The Evil of Skating Rinks

THE skating rink has not yet lost its power for evil. Chief McKane of the New York police force says, according to the New York Times of August 24: “Roller skating rinks ruin more girls than all other causes combined. My police records here are full of such cases.” And yet some still maintain that the rink is a good thing, because they know of girls that are skaters who have not been spoiled by it. Almost as well might it be claimed that war is a good thing because some soldiers have come home from it unharmed.—N. Y. Observer.
