[Abraham Owen Woodruff] We discussed at length the subject of round-dancing & dancing schools. Pres[iden]t. [Lorenzo] Snow said we should have all our amusements under the control of the Priesthood. Use moderation in round-dancing but don't drive the young away because we do not allow the[m] to round-dance but allow it in moderation. See that our balls are select.
