ESPERANTtST VOL. 63B - NO.l B U L L E T I N MAY-JUNE, 1948 Looking Forward ! This first issue of THE AMERICAN ESPERANTIST BULLETIN re- presents a new phase in the expansion of the Esperanto Assoc- iation of North America.There has long been felt the need for coordinated activities within the organization.We hope that this Bulletin will help to satisfy the need by keeping membert informed of ourrent Esperanto events. The main purpose of the Bulletin will be to present mater- ial of immediate interest to you, particularly news of your clubs and your aotivities so that eaoh member may keep advised of the latest developments in the movement. Perhaps we can aid by bringing you notes of new classes, how they were formed how clubs are organized, in short, what is being done in the Esperanto World. In this way we hope to stimulate membership, promote olubs, and help initiate and maintain new classes. In this Bulletin we also hope to give some publio acolaim to the many people who are devoting their time and energies to the furtherance of Esperanto, not in the Central Office, not in the outside world, but in each and every oommuhity. We hope therefore, that this publication will serve as an information service and an up-to-date chronicle of Esperanto activity in North America. While doing this perhaps we can also provide pleasure for our readers and friends, for we do hope to amuse as well as inform. This will occur only when we have space for laughter as well as sobriety. In this issue we have devoted our pages to presenting the news that has been patiently awaited by our members. Hews of Mrs. Isbruoker's tour, news of the ooming Toronto Congress, and news of the aotivities of the looal branches of the organ- ization. If you feel as we do, that this Bulletin can be the in - strument of regular dissemination of ourrent news, then we can proceed with your help, to grow and expand. With the knowledge that eaoh of you will do all you oan to make this Bulletin just what you want, we expect to or- ganize a system whereby every Esperanto friend is an Esper- anto reporter. We want to hear from you. We want to know what you are doing. In the near future wo will establish regular correspondence with the Esperanto olubs throughout the United States and Canada. We will ask that Bulletin representatives be elected or appointed from each club, and that they oolleot and send U3 news of their olubs' aotivities regularly. As you see, we have set aside one page devoted exclusively to YOU. In the next issue we will discuss our plan in detail, and outline the method we propose to keep your Bulletin vitally alive with up-to-the minute news. We hope that we will be able to watch the growth' of "nia kara lingvo1' in these pages. Book Premium for New Membership Responses to tha Book Premium Offer for renewals and new members are most enoouraging. New memberships in EANA are coming in now from students and others who want the new book, "ESPERANTO: - THE WORLD INTERL«lGUAGE",as an aid in studying Esperanto and the Interlanguage Movement.lt is suggested that we organize a cempaign for new members,utilizing this oppor- tunity to very greatly increase our EANA memberships. Therefore,anyone who now joins EANA for the calendar year 19Ŭ8 (Minimum membership $3. Sustaining S3, Patron $10) will receive full membership rights and privileges, plus the Pre- mium Book, plus Bulletins and American Esperantist as issued during the year 19bB. Here is a way to strengthen your EANA. When you receive your book, show it to your friends and ac- quaintances, tell them of this generous offer, ask them for membership dues on the spot, send in the amounts collected, sent immediately to new members. Your efforts, along with others, will be announced in the official organ of EANA. ,^39thlE A N A ^Congress The Toronto Esperanto Club will be host to the 3cVbu Annual Congress of EANA beginning the night of July 2, and extending through July 3, 4. and 5- Headquarters will bo at the Hotel Selby, where rooms may be secured for those who send in res- ervations early. This 19Ŭ8 Congress promises to be the most important and the most gala affair for Esperanto since the World War. The Toronto Esperanto Club is a wide-awake and progress- ive organization, with officers and members who are leaving no stone unturned in their plans for an effective and joyful Congress. Mr. W.D.B. Haokett, Secretary, labors unoeasingly to perfeot the plans. Miss Olive Latimer deserves great credit also, and every member of the group in the Congress city is assisting this grand effort. Toronto is beautifully situated on the north shore of Lake Ontario. It has the finest in natural scenery, publio parks, modern oonstruotion, and is well named "The Queen City of Canada". It also rates high in entertainment, from theaters to moonlight cruises on the lake. No better location oould be found in all Amerioa for our Esperanto Congress - and it is hoped that a large number of both our Canadian and Usonian Esperantists will be there to plan for tremendous progress in the years ahead. Canadian members should make a special effort to attend the Congress.

