Too Much Dancing.
Although Germany cultivates more dancers than any other country in Europe, and although the Kaiser is really noted as a graceful dancer, the Government has resolved to curtail dancing to a certain extent. All the communities which have public dances for children at Whitsuntide, on the Emperor’s birthday, or on other national holidays, are directed not to begin operations before noon, and not to continue them after 8 p.m. None but a schoolchild is to be allowed to join in. Children preparing for confirmation are forbidden to take part at all. Those entrusted with the moral and religious training of young people are enjoined to prevent dancing, and to substitute children’s games. The opinion is expressed that nothing has been done iD the young Kaiser’s reign that will excite such opposition in Germany as this.
