount to $100,—the as- t on a $10 pledge would thus be SOcents onl\ Is ii not tim for A.

He finds out that there is a language which is used in ry country in the world and by means of which he can travel in any land or correspond fr ha suf- ficient number of its inhabitants to get such information as he may de- c and he is invited to send for free information. No witness the psychological bran mation of John Jones! H gets his literature from the Central Office; looks over the book-list and orders a fifteen-cent xt-book by means of which he is to become a full fledged Esperantist. He is invited to become a member of the Associa- m and to subscribe for the maga- zine, but he feels that he cannot af- ford it. -anto is a free proposi- tion. Why should he spend his mon- for anything connected with it? The Verda Stelo club advertises ex- tei i free public lecture on E peranto, at the end of which free class- will be formed. The class lea- looks around for a text book that can be obtained for a quarter, or less, ai :iidly suggests to his future pupils that they amount in order to become familiar with the most ns tul language in the world, out si their ov> ative tongue. He would not by any means dare to suggest to them that they first join the club, or that they should help support the na- >nal organization. This is asking al ther too much I eranto has been cheapened and who is to blame? Is it really of-as little value as that which wc have placed on it? If so why do we spend our time and strength in its prop ganda If Esperanto is a tried and proven living language: If it will broaden a man's point of view: if it will open the doors of the World to him, th< let us rescue it from the penny basis and put it in the dignified position which it merits.

So many different ucs present themselves to the immittee that it is somewhat diffi- It to choose the one or ones whi will bring fairly in bate results. In accordance with suggestions re- ceived, the principal paths to be pur- sued may be classified as follows: (1) The Press. More maga and -paper notice must be obtained / AMERIKA ESPERANTISTO for Esperanto as it is on publicity and the extent of our advertisement that the success of the movement primarily Within the past two years, more and more, have we been able to note the increase of serious attention given Esperanto on the part of the moulders of public opinion. That it can be secured is being amply r! >n- strated daily and with the right kind of peranto material presented in e right kind of manner, failure to secure publication is extremely doubt- ful. It will be the duty and pleasure of the Propaganda Committee to sug- gest or secure articles for state con- suls who in turn, cither personally thru their own selected state propa- ganda committee shall see that they reach the editor's desk. (2) The Schools. When one thinks of j peranto propaganda naturally the first thought usually is "Getting Esperanto into the Schools." This is most laudable, and the ac- knowledged ambition of every true Esperanto However it is just as well to realize that there is much pre- liminary work to be done before tl international language is placed in our public school system as a com- pulsory study. We lose valuable time not beginning on that preliminary work n< and getting thru with it as quickly and efficiently as possible. fore our educational authorities look with uti favor on our pro- ject, tluy mu st be shown the practicability, the use, the need, and the value ol into for the pres- ent and future generation This can •a be done by working demonstra- tions such as are furnished us by Julian K. Fast and the Esperanto group in Delphos, Ohio, where Espe- uto will be taught this term in the 8th grades; by Judge \Vm. R. Dain- gcrfield who has attained striking ccess with his classes at the Univer- California Summer School, by Rev. J. L. Smiley and th Annapolis Esperantists, ho engineered the passage of the bill in the Maryland Legislature permitting tha I Esperanto in the schools, and who now are working to obtain the goal which that bill places within re: These and many other ex- amples furnish us with an idea of the preliminary steps necessary. Co- operation and simultaneous action along the above lines, will soon bring us within sight of our ultimate aim. (3) The Lecture system, embrac- ing the use of the Esperanto lantern ide collection; Y. M. C A. and Y. W. C. A. work; Commercial oppor- tunities with Latin and Spanish America; "Peace" openings; gen- eral and special propaganda,—these are some of the topics to be taken up among the members of tl Propa- ganda Committee, and will be touch- ed on in the next number. The mem- bers of the Committee, both nation- and locally are selected and rat- ified according to the amount of abil- iity and willingness which they have for WORK, plus that practical en- thusiasm and deep devotion to the isc of Esperanto which some not far distant day will place the Inter- national Language in the sphere which by reason of its gigantic pur- pose id mission in the world, it should rightfully hold. To assist in the selection, we would grateful for names of any Espe- i ntists who wish to enter this speci- al branch of our national Association work. Address the Chairman at address as above. Propaganda Doings After tl hibitb of lantern slides at the California State Conven- tion. Mr. A. S. Vinzent has since been instrumental in using these to excell- ent advantage at various other loca- tions. With the assistance of Dr. H. \V. Vemans, President of E. V \T» A., as lecturer, extremely successful t hibitions have been iven the Humboldt Evening High School. San Francisco, and at the Berkeley High School. An interested audieiu of about-500 was present at the Hum- boldt High School and an inter* attentio as given the subject. Ar- rangements are now being completed Mr. Vinzent to present the slid fore the Spartan Club of Fruitvale, and the American Institute of Bank- ing, San Francisco. A sample of the true propagandist: u......I should be vei pleased to serve as a member of the Propaganda ommittee. I expect to get a class together and shall also try to get the pers to put in articles from time to time. I should like to see Esperan 11 represented in Maine from one end to the other- I think it can be done with some hard work. If you should have any good articles for newspapers I should be pleased to 10 AMERIKA ESPERANTISTO use them het and if you should want any special work done here T should be pleased to perform the same at any time.

