| What's Esperanto for "Girl Scouts"? |
It’s not clear how one goes from “Washington’s Birthday” to “Esperanto,” but the article notes that the Philadelphia girl scouts had taken up Esperanto with something of a passion, and they were going to use this celebration as an excuse to display their skills. The Girl Scouts were a new organization at the time, only having the name since 1913.[1] The Universal Esperanto Association was somewhat older, as it had been founded in 1908. Esperanto was just past its thirtieth birthday, and its creator, Dr. Ludovik Zamenhof, had died the year previously.
