For a great majority Of our young
people in the cities the dance halls
provide the only regular amusement
they can afford, where any man who
has the price can step up to any
young woman and ask her to dance.
No wonder such places become re-
cruiting places for vice.

between the church and the saloon?
Every school should be arranged so
that in the evening the young folks
could gather there for games, folk
dancing classes, music, athletics.

"All the young folks want is op-
portunity to meet under proper envt-

men how to make love, or young
women how to listen to them, but we
owe it to the race not to hinder or
pervsrt their natural tendencies by
improper environment"

lures Of the annual report Of the

In his Introduction to the report
the commissioner discusses the wide
discrepancy between the increase in
the number of children OF school age
and the actual enrolment: an appar-
ent reduction in teachers salaries
during the year, the remarkable in
crease in high schools and high school
enrolment throughout the country;
the decrease in professional schools,
due to the enforcement OF higher
standards lack OF preparation of
teachers, which DR. Claxton Charac-
terizes as "one OF the greatest evils
Of our school systems" the shortness
OF the school term IN the United
States as compared with other civil
lied nations; and the abnormally
large percentage OF illiteracy in the
rural districts.

The play is built upon thoroughly

That thought intangible and evan

portrayal upon the stage has been ne
