By order of the board of trustees
Carson School District No. 1.
The above rules and regulation
have been found necessary because
of the following reasons:
The experience of the past schoo
year wherein school dances hav,
been given to raise money for vari
Gus purposes have not been salts
factory. Outside music has beel
hired, which has at times been &C
companied by an undesirable ele
ment from other cities.
The dances have been run pas
the midnight hour. This has beer
brought about largely by the re
tention of high priced music and tn
admission price that has beef
charged the public. High schoo
and college dances customarily clos
at the twelve o'clock hour.
Notwithstanding every precautiol
that has been taken both by facult,
and police officers, persons unde
the influence of liquor have come t.
these dances and liquor has beel
brought into the premises.
Dances which are give under tn
patronage of the high school mus
preforce be supervised by someon
in connection with the school. l
is unfair to any teacher to be aske
to supervise a dance wherein tn
crowd is so large and composed O
so many elements as to be unmanae
able.
We are of the opinion from tn
moral point of view these genera
public dances surrounded, as the
are, by so many unwholesome ele
ments, are undesirable; and tina
from the financial point of view tn
continual call upon the public b
various classes and organizations 0
the school for funds, which are to
often spent for selfish interest,
not in keeping with the purpose o
an educational institution.
This statement has been made t
let the students and the schoe
partons know the reasons for tn
discontinuance of the public danes
and the above rules and regulation
drafted to define explicitly the cor
ditions under which dances may
given.
In general we are opposed to tn
down town dance for high schot
students, and now that reourv-dts
students. In view of the fact tina
we have no high school gymnasium
and that down town halls are use
for basketball games have not bee
discontinued. These dances wi
be subject to discontinuanc
at any time, however, that tn
crowds become too difficult t
manage, that the dancing become
Objectionable, or that liquor
brought on the premises.-Carso
