En alilandaj societoj, ofte trovigxas multaj sekretarioj, por la
diversaj partoj de la administracio de la Grupo. Gxis nun la
Esperanto Club nur havis unu. Sed, kvankam la koro deziras cxion
fari, la tempon mankas. Ni do antauxmetas peton ke oni cxiam sendu
estontajn mendojn[27] je libroj ne al la Hon. Sek. sed al Sinjoro P.
H. Howard, _The Librarian, Esperanto Club, The Bungalow, Cranes Park,
Surbiton, Surrey_. Kvankam Sinjoro Howard havas sian propran grupon
Surbitone li ankaux aminde prenis sur sin la devojn de "Librarian,"
tiel malpezigante la laboron de la Hon. Sek. Tiu cxi estas necesa por
ke Esperanto kaj la Gazeto kreskadu, kaj ni esperas ke cxiuj amikoj
memoros la sxangxon kaj tiel sxparos laboron kaj tempon.

_In order that this Gazette may be useful as a propaganda agent, it
has been considered advisable to include in each number a synopsis of
the Grammar of Esperanto, so that those hitherto ignorant of its
system may be the better able to appreciate the magazine._

SYNOPSIS OF THE GRAMMAR.

The ALPHABET is composed of 28 letters. They are the following:--

A B C CX D E F G GX H HX I J JX K L M N O P R S SX T U V Z and UX.

The VOWELS are always given a long sound; as in the well-known
phrase, "Pa, may we go too?" Shorthand students will at once
recognise them as the long vowels of "Pitman." Their sound can also
be illustrated by--"Bart, Bait, Beat, Boat and Boot."

The following CONSONANTS need special attention. It must be
remembered that the sounds given are invariable, because _Esperanto
spelling is phonetic and each letter has only one sound_:--

The letter C is sounded as in Czar, or as the "ts" in Bits.
" " CX " " Church.
" " G " " Gag; _i.e._, the hard sound.
" " GX " " George; _i.e._,the soft sound.
" " H " " His; _i.e._, it is aspirated and
never mute as in French.
" " HX " " Loch; _i.e._, the Scotch or German
"CH" or Spanish "J."
" " J " " the English letter Y. Thus Paroloj is
sounded Paroloy.
" " JX " " the French J in Bijou or the S in the
English word Ple
