REPORT OF THE EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL CONGRESS of the ESPERAX'l ASSOCIATION OF NORTH AMERICA AT CLEVELAND, OHIO, JUL* 8-12, 1925 When President James Bruce Lindsay of the Cleveland Es- peranto ciet) opened the XVIII Congn dnesd even- ing July 8th, a good sized assemblage bad gathered. He ga\ the warmest kind of a greeting, gr; ullv delivered. The Cleve- land Society is fortunate indeed in its i ident Mayor Towne was represented b) John M. man. for 24 ears a Councillor of the City, and with cordial words he pre- uteri us the keys to "The City on the Hill." Next came Dr. Charles F. Thwing, President Emeritus of Western Reserve University, who referred to his connection with the Esperanto movement in Ohio, some 18 years ago, He asserted that the chief essence of the barrier between na- tions is language, and spoke of the necessity of the unity of people. To him the international language movement has a deep meaning. From the conditions existing in Cleveland, as an example, it is to he seen that as the population of America in- ereases by foreign immigration, international relationships are developed,—which means man and the new Americanism, the new humanities, the new nationalism and the new international- ism (34 papers in Cleveland are published in a Eoreign language, with only four or five in English). The next speakei was Mr. Andrew Squire, President of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce, who seos the world growing smaller every day through the development of international re- lations, which shows the corresponding need of a common lan- guage Rev. Joseph Harriett of Antioch College, Yellow Spring < dm poke in Esperanto which he had learned under Mr. Ilar- y while attendh Perkins Institution for the Blind, then in South Boston, lie told of attending the international Con- AMEKIKA ESPERANTISTO gress at Cambridge in 1907 with a group of 1 - under the car fill le hip of Mr. Ilarv and of his intense interest in E peranto and what it does for the blind. Gilbert M an, Esq., who spoke next, saw a few faces who were present at a meeting 18 >ear- ago. From a purely busi- ne andpoint he claim- thai commerce must go where mone\ rom,—not necessarily from a similar langua Then comes the difficulty n^ distance communication.% To hi- thinkiiv ranto art of the world. Henry \\. Hetzel, Chairman oi the Executive Committee E A. N. A. responded to the greeting- for the A- iation, at ave ttu invitation to hold the 1926 Congress in Philadelphia, Mr. D. E.

The Publications Committee reported having carried on the ik of publishing Amerika Esperantisto to the best advantag possible under the circumstance.,. The serious illness of one of its members, lack of funds either for paying an editor Of pul lishing the magazine regularly bad greatly handicapped then efforts. The work was divided among the committee, each as inning charge of an issue of Amerika Ksperantisto alternately. Considerable saving of expense was managed through several double numbers; this curtailment seemed necessary under exit- ing conditions. An estimate of the stock of books on hand, led down to a very low figure, would indicate $500.00 worth. he Committee wish to thank the samideanoj for the confidence :rl support accorded, and expr hope that another year the work may be continued under more favorable conditions. The Finance Committee submitted no report. The Executive Committee through its Chairman. Mr. Iletzel, >ld of the special task a.*- ned to that committee at the Arden congress last year,—to raise a fund of $5,000. to take care of ist and current indebtedness and still have a sum on hand wards the future. The Committee found difficulty in finding a ional collector who would consider raising small nounts. Though several were interviewed, each one required substantial amount in band before attempting the work. centuallv, at a very late daw a member of the Publications Committee undertook to i perate with the Executive Com- mittee.

