novels originally written in the new language.

Mrs. CRAFTS. May I say a word right here? I hold in my hand the New
Testament, published by the British and Foreign Bible Society together
with the Scotch Bible Society. It is a translation from Nestle's Greek
Testament, and the Old Testament is now being translated by one of the
most eminent Hebrew scholars in the world.

Prof. CHRISTEN. Here is the next item, which I would like to read to
you:

Evening classes for the study of Esperanto under the auspices of
the L.C.C. (London county council) are being held at the Halstow
Road Nonvocational Institute, Greenwich, S.E., on Thursday,
7.30-9.30 p.m., and at Bloomfield Road Commercial Institute,
Plumstead, S.E., on Fridays, 7.20-10.50 p. m. Instructor Mr.
William H. Dennis, B.D.E.A., 108, Eglinton Road, Plumstead,
S.E., from whom any information may be obtained. These classes
are designed especially to meet the requirements of the serious
student, beginner or advanced. (10)

That is from London. Then I have another quotation which I want to read
from Edinburgh:

The chief constable of Edinburgh has interested himself in Esperanto,
especially in view of the 1915 congress. The chief constable has
ordered a copy of "Esperanto For All," to be sent to the 650 members
of the Edinburgh police force, with a recommendation that the police
learn the language. A class for policemen is being arranged, for
which 14 names have been received.
