MODERN DANCES.
“INJURIOUS TO YOUNG PERSONg.” DANGERS OF THE JAZZ. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. The present day styles of dancing were criticised by Dr. P. Clennell Fenwick, when speaking before the committee on venereal diseases, which opened its sitting at Christchurch to-day. Dr. Fenwick said: “It is with regret I have to express my opinion that 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 ate, in my opinion, most unhealthy. I feel sure that if these were rendered unfashionable by public opinion a certain amount of unhealthy sexual excitement would be avoided.”
