J ' Wilson declared thie morning- that the committee is completing the supplemen tary statement which he said would con tain sufficient evidence to aatlsfy the hoard - that the schoblhouse dance should he discontinued. He was disin dined, however, to reveal in advance oi tne report wnat tnia evidence con' siste of. The board had previously set an arbi trary "deadline' for the submission of this evidence, thl period expiring at 5 clock thl afternoon. Wilson reiter ated, however, that the committee does not propose to cue names or motners or of girl who have been made delinquent because of the dance. He indicated that school where objectionable dances have been held would be listed, however. BAm8t8 APPRO YE The Baptist Superintendents and Workers union, composed of all the of ficers and teacher of the Baptist Sun day schools of Portland, have adopted the following resolutions in support of the Methodist ministers : "Dancing is not a part of our educa tional system, and the school buildings have Just one purpose education. "No good can come of such a practice. and much harm ha come of it as we have observed. "In our homes and Sunday schools we are teaching our children that dancing Is wrong. That there is more vice than virtue in it But dancing being allowed In public school And in high schools la a subtle kind of temptation. Indeed, the dance erase has so gripped our schools that the high school boy or girl that will not dance is set on one side and made fun of. "We submit that we are taxed to sup port the public schools, not dance halls.' WA3TTS FCLI, IKQT7IKT Director George B. Thomas is going to ask for a thorough investigation of the charges of the Methodist ministers that Improper dance are held In Port land schools. 'Aa a result of this public debate, aid Thomas, "the children and the whole school system have been be smirched, and it is up to the board to have a thorough investigation and run the whole thing down, This sort ofpubllc debate on such delicate subjects, contributes a much to the delinquencies of children aa any thing we could do. When you get to the bottom, if one half of the things the minister say are so, something should be done. But the real cure is not stopping the dance, but in eradi eating the evil features. the west line of the park 100 feet east. VTaitaut n YT .
