DR. CECIL STOCKARD ** NEW PRESIDENT OF E.A.N.A.   *
_                    "' '     ■"*-----------------------  *
For seven years Mr.Joseph R.Soherer of Los Angeles has*
been serving EANA as its president, giving unstintedly*
of time and effort to the promotion of the oause for *
whioh EANA stands. But some time ago he made known to*
his associates his growing conviction, both that"seven*
years are enough,"and that there would be an advantage*
in having a President closer to the country's center *
of population, who oould be present at annual oongres-*
ses without so extensive travel. And so he requested *
that hi8 name should not be considered for further *
election. The congress at Detroit (when aooeding to *
Mr.Soherer's request for retirement — whereby he bo- *
comes a worthy successor to Howard S.Payson and Henry *
* W.Hetsel, who, after their respective presidencies,  *
* were affectionate ry remembered as "Honorary Presidents")*
* was indeed most fortunate in being able to eleot, unan-
* imously, as the next President for the Esperanto Asso-*
* elation of North America, a man of so fine personality*
** and endowments as Dr.Cecil Stookard, an eye specialist*
*   fPhbtot Underwood A Underwood) of Bradenton, Florida.  To those who have attended *
* any of the oongresses of SANA from 1937 to date, Dr.Stookard is already a familiar and *
* well loved figure. A native of Mississippi, who lived several decades in Atlanta,Ga., *
* before moving to Florida, he is a man who has traveled frequently and extensively thru *
* all sections of the country, north and south. Thoroughly cosmopolitan in sympathy and!»
» and outlook, coming from an American family of two hundred years establishment but de- *
* voted to the peaceful and fraternal integration of all the peoples of the world,he sees*
* in Esperanto one of the potent solvents through whioh the harmonious inter-adjustment *
» of mankind may be advanced toward realisation. His loyalty toward Esperanto is of long *
* standing.                                                                                                                                                                     *
*    One of the active Esperantists in an Atlantic seaboard city, when hearing of this *
* eleotion through a letter from Detroit, replied by return mail, "The Esperantists are *
* surely to be congratulated on securing so fine a man as Dr.Stookard for President. Long*
* may he lead usJ"                                                                                                                                                      *
*    Attendants at reoent oongresses have had a chance to observe that, as an entertain- *
* ing side line, Dr.Stookard is an amateur magician of no mean ability, one wh* is clever*
* in reaching his hand into empty hats and drawing "ytth  therefrom such objeots as ropes,*
* bandanna handkerehiefs, and Amerioan flags.  Henceforth it is our hope thab-with aid of*
* loyal collaboration in the persons of all the rest of us — he may be equally success- *
* ful in reaching into places where no Esperantists now exists, and in drawing forth a  *
* cro© of new "gesamideanoj," all quite alive and "ready to go"*                                                    *

All those whose good fortune it was to reaoh our 1942wKomgresa Urbo" (in scu-e *
of the many difficulties imposed by gas-and-tire restrictions and by employ-  *
ing agencies which now must refuse vacation permits) enjoyed a most delightful *
and never to be forgotten time. Naturally we all missed the absent faces of many who  *
would have been present if travel and working conditions had been normal. Had it not  *
been for the limitations on auto travel, we had assurance that at least one party by pri-#
vate oar would have reached the congress from California under the driving hands of Jos. *
R.Soberer and Mrs.Helen Soherer (edzino). The Atlantic coast, though so much nearer,   #
proved to be too distant for most of those who generally come to the congresses. In fact #
the only "kengresano" from farther east than Washington, D.C., was Mrs. Cora L.Fellows,
of Port Richmond, N.Y.  On the other hand, the attendance from the near by states of Chio
and Michigan was supplemented by congress members from as far south-east as Florida,
from as far north-west as North Dakota, from as far south-west as Oklahoma, Arkansas and
southern Texas.
The looal Congress Committee expressed itself as well pleased with the attendance, *
being larger than they at one time had anticipated. And at the banquet Mr. Robert L. *
Davis, as secretary of the looal committee, gave sincere pleasure to all by announoing *
that the congress had been so economically conducted as to result in a substantial fin- #
anoial surplus,— one which the SANA treasury will find moat grateful, to help avoiding «
red ink in the usually lean months of the late summer. A dateraining factor in producing»
this profit in the congress treasury wms the fourteen Esperantists, not personally able #
to be present, who registered as members of the congress ia absentia^. Congress badges *
were made out in their mates and fattened to bulletin board" ia the room ol assembly, as #
a visible reminder that those absent ones were with us in spirit and in financial support^

