Know any kids who are into scouting? Do you think they'd be interested in corresponding with other scouts around the world, many of whom don't speak English? The Skolta Esperanto-Ligo is organized to help them do exactly that, using the international language Esperanto. For more information, write: SEL, Postbus 433, NL-1500 EK Zaandam, The Netherlands. Learning enough Esperanto for simple correspondence should be a matter of a few weeks of occasional spare-time study. The simplest way to get started with Esperanto is by the free correspondence course offered by the Esperanto Information Center. The course is easy enough that reasonably bright kids of middle school age and above shouldn't have too much trouble with it, especially not if an adult is taking it with them. For the first lesson, send an SASE to: Verda Stelo, 410 Darrell Road, Hillsborough, CA 94010, USA; or reply to me by e-mail for an ascii version. --- Prentiss Riddle ("Aprendiz de todo, maestro de nada.") --- {ihnp4,harvard,seismo,gatech}!ut-sally!riddle riddle@ut-sally.UUCP --- riddle@ut-sally.ARPA, riddle%zotz@ut-sally, riddle%im4u@ut-sally
