Advocates Dancing in Schools.


Mrs. Harrlette Taylor TreadwelI. Of
Chicago, who is connected with the public
schools of that city, was seen recs ntly al

scout movement which is being intro

not need the Boy Scouts: make the schools
more hOmcIIkC. and all the training in
patriotism the boy NJ. dS will be supplied.
To make the public schools the means
to the greatest good, certain things are
needed. Children have an innate taste
FOR excitement and inevitably must seek
It. We should have school dances, under
proper instruction. to satisfy the desire
Of children for dancing and overcome

trees and rocks and real nature about

VIEWS AND
INTERVIEWS
Hustler a Failure.

Judging the American hustler from
my observations of him in his own coun-
try said Joseph Lyons, painter, novel
list, dramatiSt, and one of the greatest
hustlers of England, when recently seen,
Il should say that the American hustler
shows d lack of adoption of means to
ends. because he puts more mental, ply
steal, and nervous energy into his work
at all times than it demands. Regarded
as a machine. he is not an economical
one. He breaks down and has to be
laid up for repairs too often He tries
to do everything too fast.
He ruins his digestion by eating too
fast; he plays havoc with his nerves BY
trying to work too fast. | hold that Il
man pays much more for his success
than his success is worth-no matter
how many millions it Representation
ii demands of him the expenditure of
all his powers and leaves him no time,
inclination. or energy for the exercise of
his faculties or talents in other direc
tions.
The typical American. the hustlins
American, never seems to be satisfied.
as most Englishmen are, with what
might lie called moderate success. Tho
Englishman who is doing fairly well in
business looks forward, not to accumu-
ldtlnS Il huge fortune. but to retiring
from business altogether when nc has
accumulated enough to keep him in COM
fort the rest OF his days. Generally
he aims at ultimately buying an estate
IN the country, where ne can take life
easy and devote himself TO some hobby"
