e when one considers that scarcely
twelve months have passed since its commencement), I am certain that
many Esperantists will be found in various parts of Britain who most
willingly will give their support to the movement by writing letters
to the Press in favour of the foundation of any Club, Group, or
Society. Such correspondence will doubtless prove that there exist
many opponents to our proposal. This is inevitable in any new scheme,
and their adverse comments must be politely listened to, and
instructively refuted by any of us who possess the necessary
capability for such work. Let us ever bear in mind that this
opposition is to us of far greater worth than apathy and indifference.

Having aroused, for a time, interest in the subject, and thus having
caused a certain section of the public to become desirous of learning
more about it, give a public lecture on the theme of an Auxxiliary
International language. The Chairman should be someone of local
eminence.

Announcements of the meeting must be printed in the local Press.
It would also be well to seek the support of the various Literary
Institutions of the neighbourhood, and, having arranged the meeting,
to send to every Secretary, for distribution to the members, bills
announcing its date, place, and purpose.

At the termination of the lecture invite discussion, and then and
there announce the foundation of the new Group (obviously the rules,
proposals, etc., must be drawn up beforehand), fix the title of the
Group, define its purpose, and elect its officers, etc. This done,
ask your audience to at once become members.

The subscription must be so small as to form no obstacle to anyone's
joining.

These are the chief principles by which I have founded the Society
whose Hon. Secretary I am, but certainly not without having had the
valuable cooperation of the other members (of whom the present
Committee is composed), and also that of the indefatigable Hon.
Secretary of the Esperanto Club, the Editor of this Gazette.

I sincerely hope that these few remarks will be useful to
Friends-in-Esperanto, and that they will be encouraged to found
Groups in those localities, where none at present exist.

Sen kruco aux doloro?
Sen tim' pro ia perd' malgxoja
En tre proksima horo?
