The social dance, by Dr. R. A. Adams.

Adams, R. A. b. 1869. (Revels Alcorn),

CREATED/PUBLISHED
Kansas City, Kan., The author, c1921.

SUMMARY
This antidance treatise is divided into four parts. The first part discusses the physical effects of the dance, and the author concludes that habitual dancers are sick more often and that women are more prone to "female weaknesses." The second section focuses on the dangers of dance on the mind and concludes that many girls fail in school because they dance too much. In the third section, the author argues that dance is immoral and "fires the passions of young women." The concluding section is devoted to detailing passages in the Scriptures that the author interprets as supporting his arguments.