On Wednesday evening, July 1, occurred a get-together social for all who had thus far *
arrived. Friendly chat flowed from lip to lip;"America" and "La Espero" were sung in *
the native language of Bsperantujo. and Dr.Steokard displayed a fine assortment «f the *
magic tricks for which his skillful hands are famous. Most of those present agreed with *
the Dootor in his choice of favorites, when ho said the mystifying feat he likes best is »
the juggling with eight solid brass rings, which were seen to link themselves together »
in festoons or to coma apart into; separata rings under his magio touch.                                   »
Thursday morning, July 2,the first official meeting was «ailed to order by Joseph R. #
Murray, chairman of the L0K0K0, who introduced the bearers of Detroit's welcome, namely, #
J.Lee Barrett of the Detroit Convention Bureau, Mr.Halley from the Mayor's office, and  #
Mr.Fred D.Lomg representing the management of the Hotel Detroit-Lsland. Mr.E.G.Dodge of #
the Exeoutive Committee was then called to the chair long eneugh to entertain a motion
whereby, in the absemee of the national President and Vice-President, Dr Ceoil Stockard
was made protempere president, for the duration of the congress. The rest of the first
session was given over to reading of annual reports and to appointment of committees, to
report at the closing session of the congress. These Committees were; Coram, on Nomina-  *
tions: Anmin F.Doneio of Texas, Chairman; Mrs.Luella K.Beeoher of Lima., Ohio; and Mrs. *
Clara J.Walter of Detroit»  Conm. on proposed constitutional amendment: Joseph H.Murray *
of Detroit, Chairman; 'William Vathis of Cleveland, Ohio; Mrs.Augusta C.Leramer of Perrys- *
villa, Ohio. Comm. on Resolutions; Mr.Edwin Sievers of Detroit, Chairman; Mrs. Cora L.  *
Fell®ws of New York; Mrs.Rita Beukema Muss of Grand Forks, N.Dakota.                                          #
Thursday noon there occurred a very enjoyable affair in the shape of a oongress lunch-»
eon, served in a room of the hotel just across the hall. The members were all seated «
at large round tables, serving ten persons each. So the chat could flow either to left *
or to right, or across the table at pleasure. After chairs were drawn away from tables #
a short "Fakkunsido" was presided over by Joseph H.Murray and participated in by various »
members, the topi» beimg, how to make looal olub meetings interesting on the social side. «
The rest of Thursday afternoon was left unoccupied by formal engagement. But most of *.
th® out-of-town kongrosar.03 went under local guidance to visit the hug© publishing plant „
of the Detroit News, and then ascended to the 48th floor roof-platform of the Penobscot *
building, the highest in Detroit. Nature favored us with a cool and clear day, giving a #
finfl_view of the city at our feet, with its main thoroughfares spreading out fan-wise ,

* carried the eye across the wide Detroit River into Canada; and we were reminded that Det-*

* the view took in the city's wooded park on Belle Isle, and Lake St.Clair beyond.       *

* of the congress program is given later, under its own heading.                                                  *

* H.Murray of the local committee.'—- See in later page description of this oooasion.    *
■*   Saturday, July 4, heard the gavel of official adjournment at about 12 o'olook noon.   *.
* Those having special responsibilities used the afternoon for a meeting of the new Exeou- *
* tive Committee and other committee meetings. Meanwhile,members from a oistance "not-other-
* wise employed were taken by local members for an informal further excursion in the city. *
*   Seven o'olook Saturday evening found sixty-eight happy participants seated at one long*
* T-shaped table for the "Festmanĝo,"the last regularly scheduled event of the congress.  *
* Several members of the oongress had unfortunately been compelled to leave for their homes*
* before this. But their places at table were filled by several Esperantists and their fri-
* ends who had not been able to attend the earlier events. When this closing banquet had *
* been followed by an hour of informal mingling and chat, with the saying of good-byes, the*
* Thirty-Fifth Congress of EANA passed from the stage of aotion into happy memory. However,*
* for a limited number of the out of town members there came an opportunity on Sunday«July *

