The Growth of Esperanto.

&. i . . ! ~ II
Books for the study Of Esperanto arc
now printed in Twenty-Five different Ian
guages They publish about Twenty-Five
Journals in the new idlom. one Of them
of strictly scientific character. Several
Continental papers, occasionally or regu-
larly, offer to their readers an article in
Esperanto. Esperantist clubs or societies
nre to be found almost everywhere: the
one In Paris counts no less than three
thousand members; while those In cities
like Marseilles, Lyon. Bordeaux, lie
Havre, Lille, and so forth. are also of
considerable size. Courses In Esperan ia
are offered not only In club rooms, but In
public institutions as we'll. A few COM
merclal schools have 1t on their pro-
grammes. as a free elective. In the Uni
;versity Of Dion they have organized an
evening GLASS. which Is said to be well at
tended. Not long ago. Professor Carnot.
of the national engineering school (Ecole
des Mlnes). In Paris said publicly that he
was thinking of introducing Esperanto In
the regular courses of his students. In
England they have adopted the method OF
tuition by correspondence. Esperanto has
already proved useful for providing read
ing for the blind. A system Of steno-.
graphy has been adopted to the new lam
guage. Many commercial firms use 1t for
International telegraphic communications,
Several employ advertisements In Espe-
ranto and find that 1t pays,--Albert

Being Some Comments on the Time to Do a Thing

Some days ago-perhaps a couple of

fit did not pause long enough to get all

fstory Of a wen known society belle-a

become engaged to @ gentleman who was

her he observed that her beauty attracted
all kinds OF attention, and, OF course,
this burned Into his soul Had She not
been beautiful, and had she not possessed
the charming personality that attracted
other men. the chances are that the stu
dent would not have been smitten by her
grace and manner. but because he was
