THE HIGHER PATRIOTISM It was very fitting that our National Congress this year should have been held in the "City of Brotherly Love," in connection with the exposition celebrating one hundred and fifty years of American liberty. It is significant that the birth of our great nation took place hi a city founded by a religious sect devoted to universal peace. That true patriotism is not merely consistent with but immeasurably heightened by a love embracing all human kind is demonstrated equally by the Society of Friends and the adherent- of the international auxiliary language. There have been rife in the world two varieties of pseudo- patriotism. One is the sort which sets up one's own race as so superior to all others that the rest of the world must by force of arms be rendered subservient thereto. The other varietv of false patriotism regards one's country . self-sufficient, and would hold aloof from all but the most superficial contacts with r nations. We Esperanto are definitely committed to the increase of international relations of all sorts, and in so doing we inevitably -ter a spirit which will eventually break down our artificial political and social barriers and throw us as a nation into the life of the world, win • belong. To the heart-true Ksperantist there are no "foreigners," no "inferior races": white or yellow, English-speaking or Hottentot- speaking, we are all "brothers." We English-speakers are simply more fortunate in a material sense than most other races. In the words of the great Declaration issued from Philadelphia in 1776, "We hold these truths to 1 elf-evident, that all men are creat equal: that they are endowed by their Creator with certain in- alienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and tin ir- suit of happim Now we ourseh as a nation have main- tained life and attained liberty and happines- It is our part, then, to lend a helping hand to the peoples in five continents who are pursuing these "inalienable rights" under far h AMERIKA ESPERANTISTO picious circumstances than ever fell to our lot. The higher pat- riotism is the patriotism of SERVICE. Ours as Esperantists shall it be. To quote our Ma in his speech at the London Guildhall. in 1907: "Long hall dark night endure upon the earth, but it shall not endure forever. The time shall come when men will cease to be wolves toward one another. Instead of continually fighting among themselves, snatching their n tive lands on another, thrusting their languages and customs one upon another, they shall live together in peace and brotherhood: in complete harmony they shall lab upon the earth, their dwelling place, and against those ru forces of nature which attack them all alike. And in con- junction and agreement they shall all be striving toward one truth and one happiness. And if ever that happy day shall come, it will be the fruit of the constant and tirele labor of those men. .. .who bear the name, as yet but little known and lightly esteemed, of Esperantists.' " REPORT OF THE NINETEENTH ANNUAL CONGRESS of the ESPERANTO ASSOCIATION OF NORTH AMERICA Philadelphia, Penn., July 20-25, 1926 /iv The Philadelphia Esperanto Society expressed the desire sev- rral years ago that during the Sesquicentennial celebrations there should be an Esperanto Congress, at least a national one and perhaps the international one. There was at once prepared a "sticker** for attaching to en- velopes in correspondence, representing Independence Hall and on the green background the words "Esperanta Kongreso Phil- adelphia 1926." These were generously supplied and served as an attractive bit of propaganda. Mr. II. W. Hetzel, Chairman of the Cleveland Congress in 1925, in responding to greetings for the Association gave the formal invitation to hold the 1926 E. A. N. A. Congress in "Fratamurbo." The beautiful lounge and the attractive smaller room adjoin- ing which served as the akceptejo. library, etc., were the tie of the in formal welcome to the kongresanoj at four o'clock Tuesday, July 20th, by the members of the Philadelphia Soci Bravely did one man function in three roles,—President I lei/ AMERIKA ESPERANTISTO of E. A. N. A. being also Chairman of the Congress Committee and Secretary of the local Society! The official opening of the Congress was Tuesday evening in the lounge of Hotel Pennsylvania. President Edw. W. Pharo of the Philadelphia Society greeted those who bad assembled and turned the session over to President Hetzel who presided throughout the Congress. The first speaker was Dr. \V. Kreugen, Vice-President of the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, who gave greetings for that body, saying that the name of the ship on which William Penn came to the country was WELCOME and the city had always tried to live up to that word for hospitality. Dr. Davis, City Statistician, representing the Mayor, quoted a statement that the aeroplane is bound to connect all nations of the world, and remarked that likewise Esperanto was spreading its influence throughout the world. Miss Margaret Maisch, Treasurer of the Philadelphia Societ then recited Polonius' counsel to Laertes on the eve of his de- parture, from Hamlet. The English version was followed by the Esperanto translation! and so clear and beautiful was the Espe- ranto that it seemed no