*   The report of the retiring President, Joseph R.Soherer, was read by a member of the  *
* congress committee, Mrs.Clara J.Walter of Detroit. This report is printed in full on an-*

*    The Executive Committee, through its chairman, E.G.Dodge of Washington City, reported *
* that the committee has performed its constitutional duties in selecting other committees,*
* in accepting the invitation of the Detroit Esperantists to meet in their city for this *
* year's congress, and in maintaining through the year a general oversight on the affairs *
* of the association.  It also had taken upon itself, for the time being, the funotions of *
* the Committee on Publications.  Communication and cooperation with the samideanoj in    *
* other countries, particularly South America, had been fostered so far as possible, yet  *
* not without appreciable curtailment due to the war and the inoreased slowness of oismunril-*
* oations. The bulk of the committee's report was given over to a plea to members of the *
.'.'-'* association, and others who should be members, to give the organisation and the movement *
* their continued most prompt and loyal support, financially and otherwise.                              *
*   The Treasurer of the Association, Mr.William Plampin of Washington, had made all plans*
.* to be present and was most disappointed that the War Department oould not give him leave *
* of absence for the purpose. His report was read by his predecessor in offioe, Mrs.Clara *
* J.Walter, formerly of Washington but now of Detroit. The report showed a small balance *
* in the treasury, general funds of Sixty-Four Dollars and Seventy-Five Cents, on May 31,  *
'* 1942, slightly more than a year earlier. This seeming improvement, however, does not mean*
* what on the surface it would appear to signify; for in the autumn of 1941 the Exeoutive *
* Committee had been compelled to transfer into the ourrent funds $60 out of the f.110 previ-
.* ously reposing in a semi-untouchable speoial fund (established in 1937) whioh is never to*
* be drawn upon without special action of the Estraro for emergency reasons.                            *
*   The report of the Finance Committee had been prepared by its chairman, Armin F.Doneis *
* of Pharr, Texas. Mr.Donais, though present, requested the report be read by Dr.Stookard, *
. * another member of the committee.  The report laid stress on the finanoial needs of the *
* association, and showed how continued functioning on the present economical scale has   *
* been possible only through the generous aid"of certain members who have continued year  *

* ($10 a year) or as Subtenantoj ($5 a year). The radical solution would be a really large»
* inorease in the regular paid up and active membership of the association. Until an ade-*

*     The finance reports you have just heard indicate no immediate necessity for red ink.*
* But we are far, far from being self-supporting — had it not been for the generosity of *
a few members in the Patrono and Subtenanto classes, who contributed nearly $300.00 the *
* association would be wallowing in red ink. We need at least 1000 members to be out of *
* the beggar column. If each member would enlist even one new member (new ones doing like-»
* wise) we would soon be self-supporting. I have found many coinciding with me in this,  #
* but each of them -think*'its the other fellow's job," The Honor Roll of Patrono and Sub- •
* tenanto for the year ending May 31st has 36 names. $10 makes you a Patrono and $5 a Sub-*
* tenanto—includes membership in SANA and the American Esperantist for" one year from date*
* on your card. The examples set by the Esperanto Society of Detroit,and Esp. Society of *
* Mew York Is worth emulating—members contribute small amounts to make up total, instead *
* of individuals doing it all. We have added 40 new members during the year — President ,*
* Joseph R.Scherer sending in 6; Mrs.E.E.Smith of Elmira, N.Y., Mr.Robert L.Davis*, Detroit*
* and Mr.Henry I.Hagin, Brooklyn, N.Y., 2 each; nine others sent in one each; the balance *
* coaxed in by the offioe typewriter. But we don't hold them, many join out of curiosity, *
* but the main difficulty is that human nature is what it is— the average man suffering *
* from the "Gimmies", always wanting to know "what do I get for my money,tw(well, that's *
* business, and we are more or less idealists) When told that we are working for the fut- *
* ure-for posterity, the invariable comeback is "What do I ears for posterity-what's it  *
* ever done for me.?"About the only clearly understandable answer to that is that "poster-*

