Informs us that be had written this ar
tlcle Just the evening before he received
the HERALD of two weeks ago, and
was amused at the similarity between
his and paragraph on the same sub

that time:
"A somewhat extended opportunity
for observation leads us TO the irresis-
tible conclusion that there is connected
with dancing certain fascination.
which. together with anticipations Of
and preparations for the approaching
party, and the excitement and dissipa-
ton attending it, produce condition
OF mental disturbance wholly incompa-
tible with the best scholarship. and
those who indulge to any extent in this
direction are rarely found amongst
those who stand highest in class or
school.
Attendance upon dancing school in
term time is open to most of the same
objections, and teachers and schools are
often made TO bear the blame for evils
for which these are responsible.
Parents who are DESTROYS of having
their children make good healthy pro-
gress with their school work should re-
mand the others to vacations If they are
to be allowed at all.
Those who dance must pay the
fiddler in one form or another, and
