Dance Instinct
Aid to Society
Says Scientist
Serves Useful End Better
Expressed Than Repress-
ed" He Claims.

BOSTON, Jan. 23-Dancing is an
instinct which is very much better
expressed than suppressed. said Prof.
Emil Carl Wilm, head Of the depart
ment OF psychology at Boston uni
versity, in a serious defense of natu-
raj pleasures.
Dancing serves a useful social
end" he added. 1T gives married
people the opportunity TO associate
with persons Of the opposite sex un-
der conventional circumstance, and
Il helps uphold conventional society
Dancing IS an instinct like eating
fighting and mating. There is no
one can't dance, as il only accen-
ted walking. Ny two and one half
years old son. one-steps and fox
trOts.
Natural Functions.
Modern dancing is partly sensual.
partly an expression of love for
rhythm, and partly much needed ex-
erciSe. All If these functions are
natural and therefore the appeal of
dancing cannot help but be wide
spread. Our highly conventional
society suppresses a great many ma
tural pleasures but dancing has not
Leen abolished by the blue law re-
formers yet. and it is one Of the few
natural pleasures left.
The emphasis that is some
times placed on dancing is the re-
suit OF what psychologists know
was inhibitions. Unless normal in
stinctS get an expression or have
some compensation they are appar-
ent TO burst out !n unusual forms.
For instance, all women have the
maternal instinct and the modern
bachelor woman, her instinct unsatis-
fed and repressed. cOmpensates by
taking a passionate interest in ami
mails, OF else she becomes a cham
piOn OF femlnism."
