THE VALUE OF CRITICISM

Don't let the thought of being criti'
cised spoil the intention 10 do some
thing good or to attempt some worthy
achievement Every person who at
| tempts to rise or to extend his influ-
/ ence is liable to the criticism of the
envious and the thoughtless.
"Censure and criticism never hurt
anyone" said Gladstone. IF true they
show man his weak points and fore
warn him against failure and trouble;
if false they cannot hurt him unless he
is wanting in character"
If we are put on guard as to the
weak points in our character we can
remedy the defects. If we are allowed
10 go on without criticism or censure
we are liable to allow these weak places
To be the means of destroying the
strength and beauty of both orr repu-
tatiOn and character. People living in
countries where dykes or levees are
used to keep the sea back or rivers in
confinement know the value of watch
ing for weak spots and pay the high
est tribute to the man or woman who
detects leak in the wall. Now each
person living i'm the dyke countries
realizes that if the leak is not at once
taken care OF il imperils the existence
of all within reach of the flood.
The wise man realizes that when a
weakness in his character is pointed
out he is given an opportunity to make
repairs and that failing to do this he
invites whole flood of evils that may
destroy the character he has been so
long and so patiently building up.
The person who criticizes is so fire.
auently looked pom as a foe that one
looks upon all criticism as censure. and
all censure as an evidence of ill-will
Exactly the reverse is frequently the
case. To men Of a certain type and
criticism at all is taken as a declara-
ton Of hostility and Immediately there
is preparation for warfare and reprisal
This should not be. When criticism
is directed towards us we should study
the matter as earnestly as we would
study any other important problem that
interests US. and we should seek to an
ply remedy to the defect pointed out
The criticism may not have been given
in the most friendly spirit, but we can
thus turn ii to our own account
More big successes have been built
upon criticism that the world will ever
know. Men of the right mental caliber
understand its value and turn it to
their profit. and perfect their character
and round out their careers by il.
One of the surest indications of
tendency towards failure is the resent
ment of criticism and refusal to re-
spond to censure by the right kind of
action. Self-satisfaction has ruined
more promising careers than could be
listed i'm day of hard work. and criti-
cism accepted and properly applied has
made more than could be enumerated
in the same length of time.

The fable of the monkey which
used the paws of a cat wherewith
to rake the monkeys chestnuts out of
the hot Goals has been verified in
Arizona-with Jonathan Bourne of
oregon acting as the monkey. and
Arizona stupidity acting the part of a
willing cat
Bourne is a northumberland and a
crooked politician. Getting his start
in politics by crooked use of his
money. he hopes to gain still greater
prominence i'm the country by posing
as reform" statesman. Those who
know him best assert that he even

could be persuaded TO adopt the Ore

as a mere matter of news bring on
widespread discussion of the reasons
why statehood was lost. This would
place Bourne in the center of the
limelight. as the champion of the

In pursuance of his plan, he last
summer flooded the territory with his
speech setting forth the beauties Of
the Oregon plan." and flooded the
territory with letters. Up to that
time the average citizen had never
heard of the Oregon doctrines but
the Bourne bait was eagerly swal-

Nobody would have been so disap-

shown sufficient judgment to turn

Union. What he wanted was Arizona
in the role of a vicarious sacrifice for
his benefit
Utterly cold blooded and selfish.

Is the usual age for beginning school

OF impressing mothers with the fact
that the boy or girl which begins at
seven or eight, absorbs more quickly

child.
Three hours day is enough study
for any child during its first year
or two OF school life; especially at
the ages of six and seven.
Children of this tender period
should also anticipate the ills of
faulty stomachs, by eating warm
meals regularly. At the school age de-
layee toilets are responsible for much
of the constipation, defective diges

alton of grown-ups. Nowhere Is the