Well, Judge from this item, sent in by David B. Erioson, a geologist at Columbia Univer- sity. It seems that Mr. Erioson and other geologists at Co- lumbia were interested in an artiole by the Norwegian geolo- gist, Brogger. It had been quoted briefly by various English authors, but no oomplete English translation was available. So a letter was sent to Dr. C. Stop-Bowitz,Curator of the Zo- ological Museum,0slo,asking if he knew of anyone who oould translate the artiole into Esperanto.Dr. Stop-Bowitz himself translated the artiole whioh contained a quantity of impor- tant data on a perplexing problem in geology.Though the sub- jeot matter involved dealt with very speoial terminology of glacial geology and zoology, thanks to the wonderful flexi- bility of Esperanto, the Columbia University geologists have a very olear.exaot and reliable translation of a highly teoh- nical artiole. ***** DAILY ESPERANTO BROADCASTS FROM PARIS I Last Deoember the official Frenoh radio announced the broadcasting of Esperanto programs from Paris on short wave,audible in the entire world< They are broadcast daily 17»15 - 17'3° Greenwioh time.

Successful Lecture Tour Julia Isbruoker, world-known Esperantist, arrived in New York on the evening of Deoember J>r&, The very next day she officially started her lecture tour with a talk and Cseh-les- son presentation at Columbia University. There were a number of leoture engagements in New York and environs during Deoember. She showed her Esperanto films on the Reconstruction of the Netherlands before the Esperanto Societies in New York and participated in many interviews with important groups. She left New York for Yale University and New Haven, Conneotiout on the 3rd of January. Her talk at Yale was sponsored by the looal World Federalists and In- ternational Relations Clubs, under the oompetent management of Ralph Lewin, a graduate student from England and a fine Esperantist. Thanks to the interest and energetic help of Mrs. J. Harold Steed of Orange, Conn., she presented talks on Esperanto, and the Netherlands before Veterans' groups «Women's Clubs, Soroptimist Club and the Bahai group. Meanwhile, in Washington,D.C..under the very able leader- ship of S.B.Burdette.a round of activities was arranged from January 15 to 20. Her sohedule ran like an express train» a radio interview over Station WTOP-CBS, acceptance at the Netherlands Embassy, newspaper interviews, guest speaker be- fore the Reciprocity Club, National League of American Pen- women.Exeoutives Club,Unitarian Churoh and Bahai Association. Mrs. Isbruoker then went to Vineland,N.J.where Mrs.Angela Alfaroli,indefatigable worker for Esperanto, and Mrs.George E. Bass, prominent leader in Bridgeton.had arranged lectures in three high schools,Rotary Club.Exohange Club,The Training Sohool, and young people's Churoh groups. There was a brief stop in Philadelphia to present Esper- anto before the looal Soroptimist Club.(The Soroptimists are the feminine counterpart of the Rotary Clubs, and are thus very influential in their communities.) Throughout the tour she met a fine spirit of hospitality and cooperation.She wanted very much to visit other parts of the United States and Canada,but her time was limited and it was necessary for her to be back in the Netherlands by Febru- ary 10. In summing up her general impressions gained in her promotion work for Esperanto in the United States, she said: Everywhere it seemed to me that I found the greatest inter- est in Esperanto. In fact I was greatly surprised. The United States and Canada are wonderful new fields for Esperanto. I am oonvinoed that a fine Esperanto movement oan flower in this new earth, but to accomplish the task you will need a well- equipped, well-staffed Central Offioe. We are sincerely thankful to Julia Isbruoker for her gen- erous spirit of help,and for her unselfish devotion and sac- rifice to the work for Esperanto in the New World as well as the Old.We also wish to thank the following people for help- ing to make the tour a success» Mrs. A. V. Albert, Angela Alfaroli,Mrs, George Bass,S.B.Burdette,Parley P. Christensen, E.G.Dodge, Mr. and Mrs.A.J.Emery, Joseph Girard, Ralph Lewin, Mrs. Graoe MoDowell, Miss Mazah Sohulz,Herbert Smart,Lillian Stead, New York Esperanto Clubs, Washington Esperanto Club. Our thanks also to those Esperantists in the West who so gen- erously offered hospitality and help,even though Mrs.Isbruok- er oould not visit them.

THIS book by the distinguished British archaeologist and oriental- ist, is one of the most important works of real scholarship published in this century. Historians and literary scholars, as well as others interested in the story of human progress, will find this work of great value. Dr. Marcus N. Tod, the eminent Greek epigraphist of Oxford University, writes that the author's " learning and scope fill me with amazement." The main text is divided into two parts, the first of which deals with non-alphabetic systems of writing over the whole world. The second part deals with the alphabets that have been or still are in use all over the world. CONTENTS Firsl Part NON-ALPHABETIC SYSTEMS OF VvTUTlNG I. Cuneiform Writing II.
