D. Extracts from the opening address delivered at the 44th Annual Congress of EANA, New York City, Saturday, June 19, 1954. Representatives of almost all of the world's governments will discuss the aims and claims of Esperanto as a neutral, practical, and easy-to- learn world interlanguage at the General Conference of UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), at Montevideo, Uruguay, next November and December. Dr. Luther H. Evans, Director General of UNESCO and former Librarian of Congress, will pre- sent a report based on information and suggestions received from the vari- ous governments, including the State Department in Washington. The inquiry was initiated by a vote of the UNESCO General Confer- ence in Paris, in December 1952, which acted in response to a petition in favor of Esperanto signed by organizations with a combined member- ship of 15% million people and by 895,432 individuals including the Pre- sident of France, four European Prime Ministers, and many persons prom- inent in science, education, religion, literature, politics, business, and non-governmental organizations. At the Montevideo Conference, the claims of Esperanto will be sup- ported by several governments, among them the Austrian government, which has recently issued a new postage stamp in honor of the Esper- anto movement and has declared its willingness to sponsor an interna- tional agreement on the gradual introduction of Esperanto into the schools. There will also be considerable opposition at Montevideo, however, for instance, from the Soviet Government, which has joined UNESCO only in the recent past. In Russia and other iron curtain countries, Esperanto organizations and publications are forbidden. The last Esperanto maga- zine published in the Moscow-controlled part of the world disappeared re- cently when El Popola Cinio was discontinued in Peking, the capital of Red China. It was filled with Communist and anti-American propaganda, and insufficient zeal and lack of marxist orthodoxy cannot possibly have been a reason for the Mao Tse-tung regime's decision to kill it. Appar- ently, in China as well as in other iron curtain and bamboo curtain coun- tries, Esperanto has become taboo because it enables ordinary people to correspond with friends in the outside world, thus endangering the iso- lation in which the Red rulers hold their unfortunate subjects. Outside the iron curtain, Esperanto has made encouraging progress during the past year. The interlanguage is now taught in approximately 630 schools throughout the world, including 25 in the United States. Books in and about Esperanto now total more than 8,000, and there are about 95 Esperanto periodicals. Esperanto articles and summaries 49 have appeared in many scholarly periodicals and publications throughout the world. Governments are increasingly taking an interest in Esperanto as a means of promoting travel and of spreading information. The Netherlands Government has just completed a motion picture in Esperanto, following the example of the Australian Government's film Aŭstralio Hodiaŭ, for which Mr. G. Alan Connor, General Secretary of the Esperanto Associ- ation of North America, has voiced the commentary. During an overseas trip last summer I was able to use Esperanto in about a dozen different countries and to experience once more the ease and precision with which the interlanguage can be used and the practical services which it renders to those who wish to break through the lan- guage barrier in international communications. Irish Lassie Sings in Esperanto at the Congress Festival 50 THE ESPERANTO ASSOCIATION OF NORTH AMERICA, INC. ANNUAL REPORTS Presented to the Members on the Occasion of the 44th Annual Congress of EANA in New York, June 18-21, 19S4 REPORT OF THE GENERAL SECRETARY Fellow-members and colleagues in the work for "Esperanto in Amer- ica": This 44th Annual Congress of EANA officially antedates the 50th year of existence for the Esperanto Association of North America. It was on March 23rd, 1905, that the "American Esperanto Association" was founded in Boston, Massachusetts. At first this Association was little more than an adjunct of the Boston Esperanto Society, but within a few months local affiliated clubs sprang up in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago, to be followed by other clubs thereafter. In July, 1908, the first American Esperanto Congress was held in Chautauqua, N. Y. It was at this Congress that the name Esperanto Association of North America was adopted by a union of the national Association and all local groups and individuals — which name has continued to this day for the represen- tative organized body of