*     Many have the idea that because Hitler has hung ths verboten sign on every/thing (in-*
* eluding languages) not purely German, that the Esperanto movement is irrevoeably dee- *
* troyed.Mot at all. As a matter of faet, Esperanto does not seem to be in nearly as muoh *
* danger of extinction as it was during the 1914-18 war period. England shows greater in- *
* crease in membership than in several years. Many other countries going strong—Bratil  *
* is publishing new Esperanto books quite frequently. Egypt, Palestine, Denmark, and even *
* France (very muoh down-trodden) are showing considerable activity. Our own offioe is get-
* ting many requests for information rsi Esperanto, and orders for small textbooks, from *
» men in -the armed services, from all parts of the world* Several Esperanto classes are  •
* functioning in the Aviation service (so they oan interview the Jap prisoners). Japan and*
» China vie with each other in telling the world (via Baperanto)how wioked the other is. *
*    As long as the SANA offioe is looated in Washington—which is now considered the world
* Center—it will be considered the world information bureau. Inquiries come from all parts
» of the world, and for about everything imaginable; many from non-Esperantists, and tho' *

* doubt thinks his query will take but a few minutes, we try to answer all, although some *
* take hours -*■ if we failed to answer one, that one may have been a potential customer, *
* or a new member. Several non-Esperantists thanked us later with orders for books, and a *
* few became members. In the early days of our incumbency several old members, long in  *
* arrears, wrote that they would reinstate if we would consider them as continuous members*
* — even though they oould not afford to pay up arrearages.  Desperate oases call for   *
* desperate remedies, and under the then circumstances, we decided to take them in (well *
* aware that it was not business) and to treat others likewise until we attained more solid
* footing. Of course all are aware that when a member lapses, unless dropped at onee, he *
* becomes a liability, and some one else has to pay for any free service he gets from the *
* Central Offioe. Henceforth due dates will be observed—member being notified last month*
* of membership.   Mr.Doneis' handling of the Finance Committee has been most commendable*
* He oalls attention to the neoessity of serious thinking and energetic action to obviate »
.* the neoessity of using the reserve fund or calling for extra contributions. He mentions*
* " rate raising "as an alternative, but we think that is hardly feasible at this time— *
* too many oalls for money,-and the last'raise* in 1935, though only 50 cents, brought out*

* a few squawks of "extortion" and "graft", also a few dropped out. In the past we hare *
* had considerable criticism (we like criticism, because then we know that we are being  *
* noticed) and in several cases we felt that by appointing the critic to a committee in  *
* lino with his Indioated abilities the association would benefit. Wrong, it merely stop- *
* ped his noise. Putting some people in line for a little responsibility renders them use-
* less. We have lost some very good helpers by having them appointed, or elected, to some *
* office—they've been advertised as having "done something", achieved honors, and now ean*
* rest on their laurels.    The Esperanto Society of Oklahoma City entertained the 34th *
* congress in a most unforgettable manner, and all who attended enjoyed it immensely. Mem-*
* bers of several tribes of Indians played a big part.   We cannot expeot anything along *
* that line in the East. The Oklahoma group are the most alive of any in the country— *
* the Elmira.N.Y., group are close followers.  The Bostonians had dreams of entertaining *
* the ?943 congress, but Hitler's submarines in the Atlantic banished those dreams.     *
*  We frequently get complaints of "I did not get my paper, what's the matter, my dues are*
* paid?". Usually in the same mail, or soon after, their paper is returned, stamped "moved*
* no address". Duplication means an extra 3 cents. Not much occasionally, but mounts up *
* in a year.   Very often our attention is called to an article about Esperanto in soma *

* there are many "Digests". Clippings also without name of paper, dab» or plaee.Tee"" «ire  *

