AlfUsEnENTs OF THE PEOPLE.

The Committee on Amusements for Working
Girls, Of which Mrs. Charles H. Israels is chair
man. is calling attention to long standing and
generally recognized abuse III bringing dance
halls again before the public notice. The very
name has come to have an evil connotaton. But
the committee has more TO offer than certain
suggestions for legislation. It proposes construc-
tive action in the establishment of model dance
halls These like the model tenements and the
model lodging houses built in recent years, are
intended not as philanthr0pic but as business
venture, with the expectation of dividends.
They to be conducted under such super
vision as to be safe and proper places of amuse-
ment for working girls The expectation is to
show that bad dance halls do not succeed be-
cause they are evil, but because there is a real
demand for places of innocent amusement, and
that their corruption is only an incident, and not
an unavoidable incident.
The movement is notable because it ap-
proaches the popular amusement problem, which
has thousand phases in this city, from sound
point Of view. It recognizes that the dance hall
is necessary, that the young working girls of
this city, which offers them so few opportuni-
ties for amusement and social diversion, must
have among other things, places where they can
meet and dance with young men and women of
their own kind and it proposes that safe and
proper facilities for this reasonable social inter-
course shall be provided. And, unlike many
similar movements, 1t does not-at least it does
not yet-ask the city TO provide what it Justly
regards as a real need.
The question regarding dance halls is ike
the question regarding almost every one Of the
amusements of the people. It was recently
raised in respect to the moving picture shows
These were widely patronized Were they ex-
erting a corrupt influence? Had they proper
safeguards? The answer seems to have been
that they SbOuld be closed on general nriucinles
as far as was legally practicable But the an
swer to the question how TO treat these popular
amusements which are constantly springing up
in answer TO the Inevitable demand cannot al
ways be 'elose, close. close" The needs of
human nature have to be looked at squarey
and opportunities for the less favored have to
be carefully considered. For better morals
