DANCING MASTERS
WOULD REGULATE
DANCES AND MUSIC

New York. Aug. 17.-No one will
.frown upon dancing IL the dancing
masters are able to carry out the am-
bilious program outlined last, week at
the convention OF the International
Association, Masters Of Dancing, at
the Hotel McAlptn. Interest was CEN
tered around ideas for better dancing
for a nation that, loves 1t not par
.ticularly. as an art, but chiefly as a
diversion. The dancing masters be-
lieve that a deeper appreciation OF
dancing should exist and realize that
education alone, can make a. pubic
look upon 1t as an art.
Lengthy debates were held over the
present methods of uplifting %riancing.
The teachers have endeavored unsuc-
c~essfully to enlist the friendly aid oof
the clergy: In fact, their overtures
greater opposition, they declare, SO
they can hope for no immediate aid
in that quarter. They have beensloud
in their disapproval of the extreme
dances which have thrived with the
public without their endorsement,
and they have issued reams of litera-
ture on dancing as it should be. An
cpen challenge to the clergymen Of
New York to appear at their lunch
con n debats with them, had been
ignored, and propaganda has proved
slow in results.
The dancing masters have decided
that they will now try to make the
teaching of dancing such that 1t will
be impossible for the public to prac-
tice. new dances that have not been
endorsed by a recognized body APP
pointed for regulating dances in .vari-
Gus dance halls and places Of amuse-
ment. In fact, they want a dance
censorship. In Philadelphia dancing
is censored by a combination dancing
teacher and police inspector. Ever
since she began teaching, Marguerite
Walz has been an advocate of dance
censorship, and when the shimmE and
toddle became so popular and even
more extreme dances gave promise OF
becoming popular, she started an ac-
tive campaign in Philadelphia against
them. Her work among her pupils
and at the municipal dances soon at
tracted attention, and she was APP
pointed dance censor by the mayor
and given full police authority.
Miss Walz is enthusiastic owe the
success Of her undertaking and says
that the standard of dancing in Phila-
delphia has been greatly changed UNI
der this new supervision. At a recent
municipal dance Miss Wall said that
out Of 10000 people only five were
reprimanded, where formerly at such
affairs many arrests were made. -.