one could have failed to understand even if not conversant with the languag Dr. Kenji Ossaka spoke of his first interest in Esperanto in 1906, of the tremendous growth of the movement in Japan, the articular society to which he belonged numbering over 2,500. Dr. Ossaka has practically demonstrated the utility of Espe- ranto in his extended tour in tin country; though he now uses English with ease, Esperanto was of incalculable value to him for the first few months of his \ i-it in America. We were especially honored in the presence of Dr. Ernst ECliemke «»f Berlin, a distinguished attorney and also Presidem of the German Esperanto Society. He spoke first in Esperanto, bringing greetings from boiiic. and referred to the great nee (I of an auxiliary language in Germany where there are some 1,200 languages spoken. He then spoke in English out of courtesy to non-Esperantists, saying that man differs from the animal by the gift of language, which, however, is sometimes misused an makes misunderstandings. Through the development of the means of communication the world is growing smaller and peo- ple are being brought closer together; but if a great leader wishes to talk to the world, how shall he speak? lie believes that the propagandists for Esperanto are really working for mankind.* ♦Lnder the guidance of Dr. Kliemke. Rudolphe Mosse & Co. are bring- ing out "Biblioteko Tutmonda," the first ts umbers of which are now to be had. AMERIKA ESPERANTISTO i followed the readin >f an Esperanto poem written by M. Vidikauskas of the Philadelphia Society, and author of the Litovian text book "Vadovelis Esperanto Kalbos." Mr. Richard R. Woods. clary of the Friends Peace Com- mittee, spoke for that organization, lie sees a tremendous op- portunity for Esperanto, in the work of spreading understand- ing and love. In introducing the next speaker. President Hetzel remarked thai "Esperanto is a language; Esperantism is a spirit.11 Mr. |. E Morton brought gri ngs from the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahai Movement, telling ihe audience that tb leader had commanded them to study Esperanto, and that in the international gatherings Esperanto is needed as the vehicle of communication. Wednesday Morning The first business session opened at 10.30, called to order by President Hetzel. Parts of the Constitution of E. A. N. A. were ad, and the first matter under disci m was the greater use of Esperanto at business sessions. Various opinion- were ex- pressed, one member suggesting a year's warning after which all business should be in Esperanto; another that it should be laŭ vole, that ours i lomestic and not an international meet- ing; still another that English should be used generally. On motion of Miss Eeavitt, it was voted that the business sessions be carried on in English. It was suggested that anything given in Esperanto should be translated for the benefit of i tuloj. Several changes of program were annour and sentiment was expressed in favor of a visit to Arden on Sunday, with the service to be held tbere; the local committee were asked to make the proper arrangements and report later. It was also voted to bold a business session on Saturday after- noon. The Congress Committee was asked to post the program as rearranged in a conspicuous place. Greetings were read from the following: Edward S. Pa Hon. Pres.; J. B Lindsay, Vice-President; The Esperanto Office of Detroit: I )r. I). O. S. Lowell: Miss Alice Wicks, (Victoria, B. C.) : Mr. H. B. Hastings: The Boston Esperanto Society ; Rev. L. W. Cronkhite; Mr. J. J. Sussmuth. The question of the use of proxies was brought up, and the Congress voted to follow the definite provisions in the Constitu- tion of E. A. N. A. and Robert's Rules of Order. Wednesday afternoon the program was followed and the Congress went on a sight-seeing trip through Philadelphia and its suburb- and to the Sesquiceniennial grounds. ; M AMERIKA ESPERANTISTO Thursday Morning Meeting called to order by the President. The report of the Secretary was called for. Her report was prefaced by extracts from the first record book of Esperanto, beginning in 1905, when on February 16th a meeting was held at the house of Mr. C. II. Matchett (in Boston) to hear about Esperanto and discuss the advisability of forming an Esperanto club. At the fifth meeting of this group there was organized the Association, which is now holding its Nineteenth Annual Congress. The Secretary reported at length on the activities within our territory, taking the states in order; she also told of the gi h of the movement, the increased detail and the specific things which had been accomplished during the year. (The gen- eral activities have been published in V K. from month to month and are not repeated here.) The report was adopted. Mr. G. W. Lee, for the Publications Committee, spoke briefly of the Magazine, of our good fortune in having the services of able an Esperantist as Mr. Scott as Editor, and of the several circulars prepared during the war to inert the calls for informa- tion. The report W&8 adopted. For the Propaganda Committee, Mr. F. A. Ilamann the Chairman reported on his plan of the "Friends of Esperanto" which was first to interest persons in the subject in a general way. after which they would become definitely allied