ESPERANT0ClUB
FORMED IN SCHOOL
Pupils of Hine Junior High to
Correspond in International
Language.

Organization OF an Esperanto Club
has been started at the Hine Junior
High School by a group Of the pupils.
The members Of this club hope to
be fluent speakers in a short time
They will begin soon to correspond
with young people interested in Es-
peranto in other parts of the world
since for Esperantists there is no
barrier of language.
The fact that Esperanto was
created by careful selection or inter-
nationally used word-roots, 80 that
recognizable to English.speakins
people. will make the acquisition OF
the vocabulary easy for the pupils.
Still more helpful will be the fact
that the grammar has been reduced
to the easiest possible form. with no
exceptions to rules. The introduce
tion to languages thus given will be
a help to the club members when
they undertake a study of French
Spanish or Latin later in their curricu-
lum.
Observance of better speech week
at the school was marked by the
presentation. at an assembly We'd
nesday, of a play, THE Amt Family,
by the 7B classes. The production
was under the direction Of Miss Z.
r. Woodward.
The clerical practice class was
given a demonstration Tuesday on the
calculating machine.
Nineteen Clubs Formed.
Nineteen clubs, under the direction
of faculty advisers, were presented
last week for membership to the
student body. Among these clubs are
several of keen interest to the boys,
such as Boy Scouts, travel. and In
dustrial investigation. The latter
club will do field work in the
study of local industries. The girls
are especially interested in home eco
nomics, needlework and Girl Scouts.
