65 IN THE GALLDACH1.
I promised my friend, Mairin Bheag, who wrote to me a couple of weeks ago from Cork, that in future every week (as long as there is need for it) part of my address to the buachailli and cailini of Eire Og would be in the Bearla, so that those who are only now commencing the study of Ar dTeanga Fein may not be left out in the cold, gazing at us, yearningly, as we march along. "\Vouldn't it be better," wrote Mairin, " to take us with you, even though you must speak a few words of English to us now and then, than to leave us behind, perhaps to drift away from Eire Og altogether ? " That appeal could not be resisted-though I had no fear of " losing altogether " a cailin of such spirit as Mairin Bheag must be-and so I made up my mind to have a little chat week by week with the buachailli and cailini in the English-

The Advertierss
speaking parts of the country :"h� as yet have not got sufficient knowledge of Insh to enable them to write to me in it, or to understand every word of my " cuid cainnte." I shall set now and then an easy competition in which they can take part (such as the one I annour1:ce this week), and I shall allow them also to wnte to me in English until such time as they are able to write all they want to say to me in our own language. I should like to hear from them their views on all matters in which they are interested-their school work, for instance, the books they read, the games they play, any Irish-Ireland ent�rtainment or festival which may be held in their neighbourhood, accounts of pilgrimages they have made to places of historic interest in their native district, and all the other things which should have a live interest for the buachailli and cailini of Eireann. They need not be afraid that their letters will weary me, or think that because I am an old man living in a city, I cannot feel interested in and enthusiastic about the things which claim the affection and attention of young people. In matters of this kind I am as young as I was a quarter of a century ago, and the greatest delight this world holds for me is to sit in the midst of a group of Irish-hearted boys and girls listening to their confidences and feeling the glow of their grand enthusiasm lighting up the old heart of me as the blessed summer sunshine warms and gladdens the hillside or plain that has been battered and famished and made miserable by the rains and snows and So my young friends cold winds of winter. may make me their old friend; they need not be afraid to speak whatever is in their minds I when they sit down to write me a letter. shall publish only what they will not be ashamed to see in print, and they may depend upon me to help and encourage them all I can. And now for our competition. It is one in which all our members-that is every IrishIreland buachaill and cailin under 19 years It is a competition of age-may take part. for those in the Gaedhealtach t as well as for those in the Galldacht, and I am anxiously and eagerly looking forward to it myself. I shall award a handsome pri�e to the sender of the "BEST LIST OF BOOKS SUITABLE FOR AN IRISH HOME LIBRARY," and I may be able to award a couple of special prizes as well. By an Irish Home Library I mean the collection of books which should be found in every Irish home. All lists must reach me on or befo1'e Saturday, August 27th. Each competitor must cut out and send along with his or her letter the coupon which will be found at the bottom of this page. Lists or letters written on foreign paper will not be attended to. Only those under 19 years of All letters to be age are entitled to compete. addressed :-