It was announced that Mr. Kozminski would give a short Ik at 7.45 from WE \R. The Goodyear Rubber Tire Company. The experiences of many were given, most of which has previ- ously appeared in A. E. Rev. Joseph Bartlett of Antioch College ■ive a course of ten lessons over radio daring the winter: they ere short hut aimed to cover the main points without beii resome. Some papers were sent in for correction, which were iteresting to the instructor in showing hew accurately the le >ns went on the air. Plans for another course the coming sea- m will be based on the ilts of this experiment. Esperanto and the Boy Scout was on the program, but we were unable to g i local scout master to come to the session it was camping week. The pamphlet containing the Esperanto course fur r the Interpreting Badge was unfortunately delayed, but is now published under tl title "Interpreting have a supply on hand and can furnish them for 20 cents each. Prof. Tomich of the Lakewood High School spoke on Esper- into in the preparatory schools; he believes in petitions being presented to have Esperanto put in the public schools. He be- lieves in the direct method only. He started a class two months go with two lessons a week, which had made great progress. A enalty of 50 cents was imposed if the lesson was not learned! Professor Trautman of the Case School of Applied Science ;ed the Kellerman Complete Grammar in a class consisting of rofessors and students, with two lessons a week of one hour ch. In this school Esperanto receives the same credit as other lodern languages. A course will be started in February. Professor Bartlett had a class at Antioch two years ago, the upils speaking Esperanto only. They played games, were even given problems in Algebra, and in a short time were ready for >rrespondcnce. Each one wrote letters and received replies. t year there was no course sts the superintendent was an ardent I.atinist. but there is a desire on tin- pari m" the parents > have the course re-established the coining year.

Two large classes in the High School, the beginners using ECellerman's Grammar and • -aiders the advanced used the Krestomatio. This class also AMERIKA ESPERANTISTO made translations of stories into I | eranto to be used in the lower grades. < >nly Esperanto was used in class, paraphrasin all their work into Esperanto rather than translating it into Eng- lish, They conversed readily and were enthusiastic. Esper- uto was also taught in all grades above the fifth ; the fourth and fifth grade boys doing a ell as the upper gradi -and weo more enthusiastic. The work will continue the coming year in all grades above trie third, "as it has been found of great advantage in connection with the English grammar, and especially beneficial for eighth raders as a preparation for foreign language study." Miss Eeavitt thinks there is too much theorizing and too little advert ; of Esperanto: that people should be informed that Esperanto is working all over the world now. Mr. I let/el -ays that the stud; I Esperanto is only a mean to an end,—for international use;—J eranto must be used aft< it is studied. Mrs, Goldzier says; Esperanto is one of the eternal topics; never should we be discouraged. Adjourned 5 P, M. Friday Morning, July 10. The first subject for discussion v. e International Auxil iary Language Association of the United Sta Inc. (IALA) and the suggested plans of cooperation to advance the inte of international language. Mr lletzel being one of a grou who met at the conferences last winter in New York and in touch with the leaders, gave a general outline of the plans of thi< association, and expressed sympathy with their aims and be- lieves it would be wise for every one to be thoroughly informed about it. Considerable discussion fallowed and the opinions were var- ied. As it was announced that Dr. Herbert N. Shenton, Seen tary of the IALA would be here Saturday morning to represent the Association further consideration of the subject was tabled until then. The next subject was Konstanta Reprezentantaro of the Na tional Societies.

