splendid work being done here by
Miss Elizabeth Burchenal, who, by the
way, is related to William Dean How
ellis, in teaching the slum children folk
dancing. Last summer Miss Burche-
nal went to England to get hold of the
Morris dances and quaint aid English
games. l wonder if her seach for
these Morris dancers had anything to
do with the revival of these dances in
England just now?
An association has been formed to
revive these folk dances and to teach
the English children of the slums to
dance them, just as Miss Burchenal is
teaching little East Side New Workers.
to dance them. One curious feature
Of the English movement is that the
meadow dances are learned by chill
dren who have no meadows on which
to dance hem, and city children are ta-
Ike nto the country children to show
the latter how to dance these outdoor
dances. Sounds like our Country
Life Commission, does it not?
