DANCING IN SCHOOLS

1t is satisfactory to note the wise
and dignified position taken on the
matter OF dancing in the Senior High
School gymnasium by Principal
Louis P. Slade.. He refuses to allow
the foolishness of few thoughtless
young people who do not appreciate
the broad vision which permits dane
ing in the gymnasium, to interfere
with the innocent pleasure of others
who enjoy dancing and who find in
1t safety valve for some of their
superfiuous energy People have
danced since people were; people will
dance as long as people are. Often it
partakes of the character of the valve
which prevents the boiler from ex-
ploding. Under proper chaperonage
the custom is quite the reverse of
Objectionable except to those-and
this number is fast diminishing
who object to dancing in any form.
disapproval is given to dancing it will
become something else again." De-
voices of the dance will be very apt
to seek their pleasure in surround
ings that are less desirable. Many
are tho arguments concerning 1t,
and this is not the place and this is
not the occasion for entering into
them. The point to be emphasized
Is that the fate of dancing in the
school gymnasium is in the hands of
the dancers themselves. If they abuse
the privilege undoubtedly it will be
stopped. If they do not abuse that
privilege it will be continued. 1t is
for the dancers themselves to see to
It that the. privilege is not abused.
Evidently the school authorities are
assuming wise, sane attitude regard
ing 1t.

A CONTRAST

Twenty-Five years ago last Friday
two items appeared in the Herald
which, read today. suggest a signifi-
cant contrast. 1t was announced on
that day, twenty-five years ago, that
the running time for trolley cars be-
tween the park in New Britain and
Pearl street, Hartford, would be re-
duced to As minutes. The running
time of the trolley between those
points is about the same today.
Twenty-Five years ago last Friday
a peddler came to town driving a
horse SO afflicted with "the heaves"
that the driver had to stop on East
Main street until the animal recover
ed. Today peddlers drive automo-
biies, in most instances, and the sit
uation would be presented where the
flivver, not a horse, might be afflicted
with the putting, distressing trouble.
In other words great progress has
been made in twenty-f five years along
some lines, while others have remain
ed practically stationary. 1t is not
to be regretted that trolley cars do
not run faster between this city and
Hartford. That is not the point. But
the matter is significant as indicating
progress In one line and failure to
progress in another. Peddlers have
no monopoly. They have to develop
in order to succeed. A practical
monopoly in the transportation field
may be necessary to obtain the best
service, but the monopolists should
be alive to opportunities to better
their service as those who are driven
to it by competition are forced to be.

predicting a continuation of the build
ing boom he calls attention TO the
steps being taken by contractors to
facilitate building In the winter, In
his article published last Saturday
he mentions some OF the means that
are being adopted and he shows the
wisdom of these methods, "often
the greater efficiency OF winter la
bor" he says completely offnHis the
other added costs"
II is admitted that the building
boom is wonderful thing for the
country. Babson says new building
is what started US on the road to re-
covery; 1t should continue. There is
a general shortage Of houses despite
the fact that ''never before In the
history OF the country have so many
new houses been built as In the first
ten months of 1922" And In this
connection Mr.. Babson issues warn
ing to material men and to labor.
This should be emphasized. not only
for the benefit OF those who would
build, but also for the benefit of those
men and laborcrs. But as
sure as the material Dealers" says
Mr.. Babson. start in, to boost prices
next summer they will choke off their
business. The same warning applies
to labor. Wages are already as high
IS they can be and still allow much
building. Both labor and material
men should realize that It is better
for them to have steady building at
moderate profits than it is to have a
short squirt of building at high profits
by a long period of idleness."

WHITE INDICATED

There is more than joke about
the dismissal of the charges against
William Allen White growing out of
his act in displaying in the window
of his newspaper office sign ex-
pressing sympathy with the striking
railroad shopmen. The Diminishing of
those charges is taken, somewhat
humorously, as re-uniting of Gov
ernor Allen, Henry" of Kansas, and
Mr.. White, me-" of the firm Of
Henry and Me-"
At the time of the making of the
charges against Mr.. White The Her
aid stated that his position was more
sound than that or the Kansas Of
fetal whose attitude was that a man
could not, under the law, express
sympathy with the strikers. Gov
ernor Allen and Mr.. White are warm
friends and continued to be friends
even during the incident. But neither
is the sort of man who would coun-
tenance the dismissal of proper
charges, or who would permit the set
Element of a question in this way,
unless he believed such dismissal
was proper. They are the rare sort
of individuals who are big enough
to agree to differ" and still continue
a warm friendship for each other and
who will fight the matter out until
one or the other is convinced that he
is wrong. Quite probably Henry
has said to "Bill' by this time: "Bill',
thought you were dangerous only
when sitting in front OF your old
typewriter-and l didn't give you
credit for having the legal brains
necessary to think this thing out cor
rectly. You were right and was
wrong. Now play something on that

BABsoN ON BUILDING

Roger Babson's statistics show
general business to be but per cent
below normal, the highest point reach
ed in two years. In this connection
1t is well to remember his previous
statement that full prosperity has not
reached the fourth great class of bus
mess in this country which is compos-
ed OF the distributing agencies such
as the merchants. Their time is COM
ing. This good report on general
business" therefore, will become far
better when the business of the mer-
chants improves as that of the manu-
facturers, the producers Of raw ma
teriais and the transportation divi-
sion of business has already improv-
ed. Locally the merchants feel that
the business done in this Christmas
season will be the first signs OF
return of full prosperity.

of winter building which The Herald
touched upon some time ago. In

ten matters-forgotten by many who
cease to bother about things after
they leave the front page of the news

Shantung. 1t was the stumbling
block in the great conference: long
hours were spent discussing "Ameri-
can perfdy" regarding it. Doubts were
expressed by pessimists as to Japan's
intention of ever restoring it to China.
But today comes the news that the
territory OF Kiaochow was restored to
China yesterday and the Chinese flag
was raised for the first time in "a

CLAYTON CROSSING

There are two articles appearing In
the current issue OF popular mag
azine which are interesting. important
and worthy of thought when one Is
considering the proper attitude to-
wards ones neighbors. One is the
command not to be "doormat," and
the other tells how successful man
was cured of ''nagging." The line be-
tween being a doormat and nag
ger is extremely difficult to draw. II
one doesn't mag" a little bit-or at
least criticize, one is apt to partake
q bit Of the doormat's characteris-
tics. And yet the "nagger" never
accomplishes anything when dealing
with really big people and the real
snagger" isn't big at all in any way.
The Herald hates to mag" but The
Herald dislikes very much indeed to
see New Britain a "doormat." This
newspaper has emphasized on many
occasions the dangers Of Clayton
crossing. 1t has almost "nagged"
about the necessity of abolishfng it..
When the authorities Of the state de-
cided it was one of the three most
dangerous crossings in the state it was
hoped that it would be the one to be
eliminated before any others. The
hope is still cherished. New Britain
has not been the recipient Of many IA
vors, to say the least, in regard to
matters of transportation. 1t would
almost be "doormat" if no voice
were raised at this time, when At
torney General Healy has advised
that Highway Commissioner Bennett
may eliminate grade crossings under
certain conditions, on his, own initia--
tive, to urge again that the dangerous
Clayton crossing be given his first
consideration, 1t is hoped that this
wiz not be taken as "Nagging,," 1t is
sincere plea based on the convic-
ton that it is founded upon right and
Justice.
