FRIENDS FLAY DANCING.
Yearly Meeting Also Censures
Moving Pictures at Philadcl-
phia Session.

Philadelphia, April 2.-Danclng and
moving pictures again we're censured by
the Yearly Meeting Of Orthodox Friends,
In session Wednesday at Fourth and Arch
streets. Arthur j. Vail introduced the
subject of dancing in connection with the
fifth "uuery.' Dancing Is an unneces-
sary evil and should be abolished" de-
clared Mr.. Vail. "An increasing number
of young Friends are attending dances,
but the fault is not entirely theirs. The
parents are to blame in many instances.
The world at large is too lax with the
moral education of our childhood"
This seemed to be the spirit of the
meeting, and il was decided to publish a
pamphlet setting forth Friends views on
the subject. Ii was also decided to call a
conference of the parents of children under
20 wears of age. and to decide what action
should be taken. A committee was ap-
pointed. with Daniel ID. Test, head of the
Pennsylvania Hospital, as chairman, to
call the conference within the next month.
DIR. Ellis p. Oberholzers work on the
Pennsylvania State Board of Censors WAS
praised highly by the meeting, and as his
term expires shortly it was decided to send
a letter TO Governor Sproul urging his re-
appointment.
Joseph ElkInton, IN stating to the meet
ing his reasons for visiting Europe, said
