The present-day styles of dancing were criticised by Dr. P. Clennell Fenwick, speaking before the Committee on Venereal Diseases, which is sitting in Christchurch. Dr. Fenwick said: “It is with regret I have to express my opinion that the modern dances are injurious to young persons. I thoroughly believe in dancing as a healthy amusement and exercise, but the ‘Jazz’ and other kinds of dancing at present in vogue are, in my opinion, most unhealthy. I feel sure If these were rendered un-

fashionable by public opinion, a certain amount of unhealthy sexual excitement would be avoided.” The members of the Otago representative hockey team, who have spent a couple of days at Geraldine, made many friends during their short stay in South Canterbury’s beautiful country town.