with the movement. His plan was started in Chicago in February at already many signature- had been obtained and the work is fast developing. Adjourned. The luncheon for I". E. A. members was at 12.30 in the dining room of the Hotel Pennsylvania, but it was found inadvisable to transact any business a cheduled, and this was deferred until the Spertularo meeting scheduled for 9.00 P. M. Friday. Thursday afternoon Kongresanoj met at the Auditorium of the Sesquicentennial, and in spite of the extreme heat and dis- inclination to serious work, the program as prepared was carri- out, with President Hetzel | siding. Ex-President Bardorf spoke of Esperanto from the view-point the scientist, and told of the Internacia Scienca Revuo which w; rted under the dire >f Dr. Pierre Corret in 190L ■iii.ng other thing- a chemical nomenclature was prepared. Lid: Science does not need an extra language; scientists read broadly, are educated and find the miracle of tongues in jperanto. 6 AMERIKA ESPERANTISTO Dr. Raymond T, Bye sang "Okuloj Bluaj," at rtpanied by Miss Leavilt al the piano. Mr. Iletzel spoke of tl ■ ri|> of Mr D I.. Parrish to Europe and North Africa in 1911. of meeting him in Krakow and listen- ing to his eloquent urea in Esperam and of the remarkable 1 »!ed pictures which he showed ; of his own trip to Boulogne- sin- mer and the thrill of seeing the green flag. No other language piritual—ready to help. Tereso Gascon gave the story of Esperanto in her own inim- itable way and showed low a child can learn it as her mother tongue. She was followed by her youngei ister I ho als,, speaks Esperanto.

The kongre> j, after the meeting, made a tour of the Se qui. meeting at Miss ^choole} I afeteria for dinner and then enjoying Freedom in the big amphitheatre Friday Morning Meeting called to order by President Iletzel who appointed r the Resolutions Committee Me rs, Bardorf and llamann and Miss Leavitt. Letters were read from Mr. Jenkins of Toronto of the reorgan- ization of that group and the radio talks given by Mr. Marry Wall: from Dr. Onderdonk on board the Carmania where he had been giving lessons in Esperant from Pr r Clarke IN AMERIKA ESPERANTISTO with details of the method of conducting his radio course during University hour. And last the announcement of a new course in Esperanto over radio from the Gimbel StudioAVGBS begin- ning Tuesday July 29th and to be given by Miss Helen Eaton who is teaching the class at Columbia University. The report of the Treasurer was given by Miss Amy Leavitt, wlit» told of the difficulty in preparing it and the delay before being able to examine the papers after the decease of Mr. Mann. She gave the highest praise to the very careful and elaborate manner in which Mr. Mann had carried on his work as Treas- urer. On motion of Mr. Bardorf it was voted that the report of the Treasurer be accepted and Miss Leavitt be thanked for her careful work in preparing it. (A res- ume of the Treasurer's report will be found on eparate sheet.) Friday afternoon was devoted to a trip to historic Valley Forge. Friday evening, at 8.00 o'clock, a short business session was called to order by President llrlzel. Inquiry wa made of the work of the Examinations Commit- tee, and Mr. Hetzel referred to the decision of E. A. N. A. two years ago to discontinue examinations and to use the U. E. A. Institute examination- when prepared, which are now announced as readv to function. After discussion concerning some elements in Esperanto in variance with the Lingva Komitato. on motion of Mr. Pope it was voted: That this Congress . on record as pledging itself to stand by the Lingva Komitato as against innovations made by i a hers. The report of the E Utive Committee followed as belov which on motion duly made it was voted to accept. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE The w«»rk of the Executive Committee during the past year has not be< n of particular importance, due chiefly to the hearty co-operation of President Iletzel and Secretary Meriam. When- r questions have arisen that demanded solution these officers have been ready at hand with advice or assistance or both, so that the way has been smoothed in every instance. Perhaps the most important action taken during the year was when the Guarantee Fund reached the $1,000 minimum, the au- thorization of a requisition on that fund. The first call for 25% was made, and a second and third call for 25% each are contem- plated before the close of the calendar year. It is believed that if all guarantors will pay promptly when called upon, the treas- ury will have funds sufficient to pay current expenses through 8 AMERIKA ESPERANTISTO tlie calendar year. As this is a problem feu* the incoming execut- ive committee, we may dismiss the subject here without special recommendation. Another problem that arose during the war WBS the filling of the vacancy in the office of treasurer occasioned by the death of the late lamented and highly esteemed Mr. Mann. As Mr. Mann died rather unexpectedly, an emergency was created, which was promptly handled by the Secretary and the Executive Commit- tee through the appointment of Miss Amy Leavitt of Washing- ton to complete Mr. Mann's unexpired term. Miss Leavitt con- sented to accept this appointment, at no small sacrifice to her- self