CORRESPONDENCE NOTES.
The Editor desires to thank numerous correspondents for their most valuable and interesting views on the Accent Question.
It will be recollected that April 10th is the last day for receiving votes on the matter, and it is hoped that all friends wishing to do away with the accents will kindly send their postcards before that date. As was anticipated, up to the present more replies have come to hand against the proposal than for it. It will naturally be supposed that those readers not sending any reply are in favour of the continued use of the accents. In the May gazette the question will be decided. It is somewhat early to prophesy, but unless a remarkable change sets in, the future Esperantists will be as their predecessors.
Two correspondents have sent queries as to written Esperanto. This, of course, is the same all the world over. Russians do not attempt to use their own characters, neither do Chinese try to write picture Esperanto. Were this otherwise, we should all, to a large extent, be wasting our time over the study. Let our two friends take courage, and at once enter into correspondence with Russian Samideanoj.
Will some Esperantists in Accrington, Sheffield, and Ventnor kindly assist blind students to master the language? Help in this direction will be greatly appreciated.
Several adepts have expressed willingness to correct letters of less experienced students, provided stamped envelopes be enclosed for the reply. Will those desirous of taking advantage of the privilege send in their names to the Editor?
