0PEN HOUSE CLUB ID DISBApD
of President Carey Takes Effect About 5000 to Divide

to which any member might contribute who cared to do 70 for the purpose OI refunding Mrs. William c. Ianman his share of the division. In this way fl was proposed to make it possible to return the money that the club nas left to. Mrs. Lannafl, who originally made the contribution that started the club. The amount to be divided up will ex- ceed $1,000 probably.
 The following officers of the club were made the committee to take in charge the disposal of the property and the division of the money: Presi- dent Nelson Poe Carey, Vice President Charles e. Cobb, Treasurer Grosvenor Ely, Financial Secretary H. C., Mc7 Naught, Corresponding and Recording Secretary Charles F. Whitney.
 After the meeting President Carey said that he believed the club had served a very useful purpose among the young men of the community dur ing the years of it's existence but that changing conditions and multiplica- something of the same field had been some of the reasons leading to the present state which led it to the vote to disband.
 Another May Be Started.
 The club started with a charter membership of 60 Nov. 10, 1907, in rooms in the Thames Loan and Trust company building, later removing to it's present location. Among a number of the members there is still a strong de- sire for the continuation of the club along the lines on which Open House has been run, and it is possible that they may make some effort to found another club.

TO BE REPRESENTED
 AT CHARTER HEARING
Albert Boardman Delegated by So
 ciaIists-Talk on Esperanto.

A talk on Why Esperanto Should Be Taught in the Public Schools of Con- necticut was given on Thursday eve hing before the weekly meeting of the socialist party in their rooms in the Stead building, the speaker being Ed ward Perkins Clarke. He presented the subject in an interesting manner, making the point that Esperanto was an international auxiliary language, and not, as commonly supposed, un- iversal language He showed the ne cessity of such an auxiliary language and that because of difficult syntax and grammar the dead languages would not do. Such was the jealousy between the nations that it could not be hoped to adopt any of the modern languages for no one nation would consent to having any single language taken as the international auxiliary. Political and mercantile advantages would stand in the way. Hence, a neutral language was needed, one de- rived from the roots of all the others With the growing cosnopolitanism of New England and the increasing num- Der of persons of foreign extraction coming to Connecticut, the practical value of Esperanto would become in creasingly evident as time goes on.
 At the close of the talk an original dialogue, called A Lesson in Esperanto, was nicely given hH Ida and Lucy Clarke.
 The Norwich socialists have elected Comrade Albert Boardman to appear in Hartford at the next hearing on the charter commission for Norwich.
