DANCING BISHOP
FAVOURS TERPSICHOREAN ART. I AN AID TO TEACHING MANNERS LONDON, October 5. Dr. Shuckburgh Swayne, the “dancing bishop,” has resigned the see of Lincoln on the grounds of illhealth. He is seventy years of age, and has been bishop for nearly thirteen years. “I believe in the dancing of today,” the bishop told the Church Congress at Ipswich five years ago. “It gives the young people of the countryside poise, manners and self-respect. “I was made to dance as a boy; it was fob the Improvement of my manners. My mother said she would licit have bar ' sons growing up as Stable boys.*’ Oh another occasion, at Manchester. Dr, Swayne said "Dancing is not a refining and civilising influence when it is (properly conducted. It Is only right that we should make opportune ties for young men and wemen to meet under suitable conditions.” The bishop, however, does not like films. He once confessed that “the only time I ever .went to the cinema was to see Charlie Chaplin, and I was bored stiff.”