* such demands—nor is the sek., always available to search the newsstands. Do not make  *
* notes with pen or pencil on the reading matter of clippings-they do not photograph well.*
*   Our stand on the subject of "Peacq," "Pacifists" etc., in the March issue, was taken be-
* cause there seemed no other way to stop the flow of articles on those subjects which had*
* constantly poured into the offioe for several years. Had we published one we would have *
* opened the door for a flood of controversy—and that has no place in our little paper. »
*   Some members want the "Esperantist" all Esperanto, others, all English, others, both »

'■"*"'"   The report of the Committee on Examinations (by Professor Edwin L.Clarke of Rollins  *
* College, Winter Park, Fla.,) was read by Mr.A.F.Korrek of Detroit. Fewer persons have  *
* taken the examination the past year than in other years. This led to a suggestion that *
****vthe\ex'anblhati6n*fee might be dispensed with in case of paid-up active members of E.A.N.A»*
* but the congress, after discussion, rejeoted the proposal. The trouble lies not in the *
* very modest fees ($1 for each of the first two examinations and #2 for the examination  *
* as teachers) but in general failure to fully appreciate the value of the official examin-»
* ations and certificates given by EANA. Local clubs and isolated members were urged to *
* spread abroad in their localities a more general acquaintance with the examinations, to *
* the end that more persons may see the desirability of securing for themselves these mile-*
* stones of progress, and of making whatever advanoe study may be necessary to fit them for*
* examination.                                                                                                                                                               *
*    Mr.C.H.Hunter of Oklahoma City, who could not personally come to Detroit, has been in *
* charge for a second year of the Limerick Contest, wherein eaoh contestant for the small *
* prises invents the closing line for a Limerick relating to the usefulness of Esperanto.  *
* The number of registered contestants-, though mounting somewhat into the hundreds, was  *
* smaller the second year than the first, partly no doubt because of the war time distraor *
* tions; and the contest was oarried through without any resort to red ink only by drawing *
* upon a surplus left over in the hands of the oommittee from the year previous. Although *
* the two contests have not brought new members to EANA, they have undoubtedly been well  *
* worth while, through bringing the idea of Esperanto and of its utility to the thoughts of*
* many thousands of readers.                                                                                                                                  *
*    No general report could be read from a committee on Esperanto in Schools, since the *
* conditions the past year have really been prohibitive. But one member of oommittee, Miss *
* Rayburn Oklahoma Ciy, sketched the history of the three year campaign by which the teach***
* ing of Esperanto in certain public schools of that city was brought about. (See p»g**B • ) **
*    Capt. F.A.Postnikov of Little Rook, Ark., presented a report as Director of Verd-Stela**
* Gefrataro, a plan for promoting correspondence among groups composed of 5 Esperantists       **
* each. Captain Post reoommended that this activity be suspended while the present emer-    *"
* genqy continues, and that plans for modifying the rules and adapting the idea to revived  *
* activity after the war be left to a committee"of younger workers.                                                  *
*    The Esperanto-Rondo de Libroleganto.1 was reported on by the Director, Mrs.Frances   ***
* McDowell of 1416 Allison St., N-W., Washington, D.C. The report was read by Mr .William *
* Vathis of Cleveland, who has twice added a new star to his membership card the past year.*
* Dp to date 74 persons in all have registered with the Librolegantoj, of whom 17 were new **
* in the Dast year. Also within the year 8 of the earlier members have raised their rating *
* and added one or two new stars to their cards by new reading in the required amounts.   *
* There are now 5 members who rate as "Oksteluloj" through having read more than 15,000   *
* pages of Esperanto literature. A new, or nine-star grade has been established, to be   *
* awarded to any who will have read more than 20,000 pages. Mr.Louis Dormont (who in faot *
* has read over 30,000 pages) is as yet the only member qualified for the 9-star grcHs, but*
* it is not believed that he will not be loft alone in that grade for long.                                  *
*     Report of Membership Committee was road by the chairman, Armin F.Doneis of Texas. The*
* urgent need of new members was stressed, as well as the need for keeping alive the inter-*
* esit of former or delinquent members. The oommittee in the past year has worked ohiefly *
* on the second phase of the problem, but hopes in the coming year to concentrate on the  *
* enlisting of new members.  An active local helper will be recruited to work in eaoh com-,*
* mumity where it is possible to secure such.                                                                                               *

