The general review Of the year in As

faction to all. Notwithstanding that
the hardest times ever known on the
coast prevailed during the entire year;
that there was a protracted fishermen's
strike which cost the city and county
thousands Of 1ollar1, yet the advance

Of lew buildings, work on the railroad,

AN ANSWER
Is Made to the Question OF Social
Dancing.

Astoria, January S.-(Editor Astorian)
In your issue Of January find an
article upon the subject Of dancing
which is worthy OF more than passing
notice, and which l shall be pleased to
consider in your columns IL Il be agree
able to you. While the article on the
whole is very profitable readlng-not
only for the facts set forth, but also on
account Of its admirable literary style
and easy diction-yet 1t seems to the
writer Of these lines that there is fault
in the reasoning TO which attention
should be called.
Il anticipate that II. s. l." views
his subject from only one standpoint
his Own-and that he Is a man whose
habits Of though and activity are such
that he could not possibly find enjoy
ment in the pleasurable art Of dancing.
His conclusions are very good for one
Of his incllnations, but It takes all
kinds Of people to make up a world and
it is questionable whether It would be
best to have all Of one turn Of mind
and all POSSESSED Of the characteristics
Of H. s. L."
Our friend sets forth statistics that
show that out Of twenty-eight ladies Of
a certain community fourteen danced
and fourteen were nOn-dancers. He
states that the non-dancers married
better. were more successful, reared
better families, and lived happier lives
than those who danced. The conclusion
drawn is that the one class dancing
and the other class abstalning made the
difference, and We are given to under
stand that the same results would uni
versally follow the same circumstances.
The reasoning, 1t seems, Is faulty in
several particulars. rule so general
in its nature can not well be drawn
from the particular cases cited. 1t may
follow that dancing was Injurious to
some Of those fourteen girls, though
that may be questioned, yet It does not
follow that dancing is or will be in
furious to all girls. Prof Baker, Of
Harvard, condemns this style Of rea-
soning and characterizes It as one
phase Of the faliacy. ignoring the ques-
ton. 1t will be noticed that our friend
he's not in reality discussed the subject
OF dancing, but has given US a disserta-
tion upon the abuse Of dancing The
whole trend Of the argument shows
that. and the conclusion drawn should
be changed accordingly. 50 that not
dancing itself. but excessive dancing,
is TO be condemned.
Dancing is the result Of mental and
