A DOCTOR OF DIVINITY PREsIDEs AT A
SCHOOL DANSANTE.
Dancing has been taught in the public
schools of Dundee since January, 1892.
Its introduction was the occasion of q
somewhat prolonged controversy in the
school board and was carried by g small
majority. And perhaps it may still pc
considered in the light of an experiment.
As in Aberdeen it is taught by teachers
appointed by the school board and under
their supervision. Fees are charged by
the lesson-three pence per lesson in the
elementary schools and four and e-haif
pence in the higher. One-third OF these
schools, piano and for lighting, heating,
etc. The remainder goes to the dancing
teacher
In Aberdeen the fee OF the dancing
teacher is H5 per quarter or term.
At the Dansante given by the school
children in Dundee the Rev. DR.. Grant OF
the Established church of Scotland and
member OF the school board was in the
chair. The dansante was in the city as
sembly rooms from 5:45 to S:45 pm.
Aberdeen and Dundee are as yet the
only towns in Scotland where dancing is
taught IN the public schools and under
the supervision of the school board, but
other towns are discussing it as regular

And here the veteran was peacefully

After the Indian club drill they took
flying leaps at the wooden horse, clearing
it, touching it with their feet, turning
summersaults in their Hight, and as they
stood flushed and ardent, asked the
head master if the boys liked dancing as
we'll as gymnastics, and he replied: Yes,
quite as well.'' Dancing is taught two
terms of the school year, from August to
Misunderstanding and cookery. The re-

breathlessly, and springing from his horse
with his gun he forgot all prudence in his
excitement.
Throwing the bridle-reins over Pinto's
back, he began stealthily to creep through

he found the ground SO well tracked over
as to prove it a deer's stamping place.
From that spot the boy started out in

The Taurus intended to stop at the Clan