Esperantists in North America. As we pause at the threshold of the 50th year for EANA, I think we can all view with satisfaction the road behind us, and be optimistic about the way ahead. There have been many roadblocks and pitfalls in the past — but we stand at present, in comparison with the past, on what we may call a relatively high plateau. This plateau represents constant work and striving by the active membership over the years, an effort to create a re- sponsible Central Office, and the building of a loyal, respected body of members undertaking in a practical manner to promote Esperanto. In reporting developments during the past year, statistics show a con- tinued high level of activity at the Central Office throughout the fiscal year ending May 31st. The office sent out 4351 letters and in addition 625 packets of information on Esperanto as a result of inquiries received. 5568 items of mail were received. In a special sendout, in addition to letters already mentioned, the office mailed a general promotion letter to over 1600 names on the office mailing list, offering to send the Esper- anto Pronunciation Record on 10 days approval to be retained free upon sending in regular membership. The response co this campaign was not overwhelming— but we received about a 2% return of memberships, which is considered good for a general direct mail campaign. Three persons work full time in the Central Office: Mrs. Connor, My- ron Mychajliw, and myself. In addition Mrs. Muse comes in regularly to assist with special work. Then there are occasional helpers who volun- teer from the local Esperanto Society. Our work is most varied: regular correspondence with members and new prospects, correspondence through- out the world with other national associations and with the Universal Es- peranto Association, and a good deal of public relations work. Then there are the editing, translating, reviewing, and similar jobs. And all the com- posing and preparation of pages for the AE is done by the office. Then 51 **K: we design, prepare and print leaflets and promotional items. Many visitors come to the office, and we assist foreign Esper- antists who come through New York. This list of "things to do" is far from complete but it may give you an idea of the multi- tudinous duties and services at the Cen- tral Office. With reference to promotional literature, I trust that you all have seen the new edition of "Tune in on the World." It is very popular, and we printed 10,000 copies this past year. They are available to members at cost. A new edition of the Personal Growth Leaflet No. 183 of the National Education Association is due in the Fall. The matter of salaries paid by EANA to the workers in the Central Office was discussed last year and published in the AE. The situation remains the same this year. Mr. Mychajliw receives $50 a week, and Mrs. Connor and I receive $200 a month (roughly $25 a week for each of us). This is the maximum allowed by the Board of Directors. For years we received only $100 a month. The fact that we now receive the maximum is due to financial aid from outside sources, for which Mrs. Connor and I, as well as the Board of Directors, are very sincerely grateful. In addi- tion to salaries mentioned, occasional small sums are paid for necessary extra help to fill in busy hours on rare occasions a few times a year. An increased interest in Esperanto throughout the country this past year has been noticed on the part of school authorities and individual students. We receive a great many requests for information from young people who say, "I am writing a term paper on Esperanto" or sometimes they use the topic "international language". The armed forces contribute a good share to requests for information. Often these mention that they have run into Esperanto in connection with the army's tactical units known as the "Aggressor Force". Others state that they have seen a copy of "Esperanto: The World Interlanguage" in a post library —in Japan, in Korea, or in Europe. We now have quite a few members in the various armed forces. A most encouraging fact is that members come from the most varied sources. Just the other day, a letter asking for information came from a young man in Arizona, and he said that Senator Carl Hayden gave him the address of EANA. Many similar instances of governmental organizations and persons who take an inter- est in Esperanto, point up the importance of holding our policy on a high level of loyalty and respectability if we are to win and maintain the grow- ing interest in Esperanto in education, government, and the like. There has been a slight increase in the number of new members who joined