President Guliek, Of Camp Fire Girls,
Says Present Movements Can
Be Overcome.
CHILDREN TO BE INSTRUCTED

The movement begun in Washington to
preserve the music Of the American In
dams and that centering in New York

by a movement aiming at the preserva-
ton Of the American folk dances. DR..

ther II. Gulick, of New York, president
OF the Camp Fire Girls. together with
Prof Louis II. Shalif. OF New York.
member of the folk dancing committee
OF the Playground and Recreation AS
sociation of America. have taken the lead
in this campaign of education.
There will be two phases of activity
at first, the preparation Of teachers In
the Normal School In New Vol and the
instruction directly Of children who use
the city Fairgrounds.
This is the right way to bring about
good and beautiful dancing" declares
Dr. Gulick. We are in the midst Of a
wave of ugly, vulgar dancing. 1t is as
foolish 10 try TO stop it by legal and
other repressive measures at II Is to
try to stop the wind by erecting fences.
This dance wave came upon us as re-
suit OF the deadly uniformity Of the
two-step and waltz. Fresh interest has
been needed, and now is found.
What We need to do is to provide
dances that are more beautiful and at
tractive than those of the present day"