*   The Book Rental Service of SANA reported through its manager, Mr. E.G.Dodge (of 1471 *
* Irving St., N-W., Washington, D.C.) What was started as an experiment has become ah est- *
* ablished fact through the interest shown by readers, and through the generous donations *
* of additional books by various members,— especially Dr. G.P.Ferree of Chenoa, 111. When *
* books and booklets added since the May Amerika Bsperantisto shall be announced in a sup- *
* plementary list, the users of the Rental Service will be able to select from among approx-
* imately 135 books and 60 booklets — the latter being rented in groups of 5 booklets each*
* Miss Ann.E.Beatty of Cardington, Ohio (who on July 15 1942 became 85 years old, but *
* "still young,") has set a phenominal reoord by drawing already from the rental service  *
* no less than 28 Esperanto booksJ No other reader is even within "long touching distance"»
» of that reoord; yet there are a number who are using the Rental Service with pleasure and*
* profit. The four who follow after Miss Beatty have drawn 8,8,5 and 4 books respectively. *
*    fht  0c*i?3f tt»e on Cseh-Method Instruction has been quiescent the past year.  But the *
* Chairman, Miss Roan U.Orloff of Boston, (Hotel Canterbury, 14 Charlesgate West,)sent a  *
* report regarding lesson material on hand and money derived from past sales, which became *
* a subjeot for action at a business session of the congress. Miss Orloff for the next  *
* year has been appointed Custodian of Cseh-Method Material. She still has in her possess-*

*   The three "Aferkunsidoj" could perhaps be desoribed as more informative than Ipgisla- *
* tive, so much time being given to reports of past activities and informal discussion of *
* plans for the future. Among the matters leading to definite vote, (in addition to those *
* already referred to,) the following are,of general interest to the membership. Mrs.Rita *
* Beukema Nuss of Grand Forks, N.Dakota, read part of a letter from Mr.George A.Connor of *
* New York, oalling attention to the present summer number of the leading magazine devoted *
* to inter-American relations,- "The Pan-Amerioan" 103 Park Avenue, New York City—issue of*
* July-August-September, prioe 25 cents. It contains a three-page article on Esperanto for *
* inter-American uses, written by Mr.Connor and his niece, Miss Doris Tappan. The Congress *
* voted its warm approval of this and all similar or allied efforts to propagate Esperanto *
>ai a means for close acquaintance among the Americas. Members and their friends at home
* ars urged to purchase copies ol" the issue containing the article Dy «ar. Connor ana Jriss **
* Tappan, by sending 25/ directly to the publishers—always remembering to state that they *
* are ordering this number because of- interest in Esperanto (See address above.)                       *
*     A letter from Miss Roan U.Orloff calls attention to radio station WRUL in Boston,   *
* which will soon be the highest powered short wave station in the western hemisphere. Saai-
* deanoj in Brazil and other South American countries have already written WRUL, urging   *
* that they make some use of Esperanto in their broadcasts to foreign countries. It was *
*  deoided that a suitable appeal in the name of EANA be prepared and sent to the station. *
* In event of favorable action, EANA will stand ready to offer continuing assistance, thru *
» translating broadcast material or otherwise.                                                                                            *
*    An amendment to the constitution of EANA was adopted, which will render legal the omis-
* sion of an annual congress, if oonditions of travel during the war emergsnoy should become
* worse than at present. (See page 7.)                                                                                                             *

* Joseph Leahy, Washington, D.C.,( re-elected regularly sinoe 1934.) For Assistant Secret-  *

* by several members. A few words by Mrs. Edna Sigel, brought up several members with stor-*
* ies of the good things her father, the late beloved Dr.Sigel, had done for them. A touch*
* of sadness was occasioned in the minds of members who had attened the 1936 Congress held *
* in Detroit, recalling the names of happy participants in that event, who had passed on  *
* since.— Sam Eby, Harry Hetzel, Dr.Sigel, Rev.John Fazel, all giants in the cause .     *
*                                                                              *
*         A motion was unanimously approved to send an autographed letter to the Brothers *
* Charles B (Vioe-President EANA) and Edgar H. Simon, now serving in the USA armed forces*
* ( as it was near lunch time, several members had left-so we only got a page full (page 10)
*                                                                              *
*        Announcement was made of a week (August 1st to 9th)of intensive study of Esperanto *
* — free — for Beginners and Advanced students, to be given by Mrs.Etty Graeffe, (E.A.N.A*
* member from Chicago,) at the Baha'i Summer Sohool, Louhelen Ranch, Davison (near Flint)  *
* Michigan.  Fine accomodations, low rates, interesting people and beautiful country.     *

