EEEEcr % THE DANCE.

In a suggestive paragraph Hugo
Munsterberg points out some OF the
unwholesome effects OF too great de
votion to the dance. That there are
many good influences, he also believes,
but there is danger which should be
guarded against. Says the writer:
The overemphasis on dancing has
usually characterized a period OF po-
litical reaction. of Indifference to pub
lie life, of social stagnation and care
lessness. When the volcanoes were
rumbling the masses were always
dancing. At all times when tyrants
wanted to divert the attention OF the
crowd they gave the dances to their
people. A nation whic hdances can
not think, but lives from hour to hour.
The less political maturity the more
happiness does national community
show in it's dancing pleasures. The
Spaniards and the Polish. the Hungar-
ian and the Bohemians have always
been the great dancers-the gypstes
dance. There is no fear that the New
Workers will suddenly stop reading
their newspapers and voting at the
primaries; they will not become Span
iards. But an element of this psycho'
logical effect of carelessness and reck'
tlessness and stagnation may influ'
ence them after all and may shade the
papers which they read and even the
primaries at which they do vote.

PUBLIC HEALTH.

Several state universities are ex-
| tending the service Of their medical
! departments into the vast field Of
public health. Now the people of the
state have a right to expect their
medical college will do its full share
in spreading information concerning
the causes Of diseases and the most
efficient means Of preventing them.
The state universities Of Missouri.
Minnesota and Iowa are attempting
to meet the demand for wider and
more direct service on the part OF
the medical department of the univer-
sity. They are sending equipped men
| into various parts Of the state to
talk on public health and the proven
ton of disease and distributing bulle-
| tins and articles written in simple
style on vital health topics. These
universities recognize that skill in
the prevention Of disease can only
| be possible when the people have an
appreciation Of the great task that
must be accomplished. That is, the
people themselves must learn how to
save themselves from the preventable
diseases. A man who has appendt-
citis needs no skill in order to get
surgical treatment. If the surgeon
is skillful the patient may be ever SO
| ign orant of surgical procedures. But
the prevention of typhoid fever, tu-
berculosis and other communicable
diseases depend largely on the de-
velopment Of kind of skill on the
part of the people.
| It is clear then that the education
al facilities of the medical depart
ment of the university must be en-
ployed in accomplishing this great
work.

THE PRICE THEY PAY.

No tasty scanning Of official statis-
tics can give anything like an ade-
quate idea of the awful burden Of
debt under which the nations OF
Europe are staggering. To appreciate
them they must be subjected to cold
analysis.
Year after year these national debts
keep piling higher and higher without
one ray OF hope that the future may
bring about a happier situation.
The Statesman's Year Book for
1913, published in London, and recog-
nized as statistical authority, places
the United Kingdoms gross national
debt at s724,061, SAT sum equivalent
to 620,3O9,735. The French debt, at
the last obtaipable reckoning, amount
ed to s6,511,579,9 Russia's national
debt in 1913 was s4,222, s5s,Sso. Add
these sums and we find that the total

HAVING ANCESTORS.

DR.. Frank Crane says he hasn't
kept track Of all his ancestors, but
that he is proud Of them. Here is the
way he puts it:
NV father and mother each had q

grandfathers and two grandmothars
which makes four.

Mo AsoR DAY PARADE.

For the first time in thirty years,
there will be no Labor day parade in
New York City this fall. The labor
unions have decided to take the
money the parade would cost and use
It to relieve unemployed union men.
In times past, in New York City,
MANY thousands of union men have
marched on the first Monday in Sep
TENDER. Their parades have been
spectacular. No money was spared
in making them a success. The horses
in the parade were union-shod and
the men union-equipped. There were
union bands and union badges. There
we're union-made uniforms and union
refreshments. So that the expense to
the union men for their Labor day
parade, in one way Or another, led to
an expenditure running into a great
sum of money. All this is to be fore
gone this year and the unions, very
comm ndably, will turn the money to
help their unemployed brothers.
This instance Of practical charity on
the part of union organizations Is at
tracing wide attention over the coun-
trv and has caused considerable COM
ment, especially in view Of President
Wilson's statement that the hard
times are purely psychological"
One good natured workingman says
he Is "sure getting psychological pay
checks" He also says he is buying
psychological shoes and probably
will soon be eating out Of "psycholo-
gfcal dinner pail"
