Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-06-15

Back to the slow, dreamy waltz of
days gone BY
Strike up the same adagio tempo
for two-steps, schottishes, gavottes,
and even gallops!
To the rubbish heap with barn"
dances and all such travesties of true
terpsichorean art.
Such is the dictum of the United
Professional Teachers of Dancing in
convention at the Great Northern hotel
in Chicago last week
The frenzied pace at which the
average American lives has well nigh
ruined his conception of the poetry of
motion. Once upon a time dancing
was the embodiment of grace-about
100 years ago. Today it has degen-
Grated in nearly every form to a fran
tic dervish-like whirl, in which is
shadow of poetry.
Back
The professional dancing teachers
shout it in tones of authority. Back
to the days of 1910, that dancing may
not perish off the face of the earth.
A waltzing couple in the average
dance hall today is nothing more than
spinning top whirling in breakneck
fashion until it tires and runs down.
About the evolutions of a two-step
there is as much grace as lies in an
old fashioned jumping jack that flop
ped in spasmodic, jerky fashion up
one side of brace of sticks and down
the other
And as for the barn dance-it
doesn't belong anywhere else.
Dancing must be piloted safely back
to the languorous, lackadaisical mood
that marked the minuets of 100 years
ago.

Gay street. The election was made
to fill the vacancy made in that office
by the death of Rev. A. N. McEwen,
who on account of failing health was
prevented from entering actively
upon his work.
The committee elected the Rev. S.
E. Griggs, of this city, by promoting
him from the assistant or field secre-
tary to the secretaryship. At the
meeting were Rev. T. J. Searcy, of
Memphis, Chairman of the Board;
Revs 3. M. Lawrence and VIM.
Haynes, Treasurer of the Board, who
make up the Committee of manage
ment.
Rev. Griggs has been at work since
the last annual meeting of the
National Baptist Convention, but
will now start out according to re-
ports to bring about the actual To-
eating of the much-talked of and
long authorized National Theological
Seminary. DR.. Searcy is quoted as
having given out while here a state
ment that the seminary would GER
tainly open in October of this year.
The plan is to raise at least $4,000 in
cash and perhaps $4,000 by Septem-
Der, so as to get the $4,000 promised
some three years ago by the Home Mis-
sion Society of New York. EEdu-
cational rallies are to be held in all
parts of the United States to get this
sum of money. Five of these meet
ings are planned for Tennessee and
as many in the other states. Rev.
Mr.. Griggs' ability as a speaker of
note and a writer is expected to help
him much in this new work which he
takes up.

ing upon DR.. Griggs' recent visit to
that city in the interest of his work
had the following to say concerning
his address there before his peo-
pie. Sutton E. Griggs, who spoke

DR.. AND MRS. PHILLIPS SEND
CARD OF THANKS.

Through the columns of the Globe,
which goes into nearly every Nash
vile home, we wish to speak just
word to our friends.
During the recent celebration of
our matrimonial rites friends were
indeed kind to us, and especially
those of Nashville. Generously and
graciously they remempered us by
tokens and other good expressions.
The shipment, however, of the for
mer to this city left Nashville many
weeks ago, but was delayed and only
reached us a few days ago. Hence
when it did arrive, with the names of
donors, etc., it was rather late to send
acknowledgment cards, so through
the columns of this journal we wish
to extend our heartfelt thanks to one
and all. The deepest gratitude of
both of us goes out to them for the
tokens and other expressions of re-
membrance.
And finally, with our very best re-
CARDS we are still the grateful recip-
tents.

classed as probably the strongest Ne
gro speaker who has ever appeared
in the city. He talked along practical
lines and yet his e,oquence was burn
ing. Among the white men who heard
DR.. Griggs yesterday afternoon was
DR.. r. w. Park, and the latter said
this morning: 1t was without doubt
one of the best talks l have ever
heard. Dr. Griggs is a speaker Of
great force, very much in earnest and
he ought to do a great good among
the Negroes. He carries his audience
with him all the way and is really one
of the few Negro great orators have
heard.
DR.. Griggs' new position does not
necessitate his leaving the city, as the
headquarters of the board are to be
in Nashville, where he will continue
his residence. His full time will be
given to his new work. With the con-
sent of the First Baptist Church, East
Nashville, of which he has been pas
tor for the last ten years, he will have
an assistant who will take care of
the interests of the church while he
devotes himself to the work of the
board.

If one is to judge the success of the
the efforts put forth by the people of
Nashville, who are at work trying to
raise sufficient bonus to have the In
dustrial and Normal School located
somewhere in Davidson County by the
activity of the business men, who are
at work and who have almost doubled
their efforts in the past ten days, they
would readily conclude that the state
officials or whoever has the power of
locating the school, would give 1t to
Nashville as a reward for the good
work being done along this line.
Meeting after meeting has been held
in such rapid succession that every
plan now for a successful canvass OF
the city and county is complete. At
least 100 men and women are said to
be ready to open the subscription cam
paign on Monday morning. The can
vass will last ten days, and the aim
is to raise $4,000 by subscription or
pledges, which money Is to be used
to purchase a farm and buildings to
be held as inducements to the Board
of Education to secure the school for
Middle Tennessee. A house to house
canvass is to be made; subscriptions
and pledges from one dollar up to a
thousand or more will be accepted by
the canvassing committee, who is au-
thorized to take only subscriptions and
pledges in writing on blanks, now be-
ing prepared for them.
Daily reports of each canvasser are
to be made to the headquarters of the
committee, which will be at the office
of Taylor Company, undertakers,
449 Fourth ave, North A large sign
or some devise showing how the goal
Is being reached will be hung on the
front of the building. Everybody is
expected to help make the effort a
success. The campaign is to close
with a rousing mass-meeting at the
Ryman Auditorium on the following
Sunday. All will be invited to come
and hear the final results. Every
church in the city with it's pastor
and church choir is expected to attend,
in fact, the Methodist and Baptist
Minister'S Conferences have endorsed
the entire plan, promising their full
support All of this is said to mean
much for the educational interest of
Nashville and Middle Tennessee.
