So he fills the minds of his pupils
with various ideas and makes them
express those ideas in bodily move
ments. Rhythm is one of the chief
studies. Most of the girls in the
school, as they dance, can beat two
step time with one arm, and waltz
time with the other. move the head
to schottische time, and stimuli
taneously dance polka.
AS you see hundred girls perform
one of these complicated dances, you
forget their extraordinary attires.
''The attire these girls wear has
naturally grown out of their Dances"
Jacques-Dalcroze tells you.
First 1 began with boomers, worn
under skirts. The idea of our school
is physical liberty, and when some of
the girls began to leave off their
skirts, 1 made no objection to their
dancing in boomers. Then some of
them found that they could dance
better in bare feet, and they began
to leave off their stockings. The
boomers gradually became smaller
and smaller until they disappeared,
and the girls themselves, without any
advice or direction from the chiefs
of the school, finally adopted the
tricot.
"In doing this they have not lost
one bit of their modesty, but great
deal-of their FALSE modesty has
gone" -
There are about a dozen different
American girls in the school, and all
of them intend to go back to the
United States to introduce jacques
Dalcroze's system.

REVISE ROAD WORKING PLANS
Commissioners will make changes to
meet requirements Of law abolish
ing township government.

The county commissioners have this
week had a big lot of work aside from
routine Of business to attend to.
The law effective October 3rd this
year which abolished township govern
ment in this and many other Oklahoma
Counties. also calls for revision Of
the road working plans of the county.
The different township officers had
their reports in to the commissioners
this week accompanied by all town
ship moneys in their possession, which
entailed lot of work to check up.
The new law provided that the
board of county commissioners shall
select one or more road overseers in
each township, and pay them a salary
not to exceed so per day for the time
they put in on road work. The law
also provides that every male citizen
between the ages of 81 and so years
shall work four days each year on the
public roads of his township, or pay
the equivalent in cash to pay a sub
stitute which is $500. Many COM
plants have been received that large
per cent of the people have neither
worked the roads ror paid the $500
but It is the intention of the commits
sicners to see that the law in this re-
spect is strictly adhered to, and road
overseers will be employed who will
see that every man does his part.
If every man within the age limits
works four days per year on the roads
of his township. and the oveIseer II
a systematic worker, there is no ex-
cuse in the world for any very bad
roads in this county.

WOULD INCORPORATE ALBANY

Many opposed 10 II.

At the meeting OF the county com
missioners this week petition was
presented signed by twenty-tour cit
izens of Albany, Oklahoma. asking
that that town be Incorporated, and
the board set December third as the
day for hearing the matter. Another
petition bearing thirty-seven sigma
lures prayed that the town be not in
corporated.
There seems to be split at Albany
on the proposition, one part of the
people favoring, the other opposing in
corporation. The OPPONENTS contend
that the Incorporation Of the town
would call for the election of a mayor
chief of police, city clerk, town coun-
Gil, etc, and would therefore greatly
increase the taxes of the people
whereas 1t would be OF no practical
value whatever to the town as a whole
or to the people individually.
