The recent convention of Esperant- Ists in Boston directs attention anew to the progress of the movement for a universal language, Of late years not 60 much has been heard by the general public concerning Esperanto, Possibly because of the press of mat- ters following the great war, but the origina] enthusiasts have never wav- ered in their fidelity to the project and are seeking converts as vigor- ously as ever, Even during the war the Esperant- ists were busy and the language was taught in a number of military camps abroad, affording not only amusement but intellectual discip- line to the soldiers who were await- ing more active duty. The practic- ability of Esperanto, its inherent logical basis, is not to be doubted. It 18 less arbitrary than other artific- ial systems that have been devised to overcome the handicap imposed at the tower of Babel, It contains more elements that are common to the European languages and unquestion- ably is easier to learn, But granting an this, is there any possibility that it wil ever become the universal language of the world? It seems not, Esperanto's useful. ness will be as an auxiliary language. It will have its place in international commercial transactions and perhaps some day in important diplomatic ex- changes. Its inventor has rendered the world a service. If its advocates are riding a hobby, it is not an absurd Or unprofitable one. But it is neces- sary to recognize Esperanto's limita- tions. , No-nation can be expected to give up its language or accord it second place to a stranger, The expression 'mother tongue" Dossesses a deep significance that is not lightly to be disregarded, -------- KINGSTON'S GROWTH, The preliminary census figures is- sued the other day by the Dominion Statistician places the city ot King- ston {n quite a favorable light as compared with many places in the dominion as regards healthy expan- sion during the past ten years, These figures are subject to adjustments on account of closed houses and absen- tees, so that, when the final and com- plete reckoning-is made, it is prob- able that the population of the city will be found to be even larger than the 23,096 with which it is credited iz the preliminary count. In comparison with the census of 1911, the increase is worthy of note. In 1911, the census figures gave Kingston's population as 18,874.Now it is 23,096, an Increase of 4,222 or 22.4 per cent. iu ten years. This is an excellent record for a city like Kingston, which has not been visjted by any sensational boom, but has grown steadily and naturally, It is a great imprdvement over the record for the ten years prior to that per- fod, for in 1901, 'the census figures credited Kingston with 17,961 peo- ple. In 1911 there was an increase of 913, or only 5.08 per cent. so that the city has seen its period of great- est development within the last ten Years, In comparison with other cit- ies, this is very satisfactory, for, of those of which reports have so Tar been made, only Brantford, Oshawa and Ottawa, in Ontario, have a bet- ter showing. Stratford, Woodstock and London all show smaller increas- #4, while in Brockville there has ac- pinches us a little to support four high school teachers at "Federation" | With a time for qverything, He has | Prices, but a community that sup- | time for work and has time for play | ports twelve preachers because of our peculiar , little denominational differences and jealousies should not greatly object to supporting a staff of four high school teachers even at the union scale, A gE] An Everlasting Memory 1 She bade me a last farewell, And my heart grew dark and sad. She was my dearest earthly friend, The truest friend I had. It mattered not that her face was old, Tho' her hair was not yet gray; She had a smile that even Death Could never chase away. She was going home, she said, To a land beyond the deep, Where the crooning breeze in the tree-tops Sang her gently there to sleep. 0, Sister, beyond the deep, In that land across the sea, Let that old heart be a friend to you, As she was a friend to me. = She opened the door of my heart, And brought out the best that was there She inspired my heart to be true, As her own was true and fair. O God, help my heart to be pure, To be worthy of Her love, That I may see once more, Her face in that home above. --GRACE M.
