Items Pcwt cf ths city and Hearty Vicinity 4A -v I Miss Jessie B. Cameron, Director of Kellogg School, Was a Student of the Famous Duncan Sisters Who Revived Ancient Greek Art of "Natural Dancing." MISS JESSIE B. CAMERON, On September 14, 1927. Isadora Duncan, famed American dancer, was killed during an automobile ride at Nice, France, when her scarf caught in a wheel of the car, dragging her out and breaking her neck. During the first two weeks of June, 1928, the former students of the noted dancer, including many of the most famous dancers in the world, will gather in Paris to attend a memorial festival arranged by Raymond and Elizabeth Duncan, brother and sister of the late Isadora, in her memory.

Among them will be Miss Jessie B. Cameron, director of the Kellogg school of physical education of Battle Creek college. About 20 of the former students will be present, of which eigl'. are from the United States. Miss Cameron is the only one in this country who is located outside of New York city and is furthermore the only one who has continued her work along physical educational lines.

Miss Cameron received her training from the Duncan sisters when they maintained a school at Potsdam, Germany, about 40 miles outside of Berlin, in 1922 and 1923, the school being in the palace built for Frederick the Great. Elizabeth Duncan was the outstanding teach er of the two sisters, having her self taught Isadora, who gained her -fame chiefly through her dancing on the stage. The type of dancing which to gether they made famous is a revival from the Greek. Its purpose is the portrayal of a philosophy of life and its method brought about the application of the term "natural dancing," for it differs from the usual types in that it includes no toe or acrobatic dancing. In this revival of the dancing art Miss Duncan was the first to perform a dance without shoes or stockings.

it is said, since before the time of Christ.
