Reform of Present Dancing Manners
Is Started by Decent Young Men.
By ALFRED E. srEARNs, Andover Academy

Not the mothers, or the fathers, or the chaperons, or the girls, but
the boys, the young men themselves, have started in on the frat effective
reform of the loose manners and customs of the modern ball room. The
social orgy has gone too far.
The reform is starting and will gain Roadway among the boys them
selves. The cool judgment of decent boys in matters of this kind is essen
tally sound and the boys have had enough. They are beginning to real
ize that the shallow and superficial gnhood of the present day has lost
the charm that girhood should possess and that they crave.
And since popularity is seemingly all that the modern mother desires
for her daughter, she win be quick to sense the altered atmosphere and
adjust herself accordingly. Here, then, is our ground for hope The boy
car. and / believe will, correct an intolerable situation. If not, we shall
speedily have a drastic reaction with accompanying blue laws that will
deprive us of ali Of what should be a pleasant and wholesome pastime
and that will satisfy no one.

Habit of Crowd-Making Is Becoming a
Serious Menace to Civilization.
By E. D. MARTIN, in Behavior of Crowds"

As a practical problem, the habit of crowd-making is daily becoming
a more serious menace to civilization. Events are making it more and
more clear that, pressing Is Ire certain economic questions, the forces
which threaten society are really psychological. =
Both the individual and society suffer from crowd-behavior. | know
of nothing which today 70 menaces not only the values of civilization,
but also-it is the same thing in other words, perhaps-the achievement
of personality and true knowledge of self, as the growing habit of behaving
as crowds.
Our society is becoming a veritable babble of gibberng crowds. Not
only ar mob outbreaks and riots increasing in number, but every interest
patriotic, religious, ethical, political, economic, easily degenerates into
confusion of propagandist tongues, into exrayagant craftsmanship and
intemperance . E" . While it cannot be said that the habit of crowd
making is peculiar to our times-other ages too, have INDUCED in it
in recent years.

Variety OF Fowls Should Regulate
Height of Fence.

most of the other breeds can be kept
in by a siX-foot fence. Hamburgs and
Leghorns may be kept in the yards by
clipping the flight feathers on one
wing. Gates should be provided IL
order to permit access from one yard
to the next.
If convenient, 1t is well to have dou-
Bile yards, for her one may rotate
green crops. The yards may be sown
to oats, wheat, or rye. and while the
fowls are using one yard the green
feed in the other can be getting a
fresh start.
When the yards are to be on only
one side Of the house, they should be
on the south side in order that the
fowls may have the benefit Of the first
dry ground in early spring. 1t not in
frequently happens that in localities
where snow is abundant the ground
on the south side is dry many days
before that on the north side.
If the yards are to be in permanent
sod and are to furnish green feed for
the fowls, 20 to so square feet should
be allowed for each bird, poultry spe-
c~ialists In the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture say. If part Of
the green feed Is to be otherwise pro-
vided for, and the yards used mainly
for exercise grounds, 30 to 40 square
feet per bird will be sufficient.
Shade of some kind should be pro
vided, and this can often be adj
vantageously furnished by planting
fruit trees (such as pears, plums, cher
ries, and apples) In the yard.

lar vote on partisan tickets, by county courts not in any other way respon,
sible for the public schools except, perhaps, that they may determine to
some extent the county tax levy for schools, by commissions representing
local school boards over the actions of which the county superintendent is
supposed to have some kind of control, and possibly in other ways equally
illogical and absurd.
In all the states in which county superintendent arr not elected by
responsible boards to which they in turn are responsible and in which
salaries are not large enough to make it possible to fill the offices with
competent men and women giving full time to the duties of the office, legs-
latures should take steps at the earliest possible moment, making these
things possible and requiring them. Nowhere should the salary of the
county superintendent be less than So 500.
To enable the weaker counties to pay adequate salaries and for many
other reasons, the state should pay one-half of the minimum salary
at least.
Boards of education should have the power to select county superln-
tendents from the country at large and should be required to select their
only on the basis of professional preparation and ability.