Estas vere ia kaj kuraĝiga afero por la parto- prenantoj, montrante ke la plej nova distrikta fako d< V. X. A. nun po- vas preni propran lokon kun aliaj pli nialnovaj. Estis iornete post la 8a horo Saba- ton v< kiam S-ro Fred Rivers alvokis la ĉ .tojn al la formala kunveno. La programo preparita de la Sekretariino. F-iii .1.

Julia Pracht, unu el la novaj Kaliforniaj rekrutoj, sed pro eruuziasino kaj sciado de bela kaj rfekta Esperanto, unu el la plej sper- tajr ĝojigis mn per la iegado de fama prozajo el 'Tola Antologio." i)i es- lhumora rakonto, kaj la mirinde bela elparolado de la leganlo, uiras ĝin inda je spcciala citado. Mme. Iracht antaŭnelonge suko provis la Elemental)" Ek/.amenon, kun la plej altaj gradoj. Si estas lingva in- struistino, kaj plej cntuztasma pri la idealaj eblecoj kaj lingva beleco de la internacia lingvo. Je la fermo dc la rcgula programo, sekvis neforinalaj paroladoj de iuj al- vokitaj d< >tro Rivers. Untie estas prezentita al ni nia nova Prezidanto de E. A. N. A.. D-ro H. W. Yemans. kiu mallonge parolis pri la nuna stato de la E anta movado tra la raon- do, pri iom de liaj spertoj per la in- ternacia lingvo. pri la estonteco de E- A. X. A. kaj la helpo kaj kunlaboro kiuj devas esti donataj de ĉiuj sami- deanoi D-ro F. G.

Aliaj kiuj parolis mallonge estis S-ino J. S. Horn pri la °a Kon- greso; F^ino Van Sloun, mull la la sen san ĝebla kutimi S-ro Clement Barker; S-ro J. S. Horn kaj S-ro H. B- Weaver. Dum refr lo oni komune int ibiladis, kiel ĉiaiu Esperanta kunveno. Estis preskaŭ la 12a kiam la Rondaranoj diris "Gis la i end morgau vespere." Dima ĉiuj ree kotcktigis kaj kelkaj novaj alvenantoj estis ri- Ltaj. a bela manĝhalo de la II ■••.'. lo enha unu flanko, longan tii u por la E mtistoj.

La dua page enhavas kvar mojn, ori- ginale kitaj de F-ino Celia Doer- r el Grants Pass, Oregon, kaj la anoncado aperis ke la Rondaro donos premion al la persono kiu plcj rapide solvas le plcj multajn cl la enigmoj. La tria pago donas al ni la menuon, kaj ni sciiĝis pri la nomoj de la bon- gustaj manĝajoj. Post "Glaciajo— ifo Nigra" ni ĉiuj atendis senpaci- ence. la montradon dc la lumbildoj la Centra Oficejo. Ni ankorau restis ĉe la fesl >, dum S-ro T. \V. Pal- mer montras la bildojn, kaj D-ro Ye- mans donas la klarigadon por eiu. Pro lia persona koiiado kun la plej multaj el la famuloj montritaj, kaj ankaŭ pro la fakto ke li jam vojagis tra multaj dh &j landoj kaj ha praktikajn spcrtojn per Esperanto, D-ro Yemans sin pruvifl tre interesa laŭ tiu ĉi rolo. Kiel jam prezentite ĉe Annapolis, ne rce konvinkiĝis pri la valora ilo por propagarido kiun A- N. A. donas al ni per tiu ĉi lum bildaro. Pro la malfrua horo, oni ne povis montri ĉiujn cl la bildoj, sed multe da diversaj kongrcsoj, naciaj kaj internaciaj, grupoj de bone ko- nataj Esperantistoj kaj amase kaj in- dividue, la Esperanta monumento en Franzcnbad. reklaraoj de komercaj fir- moj en Esperanto, k.r.p.. e.stis inter la plej interesaj al la rigardantoj. La sekvantan matenon, Sept. la 4an, okazis la labor kun sido de la Rondaro, ĉe la Hutelo Ramona, kie S-ro Albert Norris, Prezidanto, prezidis. Rapor- toj de la aferoj en sia zorgo estis fa- rilai de la rezidanto, Sekretariino, Financa Sekretario kaj Bibliotekisto. S-ro Norris resuu la laboradon de la pasinta jaro, kaj elmoritris ke eĉ se rezultoj ne elstaris. ili tamen estas tie kaj multaj kuraĝigaj signoj por la tionta jaro estas antaŭ la anoj,—■ las la jenaj: la fakto ke post unu jaro de organizado. oni kalkulas 114 anojn inter ili: la Rondaro estas sen suldnj kaj montras monrestajon en la kaso; oni starigis Esperantan ibliol >n, dissemis multe da Espe- ranta literature, kaj plej grandc el i sukcesis en la enstarigo de Espe- ranto en la Someran Kurson de la Universilato de Kalifornio, kun la plej Juĝisto Daingerfield kiel in- o.
