ESPERANTO IN FAVOR.
Club Works to Have Language Made
Elective in Schools.

Last night at the weekly meeting of the
High School Esperanto Club at l4lO II
street the committee in charge OF the
campaign to introduce Esperanto as an
elective subject in the local high schools
submitted its report for the first week.
The circulation of petitions to the board
of education asking that the language be
taught in the local high schools was
started last Monday and results are said
to be surprising.
Wednesday evening the 1ntemacia
Klubo. the largest Esperanto club in the
District entered the campaign and since
then the other Esperanto clubs have
joined the work. BY Saturday night. with
only part of the reports in. the com
mittee finds it has more than 2tD sigma
lures of high school students alone as
well as many signatures of parents and
high school teachers.
The most promising feature of the cam
paign is the favorable attitude shown by
the teachers and principals OF the nigh
schools Practically none was actually
opposed to the introduction of Esperanto
as an elective subject. while many were
outspoken in their Endorsement. There
was however suggestion by some OF
the language teachers that Esperanto
would be better in the eighth grade as a
prepa ra ton for the study OF the more
difficult languages

per acre, 60 bushels of oats and about
20 bushels of fax. All homesteads are
taken in the vicinity, but wild land

there were eighty-four and a quarter

February was exceptionally fine all
