What About Dance HALF

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
We are two girls. 1s-years old.
who find much pleasure in fol-
lowing your interesting column.
We would ike very much to read
your opinion on a question that
is troubling US.
We love to dance, and go to
dances about twice a week. We
have heard the term "dance-hall
girls" and would like to know if
public dances are cheapening to
a girls character. We are anx-
ious to hear what you think about
this. We thank you in advance.
PRUDENCE.
OF course there are a few pub
lie dance halls that are so well
managed and located in such a
restricted community that the
very incest young folks attend
them.
The average dance hall admits
anyone who wishes TO attend and
it is the custom for everyone to
dance with everyone-in itself
eheapening, indiscreet and in some
instances dangerous!
would suggest that you girls
join the best evening dancing class
available-a class attended by both
young men and young women.

several times, is queer and erratic, and Is more
likely to be mistaken for the Office boy than for
the brilliant intellect his father thought was
being developed.
MANY psychologists have tried hypnotism
to benefit their own children by giving
hypnotic suggestions to their sleeping offspring.
The most perfect case, which we have just
reviewed, SHOULD rather discourage these
attempts.
just short time ago also learned of a
psychologist who attempted to hypnotic his
wife so he could find out whether she had been
unfaithful. His wife told my wife. and also
elaborated on how she had pretended to have
been hypnotized. Now it has spoiled my
chances ever to hypnotic my wife-f ever
wanted to.
Then there is a rather famous case of the
daughter of one of the lesser luminaries among
academic psychologists
Slightly more than 10 years ago her psychol-
ogist father was Dragging to some fellow
psychologists how he had solved the age-old
problem in the case of his son and daughter
by having them battle together in the family
bathtub that innocence might displace curiosity
Now the SON is an effeminate young bachelor
who hates women while the vivacious and
attractive daughter is a high-strung young
woman in her early thirties who spends much
of her time amid the restorative soothing
baths of a health resort town.
Not all psychologists psyching of their own
children has terminated as depressingly as
these two There are countless highly enter
tanning episodes which illustrate the failure
of psychology as applied by the psychologists
just recently, for instance, a psychologist
who had never smoked was confronted with
the distressing eagerness of his lO-year- old son
to smoke.
Calling upon his "Sunday-best psychology"
the father bought two cigars, and after dinner
he and the son retired-or advanced-to tlC
living room to smoke them behind closed
blinds, on the theory that the son would be
sickened and would thereby negatively condi-
ton him to tobacco"
It was pretty theory and might have
worked, but the father was the that was
sickened and could not attend classes the
following day. The son took to the weed as
q duck takes TO water.

pecially fond of sponge cake, but when civaded
among the 10 children he received scarcely
more than a crlinb. So when his appetite was
biting and the cake was sponge, he would allow
the cake to be passed around the table; but as
it came to the first child he would say mot
you" and as it came to each of the others would
repeat, Nor you, nor you, nor you," for nine
times.
These peculiar and unreasonable things psy-
biologists do in the rearing of their own chill
dren. the lack of agreement among psycholo-
giStS as to what is the right way to deal with
children, as well as the silence of those who
really know when it comes to practical guid-
ance, should make it rather obvious that psy.
chology win not be ready to supplant common
sense in the rearing of children for some years
to come.
But this does not prevent psychologists from
wanting to take charge of the children of the
world so they can condition, uncondition and
recondition children although Ivan Pavlov, who
has most complete knowledge of conditioned
reflex mechanisms, states fatty that he can
find little warrant for applying his findings on
dogs to the practical conduct of human affairs.
And Pavlov is the one man in Russia who
speaks his mind without fear or favor and
is also not accustomed to saying what psychol-
ogists want him to say unless h,5 Judgment
prompts him.
Neither has the lack of mo-, than two
pages of definite and valid information on how
to develop character and virtue in childhood
prevented the profitable endowm mt Of private
secondary schools which allege II develop just
these things
One such school In large tern city has
gained an international reputation because it
has the reputation of building usual character
in its students. Recent actual tets of children
who had received the exceptional ethical train

life situations, where natural opportunity but

certain Midwestern psychologist who has been
trying to give his young son and daughter
moral lessons from life, rather than from any
"psychologically pernicious source such as
teachings of alleged saints"
When a street carnival came to their uniyer-
sity town Of 5000 souls he thought that here
would be a chance to point out the evils of
gambling. So the really charming youngsters
were taken to the carnival one afternoon. not
as pleasure lark as most people 60 but as
source for moral lessons from life
From distance their father explained the
foolhardiness of gambling and how they would
each put dime on numbers at the roulette
wheel in the tent beside the ferris wheel. watch
the wheel spin around and that would be
all they would get for their money. Nov

CHINY dimes were placed on three numbers,

puppy, intelligent and well bred, companion
for youth and age. Try your luck again, sirl"
Now as the nearly grown puppy romps with the
children the psychologist wonders just how good
life itself really is as moral instructor.
It is in the field of developing character that
psychologists seem to be loudest in precepts, al
though Drs. Mark A. May and Hugh Hartshorn
who have done the most experimental work in
this field are very quiet about telling how to
train and care for children to strengthen their
moral fiber
It is grossly in error to confuse psychological
fact with the unusual ideas of one or two psy-
biologists on how to develop strong character
Two guesses do not make fact outside of Wall
street. Not only psychologists, but otherwise
intelligent people, quickly become consumate
jackasses when they are asked how to develop
character.

not even appear as amusing as the Nova Scotia

With the situation at the Nation

for weeks the revolutionary armies
have striven TO take the important
city Of Canton.
Reports from Hong-Kong and

been severe and had lasted twenty
four hours, ending in victory for the
defenders, the Nationalist Canton

Trains on the Markings Shanghai
lines were operating and although
small groups of foreign residents
still arrived here from Marking,
there appeared to be no general
exodus from the capital. 1t was
estimated the excavations did not
total more than $50 in the last two
days.
Reports from Marking denied that
there were serious clashes north Of
the city on the Tientsin-PukoW

Commanders Of japanese, British
and American warships, which
have converged here since the sit
uation became threatening last
week, showed no alarm and had not
