I have so often been asked by anxious
mothers If / approve of sending the
children to dancing school-and some OF
them have been shocked because l ad-
vised them to have their children taught
to dance-that 1 am going to make that
the subject of our discussion today.
In the first place. let me say. there are
dancing schools and dancing schools
There Is the semi-fashionable dancing
school where the children of well-to-do
people are sent by the dozen to learn the
manners of so-called good society. These
children often go wrong when they
reach the age of adolescence, and then
people say:
What could you expect? He (or she)
is a dancing-school product" 1t really
is not the dancing school that is to
blame, but the fact that these children
often have been allowed no other means
of amusement-no other play for their
natural instincts. They have been
brought up to be miniature men and
women: expected TO behave as grown
ups; forbidden to romp and play in the
dirt like any other natural. healthy AMI
NAL does. They are dressed and tended
and led about like dolls or. more accu-
rately. toy dogs. An artificial standard
of behavior is forced upon them. and in
consequence only one instinct has oppor-
tunity for free development-the sex in
stinct
We parents must realize that a boy of
twelve is not a man in miniature; he is
no more a man than a dog Is a cow! And
our girls. too: they are not grown wom-
en-. with a woman's self-control and
quiescent tastes. Both boys and girls
are young animals. with certain tastes
and peculiarities natural to their kind
certain characteristic Instincts which we
must recognize as normal, self-barbaric,
Il you please, and provide for in a nor
NAL manner or the result will spell dis
aster for the child and for ouf happiness
as well. II Is the precocious development
Of instincts which do not need encour-
agement at SO early an age that Is re-
sponsible for the moral downfall not
the dancing school itself
do believe in teaching children to
dance There is real joy In rhythmic
movement which every healthy child
feels and which should be cultivated. It
is form Of self-expression as natural
to the unconscious ego as winking or
breathing. Every little child dances un-
til he becomes self-conscious. and then
he dances when he thinks he il alone
where no one can see him. This native
dancing instinct should be cultivated
and directed into proper channels to con-

Ants Milk Cows.

If you have ants IN your front yard
don't jump to the conclusion that they
are undesirable. Also don't worry when
you see them crawling on your roses and
other flowers. They aren't going to hurt
the flowers. The Department Of Agricul-
ture gives its word for that. Yea, verify,
instead of injuring the flowers, they are
merely milking the cows"
According to the Departments bulletin.
the ants are attracted to the flowers by
the plant lice which are the "ant cows.
excreting a sweet fluid of which the ants
are very fond.
An ant thinks lot Of his COW. The
Secretary of Agriculture AYERS that he
sometimes takes his "cow" with him into
his nest. shelters her through the winter
and then turns her out to pasture on the
plants again in the spring.

Have you ever successfully solved
the question of Sunday meal times
The old idea seemed to be that we
should have an especially hearty din
ner in the afternoon, an hour or so
later than our accustomed luncheon,
wasn't it?
Breakfast was usually hearty and
later than usual and by the time that
night fell no one was hungry. So the
day ended with light tea-a salad, per-
haps, tea, cake and preserves.
Well it was that regime, as much
as anything else, that was response
bic for blue Monday, for the head
ache that many folk took for granted
as an aftermath of Sunday at home.
The early afternoon dinner is ripid-
ly becoming thing of the past among
city dwellers, but in its place we are
developing the habit of limiting our
meals to two on Sundays, late break
fast and 6-o'clock dinner. Is this a
good solution?
To some folk any upsetting of the
usual hours OF meals is always of bad
effect. and to most of US it counter
acts the good that the few extra hours
in bed may do.
Instead of lying in bad late on Sum-
day and upsetting the regular sched-
ule of meals, why not try the trick
of getting the rest you need by going
to bed unusually early Sunday night
instead, and getting up at the accus-
toned hour to make the day of rest
and recreation, of family reunions and
friendly intercourse as long before
sunset as possible.

NOAH GETS THE BLAME.


versity of Pennsylvania the day be-
fore yesterday that according to the
correct translation of the scriptures
l. was not Eve but Noah who brought
about the Fall has called for the
usual sparring of wit that such So
called discoveries usually occasion.
And newspaper folk in many parts of
the country have got the suffragists
to make comment on this clearing of
Ewes reputation.
a always suspected Noah" said one
woman yesterday who stands high in
the ranks of those who want the vote.
Eve was a lady and is the mother of
all the good people in the world. But
if you have ever read the ninth chap
ter of Genesis you will remember that
Noah, after the food and getting off
the water, became a husbandman,
planted vineyard and got drunk on
his own vintage. Most of the misery
in the world comes through drink,
and, if l remember right, Noah was
the first person mentioned as liking
wine parties. Remembering this, can
believe this new-old story of him. l
wouldn't wonder if it was some of his
cronies that laid the blame on Mother
Eve"
English society life as it has been
will not be known after the war is
over Life will be on higher plane.
There will be less sordidness, greater
spirituality in Europe when the war
days have passed. Workers will get
higher wages-class distinctions will
be broken down-in short the world
will be 4 better place-after the war.
That is what we read every day IN
the papers and We even hear it preach
cd in the pulpits. We like to think
that this frightiul war will have some
sood effects. That perhaps folk will
be the better as an indirect result OF
t:l:S wholesale bloodshedding.
But it is our own humble opinion
that no good ever comes from war.

Quite the contrary. The twenty
vc2rs directly following the war here !

IL history. hostorians tell US. There
was less OF spirituality. Whatever the
ultimate result may have been, So
ciai conditions were at low ebb, and |
the majority of families lived on a |
lower level, both materially and
spiritually than in the generation pre-
ceding the war.
Too bad. but this talk about the good |

DC only the optimistic hope of those
who must find some good in so much |
evil; just as we ourselves like to i'm |
agine that our general health has been

tribute its share to the complete, all
round development of the soul which Is
the object for which We were put into
this world
The folk dances of the different nations
are expressive to a very great degree Of
the peculiar national development, and
the fact that children particularly enjoy
learning them shows that they under
stand, in some subtle. intuitive way, the
spirit expressed by them These dances
are being taught in many of our public
schools and everywhere by private
teachers. 1t is a movement which PAL
ents should encourage to the utmost.
Learning to dance in the right kind Of
dances and under the right conditions
gives a bodily poise and a spiritual Sc
renity which is needed to help the aver
age child over trying and uncomfort-
able period in his growth: 1t helps, too
in his later development into complete
unity of soul and body.
You see, in these dances and in this
kind of dancing teaching, the pleasure is
primarily in the movement and rhythm
and not in the sex interest as In the ex-
elusive. fashionable dancing school. That
kind Of dancing, we are told by DR.. G.
Stanley Hall, an authority on child
study, has for its attraction sex interest
only. So. while 1 advise the members of
our Mothers Club to have their children
taught to dance, 1 do so with the addi-
tional advice TO choose the school and
the teacher with the utmost care.
