And being boss of the school there is no reason why his will should not prevail Parents Of high school students will bc thanEfu] that improper attitudes will ho barred a. dances in this foont of educa,ion
 It IS astonishing how quchly the young learn that-nhich is better uncarne1 and avail themselves re- u~anty of knowledge that Is more difficult to acquire.
 Public hugsing on a dance floor is a species oc yu,garity that has become one Of the keystones of this jazz age. l. IS incumbent upon edu- cators and parents 10 substitute bet ter ideals. The high school principal has done lis par; the remainder is now in the hands Of parents.
 But a4 of our youth doesn't at tend hlgh schools or high school dances; it attends other dances where yu,gar,tics probably are not unknown. The dicta at the high school merely means that those who attend such high school functions are being guided better at one point, while those who attend similar functions that are not controlled by individuals conscious of their moral responsibility do not get the same careful guidance,
 From all accounts some-though not aII-of the dancing being done nowadays is far removed from the stately minuet of Mozarts time. Base impulses dominate too large percentage Of pleasure seekers. The struggle 10 reform conditions has been proceeding for several year, and yet the advance has been so slight that rigid reminders regarding propriety are necessary in such an exalted institution as The high school.
 There are suficiency of dancers left, however, who refuse 10 join in questionable practices, and they re- fuse 10 permit dancing pleasures to be destroyed by those who lack re- gard for public decency They realize fully that proper dancing is just as freighted with satisfaction as i'm proper dancing, and provides no as saults upon the conscience and does not undermine that fine conception Of morals that should be the tounda- ton of every good citizen.
 Some persons do not approve of dancing on general pr1ncIpcs; that is their right. Some do not approve Of dancing al high schools. and tt is not part Of the entertainment pro  grams at some such institutions, de- pending upon inc prepondcrating sentiment Bu. no one can deny that in these days dancing IS an eX- tremc'y popa,ar diversion, and is participated in by an classes ot SO cisty and even by those past middle age.

QUITE 4 HILLABALOO, BUT NOW ALL QIET

Quite q huIIahaIoo Was raised fhe past few months by the possibility that the election Of president might be thrown into congress and a great scare rcverbcratcd throughout the country over the prospect. The scare vas good thing for the Republican party, as many high -min1od citizens with wen-deyeloped penchant for lodging trouble concluded they would vote for the most likely candidate to prevent all this mess,
 But now that the election is over, the former pseudo-reformers Of the electoral college have become petri- fled and dumb. Nothing will be done to change or improve the system; the machinery will be tolerated for a while longer, and at some future elcc'Ior again will emerge to harass the body polite with it's dive po- tentiaHtics.
 Yet the electoral college system, or the system of electing presidents, needs changing now as much as it did before November 4. The old sore still remains. The mere fact that the votes have been counted does not testify that the method of choosing the president is not cumbersome and ut-of-date.
 Albert Shaw, editor of the Review Of Reviews, goes into an intimate analysis Of the system and recounts the repeated difficulties that have been faced by the nation in the past. Serious election deadlocks have oc- cured. but these are history and can be found chronicled in any good history Of inc American nation. Edi- tor Shaw concludes that the most exaspera'ing features of the system is found in the fact that it is the old congress. elected in 1922, rather than the new congress that will have 10 attempt the decision in case lhe presidential election is not set tied concusively hy the electoral collag g."

REACTIONAR|ES
Election Takes Place on
Dec. %

The progressive members of the
Chicago Local No. 54S, of the BARRIERS
union, at the local meeting Thursday
night, launched a drive against the
proposed new contract and the reac-
tionary officials who dared to bring in
such a proposal, and placed their own
progressive slate in the field against
the present set of labor takers.
The BARRIERS have had to abide by
their previous three-year contract, in
spite of the advance in wages in other
trades md the continuous increase in
the cost of living. Now the cid execu-
tive committee want to put over an
other three-year contract, to which
the membership objects on the fur
Their ground that it contains propos-
ais of class collaboration which no
union should propose against its own
interests.
Union Proposes Members Be Doeked.
Chief among these proposals is the
one that the bosses should have the
right to dock the wages Of BARRIERS
who report after a. m, regardless
Of the fact that the union rules now
permit the bosses to work the men
overtime two hours or so in the eve
ming without extra pay. Why the
union should propose such thing to
the bosses is something the member
ship of Local 54S wants to know.
Another similar proposal is that the

officials put such things in the agree
