MANY HEARD
OF ESPERANTO
W. H. Fishers Address Be-
fore Baptist Brotherhood.

h rapid progress being made in
the spread OF Esperanto, the inter
national language, throughout the
world, was told in an interesting adj
dress given by w. H. Fisher, of Pitts
burg, at the meeting OF the Baptist
Brotherhood last night. Mr.. Fisher
also set forth some Of the advantages
OF knowing the language. The
chapel where the address was given
was well filled and much interest
was manifested. AT the close about
ffteenof those present signifed a
desire to join a class for the study
OF the language. 1t is probable that
a meeting will be called the latter
part of this week to further consider
thematter. A general invitation
will be extended to everyone inter
ested to be present. Mr.. Fisher will
be on hand to give preliminary in
structions. AS long as he is in the
city he will be glad to render any
assistance possible.
After the routine business of the
Brotherhood had been transacted
last night, MI. Fisher was intro
duced. He had a large number of
exhibits with him showing different
text books as well as several vol
umes that have been translated into
Esperanto.
Mr.. Fisher began by telling about
Dr.. Zamenhof, a native Of Poland.
the inventor of the language. The
words are taken from all the natural
languages, being about eighty per
cent. from each. This is possible te-
cause the same roots are found in
SO many different languages. BY
means Of a few simple oua,xes the
same word is made to mean a great
many different things. Every letter
in a word Is always sounded and the
accent Is always on the pernult, or
next to the last syllable.
Mr.. Fisher told how the language
is progressing, especially in Europe.
In some places the teaching of the
language Is made compulsory and in
the state OF Maryland, in this coun-
try, public schools are permitted to
teach 1t. A preliminary urs in
Esperanto, In the teaching of any
language Is being recognizedea help
full to the student. Educators are
looking upon Esperanto more and
more f~avorably, especially since 1t
has proven its worth.
About sixty new languages have
been invented since Esperanto was
started, but Esperanto has survived
them all and lis still going on.
Mr.. Fisher answered many cues
lions that were asked at the close OF
the address. He recited Little Be
Peep" In Esperanto and also read the
twenty-third Psalm In the same Ian
guage. He Is enthusiastic in pre-
senting Esperanto and is greatly
pleased at the interest being shown
