To Raise Standards.


you will soon see, the circular
reads, that you have raised the
standard of your establishment and
that the loss will be more than made
up by double the number of persons
who have respect for you and your
dances"
Some of the rules and regulations
which all are urged to obey follow:
Dance music should be bright
and cheerful, properly accented and
the phrases we'll divided. Cheap, vul-
gar music of the extreme jazz type
invites cheap, vulgar meaningless
dancing. 1t is useless to expect re-
fined dancing when the music lacks
all refinement, for, after all, what
is dancing but an Interpretation of
music?
'The association has adopted the
following tempos, it being impossi-
bic the masters say, to regulate last
dancing:
Waltz, 48 measures to minute.
'"Two-step, 50 measures to minute.
"One-step, Sc measures to minute.
Fox trot, 40 measures to minute
Dancers should assume a light
graceful position say the masters
There should be no jerky half steps
for these cause undesirable varia-
tions.
Farmers should not dance with
cheeks close or touching nor should
the clasp be tight Neck holds are
positively objectionable. The gentle
mans arm should encircle his part
ner's waist, his hand resting lightly
just above the waist line. The lady
left arm should not encircle her part
ner's shoulders or neck.
Short Steps Not Refined.
Steps or movements that cannot
be controlled should not be taught
by dancing teachers. Short side
steps, first right, then left, when done
continuously, are not conductive tc
refined dancing and should not be
permitted. 'Shimmy dancing g
shaking or jerking of the upper part
of the body while taking short steps
or standing still, should not be toll
Grated
"The proper dancing step should
be the same as natural walking

which properly belongs to the stage
not the ballroom. Exceptionally lone

Uncle Harry Talks About
the France Of Today

7 have wondered a good many
times lately how France was getting
along; whether the nation was re-
covering frofm the War. Can you
tell us anything about that9" asked
Joe.
Il can and I Will be very glad TO-"
replied Uncle Harry, FOR recently a
number OF very interesting reports
have come TO this country, giving
some OF the details Of Frances re-
covery from the effects OF the war
and the great amount OF reconstruc-
ton work that has been done there
during the last two years"
f"Compared lwih the wide area OF
France isn't u true that only a very
small part OF the country was dam
aged or destroyed by the WARP asked
Ielen.
"Why, yes. that Is a correct state
ment." said Uncle Harry, but n you
put 10 that way | think you set a
rather wrong Idea OF the great amount
Of damage that was done. II Is true
that the war did not touch anything
like the larger part OF France, but
Nevertheless, the damage done was
tremendous.
Il wonder, for instance, how many
people realize Ulhl NuIlUE lllt lNAl
Ioears OF war, according TO the official
records which have now been made
public. 3.720 towns and villages were
either entirely or partly destroyed,
iacludlng $40. .269 houses. which were
entirely destroyed 3i3675 houses
which were partly destroyed, and
A. 800 factories and manufacturing
giants which were also destroyed2
Bridges and viaducts 10 the number
OF ass were destroyed Nearly 1000
miles OF canals and 3,46O miles Of
railways were destroyed and 100000
acres Of farm land made temporarily
useless.
The Wonderful Recovery.
Now let us see how France has
recovered from all this damase and
destruction. More than $4,000
homes have been completely repaired.
a 900 temporary houses have been
constructed. 1900 entirely new houses
have been built. More than 100000
people who were made homeless by
the war have now reiurned 10 their
homes. Nearly $500 bridges and via

TEACHERS DISCUSSED
SILENT READING METHODS

Last Monday a meeting of teach
ers from the Pullman neighborhood
was held in the auditorium of the
grade school building for the pur-
pose of discussing the matter of i'm
provement in silent reading in the
grades of the public schools. This
meeting was called by the county
superintendent at the suggestion of
the state department of public in
stTuction and was an outgrowth of
movement started early in the
present year by the state superin-
in December state wide test was
given to all children from the third
to the eighth grade, inclusive, to de-
termine both the rate and compre-
hension of each child in silent read
ing. These papers were marked by
the departments of education in the
various normal schools of the state
and the results sent to the county
superintendent. The teachers of
the state have been interested in the
matter and meetings are now being
held similar to the one called here
last Monday for the purpose of dis
cussing methods of improving the
reading in the schools
Mrs. Margaret Yost from the nor
NAL school at Cheney was present
and addressed the teachers. Dr..
Clifford w. Stone of the State Col
lege was also present and explained
methods of improving the reading
not only in the regular reading ex-
ercises but also by emphasizing the
matter of thought getting in all sub
jects. Several of the teachers pres
ent entered into the discussion by
telling of deyises that they had
found useful in improving the work
of the children.
The meeting was most helpful to
the teachers. Ii more such meetings
could be held from time to time they
would prove a source of inspiration
and help to teachers in the field.

people of the community during the
influenza epidemics of the past two
years the local lodge of Knights OF

full membership to Dean G. w.

church and placed a years dues to
the credit of the Rev. c. n. Curtis,

LATE SPRING HAMPERS
WORK ON THE FARM

The heavy April rains have great
ly hampered spring work on the
farms and little blowing has been
done. There is plenty of moisture
in the soil, however, and it is be-
lieved that even with late paintings
spring wheat has an excellent PROS
pect. Fall wheat is not up to the
standard of the last three years in
growth at this time, most of it barely
showing above the ground, while
last year several fields showed
stands of six to eight inches at this
time. The acreage in wheat is ex-
pected to be considerably less than
last year.
