Dancing In Schools

Dancing is the latest "exercise ,,

added to the New York public school
curriculum.
The Wadleigh high school, the new

having a roll call Of nearly 5000, has
a dancing class every day in the week
for some division, and the casual Wis
itor is struck by the wide awake ex-
pressions of the pupils faces as com.
pared with the dreamy or wandering
or tired looks Of the children in the
class rooms.
The wholesome, athletic young wo.
man instructor is very enthusiastic
over the innovation.
"We begin the first year with the
merely elementary steps like those
any one who has ever attended
dancing school are familiar with-the
point step, the change step and the
combination as in the polka" she ex-
planned with animation. "We have a
regular mazurka series, schottische,
the Highland fling, and besides these
the advanced pupils learn many Of the
folk dances, the Irish, Swedish, Ger
man, which introduce a number Of 9TH
er steps, many Of them with symbolic
meaning.
"In seeing these dances and learn
ing them girl also learns great
deal about the people, the differences
in national traits, methods Of living
and thought, but that is, Of course,
merely incidental and outside Of the
regular class work. The course takes
only 35 minutes twice a week, not
long time to spend on physical deveL
opment, surely not enough to cause
hue and cry, and surely not enough to
do the girls any harm"
While the girls changed from the
mazurka steps to the Highland fling,
which gave them an opportunity TO use
arms and legs with a little more Wig
or, IL not grace, some Of the teachers
expressed their views on the subject Of
this feature of educational work.
"It is absurd-the old idea, that
education consisted Of certain

geography, spelling and

cation is the harmonious development
Of every part, and our experience
with the gymnasium work in the
school is that the physical helps the
mental very much.
CATER the girl has been studying
for a while the drill in dancing and
with the apparatus helps her, and she
goes back to the desk with her blood
circulating properly, her brain invig-
grated, and she takes up the sum she
laid down in discouraged mood with
a renewed power Of application"

Farcical or Brutal

Elsewhere In The Star are printed some
additional condemnations of the whipping
post as legal penalty by men and women
whose experience and trained observation
give weight to their opinions.
There Is, however. one dissenter Major
Sylvester, superintendent of police. has
been known for years as an advocate of
corporal punishment. In today's statement
Major Sylvester admits that the police have
originated every advanced measure for tho
humane treatment of prisoners of modern
times and have also rescued the sick and
provided for the hungry from their own
pockets in many instances; and he en-
deavors to reason away the unbounded sur
prise of the public that these profound
thinkers and tender-hearted philanthropists
of the force should favor the barbaric and
brutal lash by explaining that the police
would not by any means re-establish the
inhuman practices of the middle ages He
does not favor the whipping post and lash
but "a spanker." He would not tear flesh
and bring blood, but merely spank His
purpose would be humiliation rather than
pain. BY spanking he would appeal to the
spark or vestige of manhood left in the
man. not treating him as incorrigibly
brutal.
In the first stage of the Sylvester rose

would perhaps smack real hard some non

use of the Brockway paddle. 1t is difficult
to believe however. that the most hardened
ruffian could resist the softening and civil

from being spanked by Major Sylvester.

The logical advocate of the whipping
penalty is he who urges and defends the
EXTREMIST infection Of pain and shame of
which the punishment is capable. The
motive is revengeful retaliation in kind
upon brute to terrify him from repeat
Ing his brutality. AS preliminary wife
beating is declared the objectionable sin;
the wife-beater is beyond the hope of ref
ormation. Nothing will appeal to him, it
is asserted, but pain inflicted upon his
body and the threat of pain aimed at his
cowardly fears. OF course. the callous,
hardened, thick-skinned brute must be
more brutally beaten than the delicate.

him to feel the same pain that she has

Child Labor in the District.

feeling seems to exist in Washington
that there is little need of the passage of
bill to regulate or prevent the employment
of child labor in the District, for the reason

but that it is the duty of every community.
whether now afflicted with this social men,
ace not, to provide against future posi-
bilities. A meeting was held in this city
yesterday afternoon for the purpose of gath
ering the forces which are now working to
this end. 1t was held under favorable aus
pices and attended by men and women
whose presence indicated a strong interest
in and desire to work for the solution of
this problem. Bills are now pending in both
houses of Congress directed to the question
in terms which promise that the District
will get that which is always urgently to be
desired, model law. But it is somewhat
humiiating to know that 1t Is one of the
few remaining communities in the United
States without legislation Of this character.
There are, it is estimated, about LOGO chill
dren below the age of fourteen years now
employed in wage-earning occupations in
the District. Every one of those children
should be in school. acquiring the rudinents
of education necessary to equip it for the
later fight for existence and betterment.
The pitiful wages earned by these little ones
are no compensation whatever for their
mental and moral losses. Whether they are
kept at work through the necessities of
parents or greed of employers, or because
of their own disinclination to study the law
should intervene to restrain all such enter
prises and to establish firm standard for
the control of this vitality important matter.
The differences between the pending bills
are not serious. Their adjustment is easily

John Mitchell.

The labor convention at Indianapolis did
well yesterday in supporting John Mitchell
against the scurrilous attack of a western
delegate. Mr.. Mitchell has made an eX-
cellent impression on the country. and has
accomplished much good for organized
labor. He is the sort Of man 1T should
keep at the forefront and in charge of its
highest interests. 1t is impossible to please
everybody, and there are always some
people whose approval Is undesirable AL
success is attended in their eyes with sus-
picion as to the means of its achievement.
Hence the charge in this case that MI.
Mitchell has sold out to the capitalists and
has their ends In view more than those Of
labor. He is so well equipped for his
work and enjoys such high credit in 1t, his
place could not easily be filled.

AS things go in this country at the pres

are both poor men. There were abundant
political reasons for electing them. Mr..
Beyeridge has for years been one of the ma
tional leaders of his party. So inevitable
was his selection that no one thought of
any one else. or of contrasting his claim. Mr..
Hemenway, too, has earned the place by
honorable and faithful public service. No
man will wonder how either of these
gentlemen happened" to be chosen. There
is nothing mysterious about the selection of
either one of them. The legislature simply
did the natural and obvious thing. So we
congratulate the new senator's, and we also
congratulate the people of the state.

Cheer UP, John Sharp Williams.

From the New York World.
Leading politically demoralized minority
in the House of Representatives is often
discouraging business. The leader Is likely
at any time to find that his followers are
not following. 1t is not strange that John
Sharp Williams has become weary Titan
who would gladly thrown down his burden.
But Mr. Williams has been an excellent
leader. Under his leadership the minority
has arisen to the dignity of a real opposi-
ton, and a real opposition was never more
needed In the government than it is now.
The democratic representatives cannot do
better than to give Mr.. Williams vote of
confidence by refusing to accept his resig-
nation. He needs little human sympathy
in his troubles.
