Dancing Is Storm Center Better Than Dark Places

AKRON, Ohio, Jan. 23.-Dancing in public schools has become a storm center involving Board of Education members. ministers and civic asso, ciations.
 Mrs. A. Ross Read, vice president of the Board of Education, issued a statement recently in which she de tended dancing in the schools and said that it was much better that young folks dance in high school gymnasiums, under proper supervi- sion. than that they pass their even. ings in dark places in the parks, probably mot talking about the League of Nations"
The Alaska daily empire., 1922-01-23

The statement was in answer to a sermon delivered by Rev. L. N. D. Wells. of the High Street Church of Christ. in which Rev. Mir. Wells said the dance in the public school could not be defended either as an exer- else, school of manners or as an intellectual stimulant.
 The North Hill Civic Association. which has conducted dances in a high school building, has come to the defense of dancing.
