EXHIBITION
AT MARGARET ALLEN SCHOOL.

Next Wednesday afternoon at 1 30 o'clock
the patrons and a limited number of
friends of the Margaret Allen school will
witness an interesting demonstrations of
the physical culture as taught in the
institution by Mr.. ]. e. Miles. This will
be given In the recreation hall. AS with
the children giving their exercises on the
floor there will be little room for spec

Three years ago DR. Luther II. Gulick

into these requirements of childhood car

and there he discovered solution of the
problem. In the early folk dances of
the nations, DR.. Gul'ck found the sim

children naturally express and these
dances he introduced into the public
schools of New York: also into the play

many points had to be considered. One of
the principals of selection is activity.
The majority of individuals should be

her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles o..

counted it one of the happiest.
It was typical of st. Valentines day.
The residence was hung with crimson
hearts, and in the dining room red carna-
lions followed the color idea generally
adopted as appropriate to the occasion.

of gesture are such as to justify the state

else the practical use of the muscles; the
acme of pieasurable emotion, and the
satisfaction Of the esthetic sense This is
true of the folk Dances They are the
ideal natural form of exercise. Moreover
they are simple, pretty and enjoyable and
give body control as nothing else does
Only few years ago the dance was used
ip the gymnasium simply as a means of
exercise. Beyond this it was not seen to
have any place in the school. But as soon
as the dance was studied in primitive life,
and its function and relation to the other
factors of life were discovered, 1t was
seen to have significance far beyond its
first use in the school.
To appreciate the meaning of the dance,
it is necessary to understand the part
that gesture, as a language, has played
in the development of the race Until
very recent times we thought of the al
phabet as the starting point for language,
and did not look for an earlier mode of
expression. Now we realize that there is
another language, made UP of initiative
movements, which precedes verbal speech.
These more elemental signs are what
interest us when We attmpt to under
stand the dance, for the dance is but
the expression of "A mood; or story
told through the medium of pantomimic
action. The common events of the daily
life are the subject for many dances.
'Gossiping Ella is a pungent little drama.
Bounding Heart suggests in it's title
the glad, wild form of the dance. There
are the war dances, the religious dances
and the occupation dances all citing the
familiar experiences of life. Fragments
of many Of the old dramas have been
handed down in the games of children.
We have thought walking, running, skip
ping, leaping and whirling such common
every Ida v occurrences in the child's happy
life, that we have failed TO observe how
the mind constantly expresses various
states and degrees of feeling and thought
through these movements. The express
sion of grief in the young is often over