EANA last year. 172 new members joined during the fiscal year, as compared to 141 during the previous fiscal year. The over-all status as to membership stands at about the same level as last year, with some favorable trends developing. The total membership now stands at 691, compared to 679 the previous year. This is only slightly more favorable 52 than last year. However, there has been an increase in the number of Patron Members and a notable increase in student and armed forces mem- berships. We feel that this is encouraging, since it reflects a practical interest among the young people of America. It is with profound gratitude that we note an increased support for the Sustaining Board for 1954. 21 members joined the Board, which makes effective work possible for EANA. One new member has joined since the issuance of the May-June AE. You will note from the Treasurer's Report that, in proportion, the Sustaining Board carries a considerable portion of the financial support for EANA — and it is true that their loyal untir- ing sacrifices sets an example of self-help which makes it possible for EANA to secure additional outside support which is so vital to the day- to-day and year-to-year functioning of EANA. We always note an increase in membership whenever a good "Letter to the Editor" appears in a newspaper or magazine, provided the name and address of EANA is given for free information to inquirers. Letters on Esperanto, chiefly "Letters to the Editor", written by members, were printed in more than 50 newspapers and magazines during the year. In addition, the magazines TIME and HOLIDAY printed stories and com- ments on Esperanto. In connection with this important matter of "Letters to the Editor", as well as any published items on Esperanto and international language in general, the Central Office would appreciate receiving clippings — large or small — from our friends and members. And in the preparation of letters and articles, write us for specimen letters which have proven suc- cessful. Also, a well-known pioneer Esperantist, who has great success, is willing and able to "ghost write" and assist with various items which you may wish to submit. Try your hand at these forms of promotion. As to statistics on new Esperanto courses during the past year, we recorded new courses in 26 places, including 16 courses in schools and colleges. We also note that the Esperanto Correspondence Course estab- lished last year by the Hadley School for the Blind—under the able di- rection of Donald W. Hathaway — was almost too much of a success! The school was quite overwhelmed with students from all parts of the world. We were happy to receive from one of our members, a copy of one of the letters sent out again this past year by LIFE as an "attention getter" utilizing Esperanto. It was sent out to those who were in arrears with their subscriptions to LIFE; (therefore we do not give the name of our member who must have been one of the culprits!) We may say that the Esperanto style used in the letter had a familiar ring, because we co- operated with LIFE by giving them the Esperanto translation. Excellently arranged public exhibitions of Esperanto were set up in college and public libraries in Allentown, Bethlehem, and Kutztown, Pa., also at the New Jersey Adult Education Conference in Princeton, New Jersey. The basis for all these exhibitions was the traveling exhibit of EANA. Donald Munro, of Quakertown, Pa., is here with us, and will give us the benefit of his experience in setting up the Pennsylvania exhibits. He added many items from his own Esperanto Kit to these exhibits so as to have them as interesting and complete as possible. His experience suggests to us the planning of Promotion Kits for our members in the 53 Fall. This is a phase of our promotion work which should be vastly ex- tended. Among the many formal speeches about Esperanto presented by mem- bers may be mentioned the following: two before Kiwanis Clubs in Wash- ington state, one before the Newark Rotary Club, one at the opening of the yearly YMCA Forum in Chicago, two demonstrations in the New York YMCA, one at Cooper Union College, New York, and six speeches be- fore High School and College groups throughout the country. Television programs featuring interviews on Esperanto were presented twice in Los Angeles, Calif., and once in Sioux City, Iowa. EANA has increased its endeavors to work more closely with other official Landaj Asocioj throughout the world— especially with reference to the general aspects of the Esperanto movement, cooperation in the sale of Esperanto books, and the strengthening of ties between official national groups. Especially close