the board, has largely occurred since
August.

have put the kibosh on all dances in
Madison public schools. This Is the
| way the students explain the new or
der issued by Supt. Thomas w. Cos

complaints were received of indecen-
cy at such affairs that he asked the
board Of education to prohibit dances
in the public schools of Madison dur
