Post la disputado pri la lingvo internacia, al kiu So. Stein, profesoro ĉe la Berna Universitato, favore partoprenis, So. Couturat petis la aliĝon de la Kongreso al la "Delegacio." Tiu aliĝo fariĝis unuvoĉe.

Ni, Ĝenevanoj, ni povas ĝoji, ke la kongreso okazis en nia urbo, ĉar ĝi altiris la atenton de la publiko pri la lingvo internacia kaj aparte pri Esperanto. Tiel espereble nia propagando estos faciligata.

THE PROGRESS OF ESPERANTO IN GREAT BRITAIN AND ABROAD.

The contents of this section are supplied by the Hon. Sec. of the London Esperanto Club, who invites all Esperantists to send monthly reports of the spread of the International Language in their districts. Communications must reach 14, Norfolk Street, London, W. C., before the 8th of each month.

The British Esperanto Association.

The first Council of the Association took place on Monday, October 24th. The President, Colonel Pollen, C.I.E., took the chair. Twelve of the Council were present, besides the executive officers. It was decided that the Council should use the power given them of appointing Sub-Committees for various purposes, and to co-opt as Councillors several people whose aid would be of value on such Sub-Committees. Messrs. Cowper, Millidge, Motteau, and Rolston, and Miss Schafer were then elected. It was decided to establish The British Esperanto Association in offices at 14, Norfolk Street, Strand, and appoint an Assistant Secretary at the rate of £26 per annum. A Sub-Committee, viz., Mr. Cowper (of Deal), Mr. Maitland, and Mr. Millidge, was appointed to draw up the Rules of Association, and the Rules, when drafted, were to be submitted to the Council for approval.

It was also resolved that Dr. Lloyd, Mr. Rhodes, and Mr. Bullen should be asked to collaborate in formulating, for submission to the Council, a Scheme and Rules for Examinations as to proficiency in Esperanto.