relations are maintained with the Cu- ban, Brazilian, Spanish and Swedish organizations. We hope to extend this effort in the future, to the end that more mutual aid be exchanged between the all-important Landaj Asocioj in the interests of responsible Esperanto development and promotion. In conclusion, we take note of the long years of work and sacrifice in an untiring effort to advance the cause of Esperanto, since the begin- nings of EANA, by many many people — all contributing to the present status of your representative and responsible organization. It is to the loyal self-sacrificing members to whom the maximum credit should go. We, your officers, could do nothing without your active support. Your la- bors, and the work of many who have gone before, all have brought the EANA to its present relatively high plateau of achievement. However, far off in the distance there are high peaks which reminds us that we have yet a long difficult way to go before we achieve the great objectiv- es which we have all set for ourselves. Those pinnacles, with many a treacherous chasm between, beckon us to infinitely greater achievement. It is no road for weaklings and carping critics. The struggle for Esper- anto requires loyalty and sacrifice and stout hearts who never fail when the going gets tough, or when those who would interrupt our progress lure us into shady by-paths of confusion from our straight but difficult road ahead. As a half-century of responsible EANA activity passes, and the new 50th Jubilee of EANA stretches our forces to accomplish new steps upward and onward, let us prepare now for that advance for Esper- anto in America. Let's all give our utmost this coming year, so as to make the Jubilee Year the best ever for your EANA. — G. Alan Connor "Unueco estas forto!" Let us all get together in a great unity effort for the Jubilee. The Central Office and the Board of Directors extend the hand of welcome to all Esperantists who have not as yet joined EANA or who may have dropped out for one reason or another. Let us erase any petty differences in the interest of a unified Esperanto movement. 54 FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING NAY 31, 1954 In accordance with authoritative recommendations to all non-profit educational and other corporations enjoying the privilege of tax-exemption, the Esperanto Association of North America publishes annually an audited statement of its fi- nancial operations and condition for the benefit of its members.

Mi fidas, ke ĉiu kon- gresano ĝuos ĉiun minuton de la Kongreso. Specialaj preparoj por via vizito al Ĉi-tiu Kon- greso estas faritaj por konigi al vi diversajn Esperanto-aferojn kaj por ke vi interkonatiĝu kun via elektitaro. Partoprenu en Ciu kunsido kaj petu Ĉiujn demandojn, kiujn vi deziras. Sincere mi bedaflras, ke mi ne povas ee- esti nian kongreson dum ĉi-tiu jaro. Mia edz- ino estas grave malsana; sed la kuracisto havas la opinion, ke Si resan- iĝos dum Ĉi-tiu somero. Mi promesas nun, ke mia tuta familio ĉeestos la Oran Jubilean Kongreson en la jaro 1955. Mi petas, ke vi donu multe.da ideoj pri tiu kunveno al nia Ĝenerala Sekretario, S-ro Connor. Je la venonta kongreso en 1955, mi klarigos al vi pri mia disertacio, verkota por ricevi Diplomon de Doktoro de Filozofio, kiun mi ricevos en Junio 1955. Mi esploros opiniojn de instruistoj, edukistoj, kaj komercist- oj por lerni la procentajon de helpo, kiun ni nuntempe havas en Usono pri la uzo de Esperanto kiel dua lingvo aŭ interlingvo. Varman manpremon al vi ĉiuj, estimataj gesamideanoj. Mi dankas al vi pro la belega subteno kaj deziras, ke vi daŭrigu la gloran laboradon por nia amata lingvo, Esperanto. Vivu forta landa asocio! Sincere, M ^T^yJ <%B s£&^cuut^ NI FUNEBRA5 DU PIONIROJN DE EANA Depost la eldono de la antaŭa numero de AE, venis al ni informoj pri la morto de du intimaj samideanoj kaj kunlaborantoj de EANA. Ambaŭ estis aktivaj pri Esperanto ĝis la lasta momento, kaj ambaŭ estis mem- broj de la Subtena Kaso de la Asocio. La tuta Esperantistaro Suldas multon al ili pro la konstantaj servoj kaj oferoj por EANA. Mrs. Windsor H. Wyrnan de Melrose, Florida, mortis en hospitalo prok- sime al sia hejmo post du tagoj de malsano, je la 31a de Majo. Ernest Green Dodge de Washington, D. C, mortis subite de koratako en sia eksterurba hejmo en Braddock Heights, Md., je la 28a de Aŭgusto. Ni presos nekrologojn kun rememoroj pri iliaj vivoj kaj servoj al la Esperanto movado en la sekvonta numero de AE. Ni esprimas sincerajn kondolencojn al la du familioj. 57 MEMBERS OF THE 44TH EANA CONGRESS Sincere thanks to all who so wonderfully supported the 44th Congress either in person or by buying a ticket "by-mail".

