For the first time in 35 years the little town of Milton, Wisconsin, has had a dance, and if the Milton College authorities have their way it will be the last.
Milton is populated by Seventh Day Adventists and dominated by Milton College which the youth of the town and children of Seventh Day Adventists from all over the country attend.
The dance was given by the Badger Club, composed of students and young men of the town.
Afterwards the students of the college threatened rebellion, and the editor of the college paper resigned because of an order from President E. C. Durand that the word "dance" should never again appear in the paper.
A referendum of the students showed that 60 per cent. did not dance, and 40 per cent. acknowledged that they did.
The threatened rebellion subsided a result of the referendum! and the firm declaration of the college authorities that. dancing would remain among the forbidden pleasures along with smoking.
It has been a hoast for years that; the town has no haunt of idleness or dissipation.
