in their schools? We
hope so, and have already received some most interesting letters from
principals who have already done so, with excellent results. In every
instance children greatly appreciate our logical tongue. The movement
among the young folk reminds me that M. Privat, Editor of _La Juna
Esperantisto_ (9, _Avenue des Vollandes, Geneva_), tells me he has
only two subscribers in England. _La Juna Esperantisto_ aims at
spreading Esperanto among the young, and we will accept with pleasure
annual subscriptions (1s. 9d.) for this bi-monthly journal.
M. Cart also complains that the British Blind have not yet rallied
round our Standard. The new _Esperanta Ligilo_ (monthly) in Braille
will possibly at once remedy this misfortune. All blind students
should apply to _Professor Cart_, 12, _Rue Soufflot, Paris._
The authors of _A New Hobby_ have kindly presented the London
Esperanto Club with the remainder of the edition for free
distribution. Those Esperantists who will send cost of postage can
have a number of that interesting brochure free.
"Someone's loss is another's gain" is indeed a true proverb. Although
we English greatly regret the departure of two of our most earnest
fellow-workers, we console ourselves in the thought that Germany and
Queensland will now possess new and able adepts, who will be able to
preside over new groups there. It is therefore no loss, but merely a
translocation of energy! All good wishes and success!
The summer holidays approach, and all good Esperantists naturally
want to journey abroad to speak Esperanto. It will, then, be
interesting to note that I have received very kind letters from
Captain Cape, in Algeria, and M. David, of the Group in St. Claude,
Jura, promising a very hearty welcome to English Esperantists. Let me
state once more that the Departement Jura is a place to be visited,
and let me advise all who can to enjoy the lovely mountains, air, and
language. I regret that space is lacking for the two kind letters.
Perhaps Algeria will be more comfortable in winter time.
As August 1st is an English Bank-holiday, and so many of our
Subscribers will be in Havre, I will try to have the tenth number
of The Esperantist sent out on July 28th. That issue will
contain a most interesting Danish tale, by our well-known
collaborator, Miss Bauer. Also an original article from India,
written by Mr. Simper; and a further hair-on-end original story, by
the devoted O.W., will appear the