You are thus an organizer of courses and not merely a teacher, c) Get a list of Directors of all Adult Schools in the state. Contact as many as you can supply teachers for classes. Send them a letter and propaganda. Follow up with phone calls and personal contact, d) Attend Adult School Association Conventions and Panels, e) Help the Adult School by getting your em- ployer to put in an ad in the catalog or if you have your own business put one in. f) Tell the Director that you will run your course for a fee accord- ing to the number of students enrolled, and teach even a small group with no loss to the school, g) Assist the Director to sell the idea of a course to his Committee. Outline the facts re exhibits, talks to Service Clubs and Women's Groups, P.T.A., etc. (very important). Spread leaflets in trains, trolleys, R. R. stations, h) Get well-known people to talk to mem- bers of the Committee, i) Repeat the above process in near-by towns. INSTRV-METODOJ KAJ MATER1ALOJ, S-ino Leslie Davis, Leader S-ro Ray Kelly parolis al ni pri la Cseh-Metodo (rekta metodo por la instruo de Esperanto). Ciuj konsentas, ke ĝi estas tre bona metodo kaj ke almenaŭ por la unuaj lecionoj, ĝi estas la plej bona. S-ro Kelly diris, ke oni povas aĉeti la kompletan Cseh-Kurson, kundetalaj gvidinstrukcioj por instruistoj, de la Centra Oficejo de EANA, kaj tiel lerni la metodon per si mem. En la kurso oni ankaŭ uzas tiel nomatan "aparaton" (traduk- anton) kaj serion de tre facilaj legolibretoj. S-roj Roy Holland kaj Harry Harrison raportis, ke ili uzas la libron Home Student de Robbie. La instruistoj de la Esperanto-Asocio de Nov- Jerzio uzas la libron Esperanto: The World Interlanguage, kelkfoje kun diskoj de la "Connor Course"', kaj en progresaj kursoj oni ofte utiligas la librojn Esperanto Grammar & Commentary de Cox, Step by Step in Es- Esperanta kurso de F-ino D. McCusker en lernejo por plenkreskuloj en Nov-Jerzio. Starante maldekstre estas D-ro Mayer, Estro de la lernejo. peranto de Butler, por komikaj ekzercoj, kaj LaTuta Esperanto deSeppik. Por teni la intereson de la lernantoj S-ro Holland diris, ke li instigas ilin komenci korespondi ek de la dua leciono, precipe per poŝtkartoj. La studantoj de S-ro Harrison (soldatoj plejparte) korespondis kun virinoj! S-ro Kelly esploras pri apartaj interesoj de siaj klasanoj kaj helpas al ili utiligi Esperanton por tiuj celoj. Alia ideo estas, ke oni klarigu al kursanoj manierojn kiel ili povas uzi Esperanton, ekz. Ĉeesti lokajn kun- venojn, korespondi, legi librojn ne haveblajn en la angla traduko, propa- ganda instrui, traduki, skribi artikolojn, kaj vojaĝi. Ni Ĉiuj konsentis, ke konversacio inter grupanoj estas grava. En la kurso de S-ro Harrison, ekz., oni konversaciis dum la lastaj dek minutoj de ĉiu leciono, kaj li subite ne komprenas la anglan lingvon. S-ino Davis diris, ke post la tria aŭ kvara leciono Si ofte postulas, ke ĉiu preparu temon pri kiu li parolu dum du-tri minutoj. Alia ideo estas elekti temon kaj lasi al la studantoj interparoli pri ĝi.
