Aim of the Promoters.

1t has always been the aim of Esper-
artists, it is said, to have the international
auxiliary language compulsory sub
ject, preceding all other language study,
but as yet this Is not regarded as prac-
ticablc In many European countries
Esperanto is an elective study in the
schools. but it has never been OFFICIALLY
taught in the public schools of this coun-
try In this city, however. the High
school students have shown such an In
terest in the language that it has been
hoped the board of education will decide
to admit it as an elective study
The High School Club will commence
work tomorrow morning and other clubs
later this week 1t is announced that no
prominent person. from President Wilson
down. will be omitted in their visits.

Of INSURANCE FIRMS
Missouri Fire Companies Must
Fulfill Obligations, State
Official Says.

ST. LOUIS. June 1.-Insurance Com
missioner Revellc. Monday. will issue eta
tons against the fire insurance compa-
MES that have ceased writing policies in
Missouri to show cause for their refusal
to issue insurance i'll this state. The
companies will have ten days under the
citation to show why their Missouri Ii
censes should not be revoked.
Mr.. Revelle. who was in ST. Louis to-
day. said the inability to get insurance
is felt more in rural communities than
in the large cities. Country banks. he
said, have foreclosed mortgages because
borrowers have been unable to obtain a
renewal of insurance on mortgaged
proDerty.

Dear Sir: Last Tuesday we-some of
the children Of the 7B grade. Madison
School-went to see the pictures at the
Belasco Theater. l never learned as
much geography at one time as l learn
ed that afternoon through seeing those
pictures. The lecturer not only made the
pictures more clear to US by explaining
them, but kept us laughing all the time
by his funny and clever remarks. l had
little idea what the Balkan war was or
looked like, until | saw those pictures
nor did ! think that the canal was as
wonderful as it is.
Although all the pictures were inter-
esting, the ones / enjoyed most were the
maps. The animated maps of the Balkan
countries showed how Turkey grew (both
larger and smaller) during the last 600
years. But now there is no more Turkey
In Europe. except one little spot. AS the
lecturer told us, one has to get magni-
flying glass to find it. The other map
SIN owed how the Panama canal shortened
the route to different countries. Thank
ing you for your great kindness. l am.

THANK STAR
FOR FREE FILM SHOW
Madison School Pupils Write
Appreciation of Balkan War
and Canal Pictures.

Sincere appreciation of the Oppor-
tunity to see free of charge the kline
macolor motion pictures of the Pana-
ma canal and Balkan war scenes at
forded teachers and pupils Of the public
schools of the District recently by The
Star and Manager L. Stoddard Taylor
of the Belasco Theater is expressed in
number of letters which were re-
ceived yesterday by The Star The let
tiers are from the 7B grade Of the Mad
ison School of the sixth division.
Besides showing the appreciation OF
the free pictures. the letters also show
that the youngsters are getting a prac-
teal knowledge of writing letters. All
of the letters hold deep interest-more
interesting probably because they
come from children thirteen and four
teen years old.
Following is one Of the letters:
ITO the Editor of The Star. Washington. =
Dear Sir much appreciated
seeing the pictures at the Be
lasco Theater Tuesday. They were
very interesting. The Balkan war
was the most interesting pic
ture. though the animated map OF Eu-
rope excited our attention. Twelve chill
dren in our room went to see the
pictures. Most children thought they
were the most instructive they had
ever seen. The man who lectured was
very entertaining. l thank you very
much for the opportunity of seeing
them.
Very sincerely.