O. ■ Present SOME IMPRESSIONS OF THE XVIIIth CONGRESS The 1925 Congress brought more new laces than in many years, including many wli- names were already well known in the movement. Those of us who have attended the Con- pretty regularly for say. the past ten years, will find a erj -mall proportion of the usual names, w^onie are in Euro] and others were absent fur various reasons. And so there was a distinctly new atmosphere. For many it was their first Es- peranto congn —and how much they must have looked for- ward to the event can be surmised only as we look back to our first congress. The headquarters at Hotel Cleveland have never been equalled. The luxurious Lounge was large enough to take care oi the audience with such comfortable seating faciliti a table big enough for all the papers and other documents the Chairman and the Secretary could scatter! A piano if needed, writing tables, and the registration desk presided over 1 no Jenkins who gave every one a cordial welcome. Tl were numerous committee rooms; on« ith a book-case and a large table in the centre made a library or reading room, with Bob Marootian al- ways at hand to give information about the books for sale and the magazine exhibit on the wall. The parlor in the directors1 suite across the hall made p committee conferences with no interruptions. Early and late one could find samideanoj in the Lounge or the Library. Some one casually remarking that by not using the Lobby this year we did not meet the other gm broughl rth the comment; "No, and tin don't see us!" He i il propa- gandist and took pain- to be n in the lobby with his green star! Some of this year's kongresanoj are not identified with EAN by membership, but all were alive to the ideas and ideals of E peranto and with hardly an exception they will join the coming year. One of the most distinguished modestly asked if he and Ins colleague might not know the conditions necessary for join- ing. Among the many seen whose individualities impress one, first should be mentioned our hosts as a whole,—busy as bees, each AMERIKA ESPERANTISTO 17 one looking after hia own part, and the Secretary looking after them all. Then wa the gay young group coming for the week- end and seeing a emigres or the !irf the group in the Lounge who s • sleep at a COngn The fundamentalist who c.uni.it honestlj "wm the war" by making concessions: the irrepressible hair., who is confident of the world-wide accept- Esperanto immediately a f changes are made, and the printer no longer has the excuse that he has to buy queer type. The gentle but entlm lie professor wdio needs not the light of day for his great vision: the vigorous enthusiast who punctuated his statements with his list: the little lady who has published a hymn hook in Esperanto, written songs and set them to music, saving all the profit for the benefit of the Orphans' Home. The charming English lady speaking Esperanto as if it were her mother tongue (did you hear about the Esperanto romance— that's another story), The man who completed his training for a lecture platform noting the comments of his audiences in a long publicity tour through Europe tute en Esperanto. No need qu i his st: .—tor were we not honored by the pres- ence of the permanent souvenir! The poetic idealist from the old world who feels it the greatest thing in the world to be follower of La Majstro, and to be counted among those in Amer- ica is the crowning glory. Th< were numberless other- who could be mentioned, some at a congress for the first time, getting impressions and saying tie but with opinions of their own: others who come every year and do what needs to be done. You who were there may re uize the type-. And as the Congo - closing under S-ro Murray's leadcr- ip we got up and joined in the lilting tune of "Li estas Bone- gul< one little aktivulo who had to sit >till!

H. B. H. ESPERANTO AS AID TO MEDICINE The Medical Faculty of Lyons, France, awards the degree of Doctor of Medicine with special horors to Louis Poncet for his thesis on "Vaccination against typhoid and cholera in eight- een European Countries." The fads, reports and statistics used in the preparation of the above mentioned thesis although coming from eighteen coun- tries were obtained entirely through the use of but one lan- guage Esperanto—during five mouths of correspondence, and were pi nted to the hoard of examiners in a 200 page thesis. Dr. Rotihier, one of the examiners, surprised at the results pre- nted, and still more by the method us*d for obtaining them in- uired of the candidate if he had found Esperantist physicians in every country? Mr. Poncet replied that in some countries he did not know the names of physicians to whom he could apply and therefore had sought aid of Esperantists who were not medical men, hut who were so good as to obtain for him information from medical urces. Another examiner. Dr. Rochaix, Vice-Director of the Bacter- iological Tnstitut f Lyons, said: "t >ne readily sees from reading your thesis that you are a fervent Esperantist ; and you have accomplished through the aid of that language a f that would have been very difficult with- out such powerful help." Prof. Pic said, as reported in the Heroldo de Esperanto: "1 am happy to be one of your examiners... your work is a pioneer work..... From the social viewpoint Esperanto is of exceedingly great interest. Its creator, Dr. Zamenhof, was a genius who doc- honor to medicine. If death had not taken him no one more than he would have merited the Nobel peace award. "Educated persons can learn Esperanto in less than three months. An ne who has had the opportunity, as I have had, of seeing Japan* Russian and Spanish physicians who have me here to Lyons and have made themselves understood by this International language must be convinced.... - 22 AMERIKA ESPERANTISTO "I hope your method of work will be imitated/4 Finally the president of the board, Prof, P.
