TODDLING AT SCHOOL
BANNED BY BALLOT

BUFFALO. May 9.-Electing two
school trustees. but, in fact, deciding
whether or not their children should
be allowed to dance in high school,
residents of South Dayton by ballot
said the school is no place for the
toddle.
Early in the year a janitor re-
signed. giving his reason he could
not conscientiously take care of a
building in which dancing was al
lowed. This started the controversy.
and two candidates for trustees ran
on platform against dancing and
two on platform for dancing.
The non-dancing element elected
both candidates. who have issued an
edict against the toddle, tango and
fox trot