of time and effort, and this A ciatton is to be congrat- ul n having been so fortunate as to secure her sendee Her report, already made, is a sufficient demonstration of the wisdom of the appointment. It is sincerely hoped that she may be induced to continue in the office of treasurer and to that end that she may be granted Mich assistance I hall make the work •ssible for her without seriously trenching on her time or ener- gies. In the opinion of this committee it would be a serious mi fortune if the association should be denied the services of Miss Leavitt as Treasurer, Other activities of the Executive Committee during the year have been of minor importance. Some assistance was given to the able head of the Propaganda Committee, Mr. Jlamann, in the drive on fifty colleges with a view to securing signatun the Amikoj de Esperanto pledge, and this resulted in some mea tire of success, leading up to a request for an article on Espe- ranto to appear in the October number of the Cosmopolitan Student, a magazine published in the interests of the Cosmopol- itan Students' Association, which embraces many colleges. In this way the door may have been opened to present Esperanto to the large circle of international students many of whom are not now familiar with the language. We recommend that.this pro] mda be continued and that Air. Ilamann be retained at the he of it. Taken as a whole the past year seems to your committee to have been a period of substantial progress in the Esperanto movement, though not as broad or as rapid as we would lik Esperanto is being "put on the map" by various agencies, to all of whom we feel like expressing our thanks and congratulations, with the hope that the good work may go on in future with ten- fold more power than in the past. Respectfully submitted, E. M. Pope, Chairman, John C. Bley, Stanley Kozminski. AMERIKA ESPERANTISTO The Nominating Committee presented its report as instructed. The meeting adjourned, and the Spertulara session followed. The Resolutions Committee presented the following report, read by the Chairman Mr. Bardorf:— Resolved: That this Association express its appreciation of the efficient services of the officers who have served gratuitously during the past year and also of the continued deep interest of the Secretary in the arduous duties of her office, notwithstanding the unfortunately discouraging conditions under which she had labored; That the Association gives grateful acknowledgment to the care and foresight of the local committee in arranging for the convenience of the business meetings and the comfort and en- joyment of those present; That acknowledgment is also made of the generally favorable interest manifested by the local press in the events of the Con- gress and the aims of the Association; That we express to the management of Hotel Pennsylvania «air pleasure in the complete and generous arrangements made torthe convenience of the Congress and the comfort of its mem- bers; That, individually and as a national association, we deeply feel the loss of our faithful and efficient Treasurer. Mr. B. Pick- man Mann, who had become personally endeared to all of the of- ficers and to many of the members of the Association. The mod- est and unassuming character of Mr. Mann, son of a famous father, kept his remarkable attainments in many lines of literary and scientific work from general knowledge; and advantage is .ken of this occasion to make a permanent record of the fact that in Mr. Mann's death the Esperanto cause has lost not only a zealous supporter of long standing, but a distinguished man whose scholarship was known outside the borders of the United tates; Thai we again urge upon all the Esperantists of the North American Continent that they support by their means, their labor and the sincere co-operation of their local societies, the Esperanto Association of North America, and the international association consisting of the union of the Centra Komitato, (Con- stanta Reprezentantaro and the Umversala Esperanto Asocio. C. F. Bardorf, Chairman, F. A. Hamann, Amy C, Leavitt. The assembly stood in silence in memory of our late beloved Treasurer, Mr. Mann. Mr. Bley suggested the formation of a special committee to consider methods for conducting the work of the association; 10 AMERIKA ESPERANTISTO is brought out considerable discussion, some thinking that tin us commits under the constitution were sufficient if properly functioning. < hi motion of Mr. Bley it was voted: That a Committee of five be appointed by the Chairman Onsider and report at the next annual meeting on the advisa- bility of making chat > for improvement in the methods of conducting the routine business of E. A. N. A. Further, that o ficera he requested to furnish such information as it may desii An) i hange unanimously agreed to by the Cn motion of Mr. .Morton e aided by Dr. Bye it wa voted: That the Guarantee Fund is available for the just debts of the Association as well as for all other expenses thai cannot be paid by current receipts. < Mi motion of Mr. Morton seconded by Mr. Schmidt it was voted: That the Secretarj alary for the ensuing year be $1,200. In reply to the inquiry about the le f $1,000 bj the late I.. 1). Stockton it reported that our interests are in the hands of Brewster F.