*   ESPERANTO WEEK. The Elmira (N.Y) Esperanto Club had one of their own. With Mrs. Eliza *
* Emery Smith, leading, they started the week of June 22 with Piano, Flute, Accordion, and *
» Violin solos, talks, recitations and games of various kinds—some original. Mr. E.E. Bill-
* ings composed a propaganda sketch (and it was gopd-is) which was most creditably rendered*
* by Bonaventure Grey and Hyman Etkind. Oh yes, refreshments were always on tap. "        *
*    Mr. Billings also printed a beautiful little four page folder, with "Espero" in both *
* Esperanto and English, short outline of "Espero" on the back, and photograph of Dr. L.L. *
* Zamenhof on the front. Mrs. Smith believes in keeping 'em interested-and does, via the  *
* mebhod adopted for  their Esperanto Week. She insists on prompt attendance—otherwise the *
* person irregular in attendance must join EANA—a most happy alternative. Results: good  *
* attendance-and an occasional member for EANA.  VIVU S-ino Smith kay Elmira Bsperantistoj *

A short rain shower caused all to seek shelter inside the Institute. And there
the folks had an opportunity of showing their knowledge (or laok) of Astronomy, Geology,
Minerology, etc.. The Planitarium was the star (millions of 'em) attraction, with each
person pointing out their favorite planet or planets. The collection of Minerals here
displayed is the finest to be found—not in size, but in variety and quality.
On the return trip» to the city some of the oars got lost on side roads, Lut it is
always easy to find some one who oould direct you to Woodward Avenue, which roaches out
36 miles, through DetroUt and the Motor faotories locations, and some stopped at Father
Coughlin's Churoh, and the Zoo at Royal Oak. This Zoo is unique in not having fenoes or
pens. Different groups of animals are surrounded by moats (ditches, if in doubt) filled
with water. The diving raonkeys always had the biggest crowds watching them.

Hope Lies.In Esperanto
To thus Editor of the Miami Dally News: t'lf'fy
Your correspondent opposes a compul-
sory teaching of Spanish proposed by
someone as a universal' language, and
rightly so. A universal language cannot
be imposed by law; and Spanish is
scarcely more, suitable and only slightly
less difficult than English.
Latin has been the international lan-
guage of scientists; French the language
of diplomacy; and English the language
of international trade. Where the dol-
lar talks, it speaks English.
There was no easily learned tongue
available for all the people until the
advent of Esperanto, which has become
the accepted world-wide auxiliary lan-
guage.    Many international technical and
lay societies have adopted it for its clar-
ity and simplicity and journals by the
hundreds have been printed. The Inter-
national Esperanto League maintains
headquarters at London and tne Ameri-
can Association at Washington, D. C.
These publish a year book listing, the
names and addresses of persons familiar
with Esperanto covering every part of
the world.
A study of several proposed interna-
tional languages made at Columbia Uni-
versity favored Esperanto. These author-
ities also found that the study of Esper-
anto made the learning of any other lan-
guage more easy.
Before the World war, and without an
expert knowledge of Esperanto, I found
it easy to carry on correspondence in
widely seatlered areas:   A  Boor in Capc-
«
********    *******
town, a lawyer in Brazil, a dentist with *
an unpronounceable name from an unpro- »
nounceable Balkan village, a school child
in Japan leading to an interchange of *
drawings with school children in the U. S,, *
an economist in China, a Loyalist in
Cordova, and a student in Russia.
America must not only win the war,
but it must win the peace. In this effort »
Esperanto may prove more than a useful
medium for exchange of expression. Its
root springs from the word "hope." It
facilitates contact between people of all
lands who have the same ideals and aims
—a better understanding' of their fellow
men, and the hope of promoting a mora
universal brotherhood.
