Martin, in his second convention, carries on a wide correspondence in the language, including that with an English friend in the R. A. F. and a woman teacher in Tahiti.

But it doe3 seem appropriate to emphasize in this/ offioial way that the * *.reading of Esperanto books and booklets is one utilization of our Esperanto attainments* * most' ŭnTversally possible for every one who learns the language—and this is especially* * the oase in the time of this war, when use of the language for tourist purposes is so * largely interrupted, and when its use for international correspondence is somewhat ourt- * * tailed. The "Esperanto-Rondo de Librolegantoj" was established by EANA four years ago, * * with a purpose having two• poles like the poles of a magnet. One pole-of-attraotion, * * whioh to stimulate the more advahoed Esperantists among us to still wider reading of * * the Esperanto literature, has proved effective in some degree. Several members have * * responded by adding star after star to their collection of membership cards, through * * adding several further thousands of pages to their array of books they have read* * * But the other, and certainly more important, pole-of^attraction has not yet been pro- * * duoing results suoh as were hoped for. Itwas hoped—-and still is hoped— that not . * * scores but hundreds of the new beginning students in Esperanto classes will set before * * as one of their first goals the reading of one Esperanto book, or of two or three book-* * lets amounting to at least 100 pages in all; and then to signalize this as their first * * milestone on the "Esperantista vojo" by registering as One-Star Members of the Libro- * * legantoj. And further it is hoped that a goodly fraction of these newer Esperantists * * will next set for themselves the higher but surely not difficult goal of qualifying in * * the Two-Star grade of registration by reading at least 500 pages of the worthy litera- * * ture whioh Esperanto possesses. Those who enlarge their contact with the treasured of * * the language by taking these two steps will become "established in the faith", and any * * later backsliding on their part will be rendered far less likely. Both clubs and indivi- * dual workers may well give more attention to this aspect of our program. * * With renewed expression of loyalty to the language given to the world by the genius * * of Zamonhof, and developed by devoted labors on the part of hundreds of able successors* * into a mature medium adequate for all phases of linguistic expression, your committee * * joins with the Esperantists both present in the thirty-fourth oongress and those soat- * * tered throughout the land, in a pledge for the coming year-whose slogan should be» * * ".

The • •four most essential items in such a list of necessities are these: (A) a 5f "Key to * * Esperanto," whose chief utility is to attract the interest of those previously strangers* *to the language. It even enables them to begin the practical use of the language for x * reading and for minor correspondence. But it is not at all a text book for use in * 1 classes. (B) A regular lesson book for beginners, suitable both for class work and • * for private study, costing not more than 20^. For several years we have been able to * * meet this need by the 20 cent Robbie's "Home Student," printed in England but with J * American information on the four-page cover. Prior to the war, 3,000 of these were • * imported; and more than three fourths of these are already sold. (0) An inexpensive * • • J pocket dictionary, giving meanings both ways — from Esperanto to English and from Eng- * *lish to Esperanto. The one now available is the one prepared by Mr. Karl Proding, price^ • 250. In one important respect it is an improvement over its predecessors, since it + • gives — not naked Esperanto roots, to which endings must be appended by the student, • *but the complete Esperanto words, thus revealing which roots are basically those of * J verbs, which, are substantive in nature, and which are adjective. (D) A gi-mmar and * *book of exercises, larger, fuller, more advanced, and more scholarly than any 20^ book x • for beginners can possibly be. • • It is to a students' lesson book of this more advanced type that we are now di- * Greeting fresh attention. This ^Pyactical Grammar of the International Language (Esp- * *eranto)" was prepared by a scholarly woman who holds four university degrees, A.B., A.M.^. iph.B., and LL.B. The first edition dated back to 1915. But the current or fourth • ^edition, issued in 1938, is brought up to date through a revision at the hands of the * •original author, during which a member of the EAKA Estraro cooperated in a consultat- * • ive capacity. £ • This grammar contains 142 numbered pages and 8 pages without number, plus a cover • *of green paperoid resembling cardboard. In addition to a vocabulary in the back con- • "taining all words used in the exercises, this grammar contains a full index of grammat- * *ical topics treated, and twenty so-called "Lessons," each of which is in fact sufficient £ •for more than one study period, in case of students of average capacity. * • Each "Lesson" consists of grammatical explanations, a vocabulary of new words, • *a reading exercise, an Esperanto dialog in question and answer form, and an exercise for* J translation into Esperanto. Since the reading exercises and the sentonces for trans- *, ^lation into Esperanto are not renditions one of the other (as they are in Robbie's Home * • Student) the progressing student is thrown more on his own responsibility, his own re- • ■A sources, and he must figure ouir problems for himself. * • The office of EANA has always handled this Bractical Grammar of Dr. Ivy Keller- J .man Reed and has always recommended it as one of the best study books for the second or ^ ^third stage of the learner's progress. In former years it was not alone in this field,* *as some had a predilection for "other grammatical works' in the same general class, such, * • for example as the grammars published in England under, the names of Cox, or of Newell, * *or of Butler. Now, when war conditions andt he disruption of normal trade have thrown^ J difficulties in the way of importing all books from abroad, the Reed Bractical Grammar • • stands more alone in its field..

The number of competitors * * was quite small, which was to be expeoted in view of the difficulty of the poem and the * * fact that competition was limited to "new talent" in the sense of persons not figuring * * as winners of an award or an honorable mention in our previous contest of 1938. Only two* * versions of those now received are deemed of sufficient merit to be rated as prize win- * * ners, one each in classes "A" and "B". Among Esperantists whose study of the language * * began in 1938 or later, this award is earned by David Richardson, of Seattle, Washington* * And among Esperantists of longer standing, similar recognition belongs to Mrs. Rita Beuk- * ema Nuss, of Grand Forks, North Dakota. —It is interesting and sometimes very instruo- * * tive to compare the many and divers ways in which it is possible to approach the prob- * * lem of transmuting a poem from effective English into effective Esperanto. * * Owing to the extra amount, of material for this double number of "AE", much that we * * would like to publish will have to wait for the September issue—aming the most import-* * ant items are the above noted translations.