INTERNATIONAL BUREAU OF EDUCATION 4, Rue Charles Bonnet GENKV \ The J. J. Rousseau Institute of Geneva, a College for the study of educational science, has just opened, with the moral support of the Swiss League of Nations Union and of a Com- mittee of Initiative, the International Bureau of Education. (Di lector: Pierre Bovet, professor at the University of Gem Assistant Directors: Elisabeth Rotten. Ph. D. and Adolphe Ferriere, founder, in 1899, of the International Bureau of New Schools). During the last few years a.large number of associations and international conferences have advocated the opening of an In- ternational Bureau of Education, working in the spirit of the League of Nations. In order to be really useful, such a Bureau must be completely independent; it must be non-political, non- party and non-sectarian. Above all, if it is to speak with au- thority, its activity must be based on objective scientific prin- ciples. The J. J. Rousseau Institute (founded in 1912), which has established relations with educationalists in many countries throughout the world, which enjoy* the confidence of education- al circles differing very greatly from one another in their out- AMERIKA ESPERANTISTO 1<> look, and which started out to be a centre of research and in- formation, is particularly well fitted to organize such a Bureau. The main object of the International Bureau of Education is to promote international cooperation in the field of Education, by forming a centre for the educationalists of all lands, and thus contribute to the general progress of Education. For this pur- ose, the Bureau will keep in touch with the Secretariat of the League of Nations, the International Labour Office, the Govern- ment Education Departments in all countries, as well as with national and international associations interested in education. The activities of the International Bureau of Education will ^fall under three heads: 1st Information. The Bureau will be a central clearing house of all information concerning public and private education, in particular elementary and secondary schools; psychology as applied to education; vocational guidance, etc. Its sources of information will be the documents, etc., furnished by other lucational bodies; articles in the p; personal correspon- dence; interviews with competent persons; investigations under- taken by it^ own agents. 2nd Scientific Research. By undertaking scientific or statisti- cal research work, the Bureau hopes to contribute to the solu- tion of problems relating to the psychology of children, the sci- ence of Education, methods of examination (for example in y ocational guidance), etc. In cases where scientifically con- trolled facts have proved the advantages or drawbacks of any educational method, the Bureau will endeavor to bring these facts to the notice of educationalists. 3rd Coordination. The Bureau will naturally serve as a centre of coordination for the efforts of institutions or societies dealing with the same questions, or working in associated fields. It will promote or organise journeys for teachers desirous of pur- uing educational research. The International Bureau of Education will carry out i work in a strictly scientific spirit. It will not attempt to have a direct influence on the young, but will serve as a centre of inspi- ration for educationalists. It will avoid any tendency to a gen- eral uniformity in education; it will on the contrary endeavour to promote the full development of the national genius in each ountry. It will avoid red-tapeism and seek to adapt itself to the varying needs of the hour. The International Bureau of Education is beginning modestly ml will develop as rapidly a- the means at its disposal allow. The carrying out of the vast scheme outlined above will only be I 11 ile with the cooperation of all interested in education. We therefore invite Ministers of Education and local Educa- tion authorities to furnish us with information relating to their 20 AMERIKA ESPERANTISTO schools (especially those that concern educational reform either prospective or recently carried out). We ask Associations of teachers, as well as all societies inter- ested in Kduc n, t<> acquaint u> with their activities and help u* to find honorai rre>i>ondents in their own countries. We hope that editors of Educational Reviews, authors and publishers of works on Education or Psychology, will send us their publications free of charge, in order that we may be able i give information on their work. We ask all interested in Education to assist us in finding the funds indispensable for carrying on our work, by obtaining do- nations and suhscri] on our behalf. What can we oiler in exchange? An indication as to sources of information, and whenever possible replies to questions; the results of our research work; the literature published by the Bureau, as soon as ire in a position to bring it out; our litiative or as ance for the organization of confercm activity of the Bureau will necessarily depend to a gi stent on the financial and other assistance that we receive. Throughout the world, everyone agrees to-day in thinking that only a new spirit, generous and humane, can bring about ihe peaceful solution of the terrible problems confronting us on all si< and that no power but education can create that It is the business of educationalists to spread among the youth of the world an atmosphere of goodwill, con- fidence and brotherhood, sole guarantee of strength and perma- nence for the League of Nations. \\ e call upon you to coop- erate with them 1>\ giving the International Bureau of Educa- tion the assist. thai it needs, if it is t irry on il on behalf of l <• ami Truth. The information s< tion of the Bureau will start work on 1 \pril 1926. Correspondents are asked to be good enough to enclose witli their requests for information the amount of one gold franc in international nips.
