Thus far our efforts have been successful, and the B.E.A. formed,
but we must not forget that this is only the first step, we have to
formulate carefully the Rules; and suggestions of all kinds will be
welcome. The arrangement as to examiners and examinations will be an
arduous and difficult work, and this applies to the whole of the
objects mentioned in Resolution 2. Each and everyone of us must do
our very best to give of our time and of our means. It has often been
said that true enthusiasm empties pockets. Let us, everyone who can
afford it, at least, become members, and those who can go one better
may add a donation. Subscriptions and funds will be gladly welcomed
by the Hon. Secretary, Harald Clegg, Esq., 14, Norfolk Street,
Strand, London.
Our space will not allow me to mention the classes in and around
London; particulars of these were published in the October
Esperantist. There was, however, one mistake, Miss Schafer's
class at the German Club, Charlotte Street, Fitzroy Square, is held
on Wednesday. The Principal of the Cusack Institute, White Street,
close to Moorgate Street Station, has placed a room at our disposal,
and classes are held there on Thursday evenings--beginners at 6.15,
teacher Mr. Gray; advanced 7.15, Miss Schafer.
Which of our readers has not heard of the extraordinary progress made
by Esperanto in Aberdeen? Their case is, I should think, unique. As
the result of a newspaper propaganda, commenced scarcely five weeks
ago, Aberdeen has more than 170 students attending classes. They
intend to hold a meeting in the Town Hall, which holds 5,000 people,
and already names for the Adresaro are coming in. All honour to the
enthusiastic Mr. A. Christen, who has originated and carried out this
successful movement.
News of progress abroad will have to be held over this month. Two
items are of great importance. At a congress of workmen painters held
lately in Grenoble it was decided that delegates to the next congress
must be able to speak Esperanto; and the preparations for the
reception of Dr. Zamenhof at Boulogne are already being commenced.

Tutmonda Jarlibro.
As all our readers know, this wonderful directory has been compiled
by So de Ménil, of 45, Boulevard Magenta, Paris. It being the first
of its kind, absolute correctness was impossible. All Esperantists
are, therefore, earnestly asked to correct any mistakes they find in
it, and to forward such corrections to So de Ménil before the 10th
November. Postcards will do of course; but if we are to have a
correct directory next year everyone _must_ help, and that speedily.
We have already notified M. de Ménil of most obvious slips.

Mr. H. P. Hughes, of 2, Fairfield Road, Stockton Heath, Warrington,
will send reprints of his interesting article (which appeared in
several papers) to any who will send a stamped addressed envelope,
and Mr. Dudeney's article in the _Bedfordshire Times_ is still
obtainable, price 2d.
