TWO DIFFERENT METHODS
OF ENCOURAGING TALENT
An Anaoer GiUen to a Young Man Who Believes in the
Other Kind

An INTERESTING young man
"A reader, Romance" who is a
writer, too, berates me on an article
about self confidence recently pub
lished. The article contended self con
fdence ought to be a practical com
modify because this is a practical world I;
that is, that a person ought not to 60
on dreaming dreams too long blindly be-
lieving, but should rather roll up his
sleeves, seek out the bottommost rung
of the ladder and then proceed to
climb.
this particular woman writer does not
believe in encouraging those who are
struggling to do things,
He writes
Of curse you can squeeze water
from rock unless you are a Moses or
n superchemist and the mediocre who
dash off verse on mere caprice
should be disillusioned with truth.
but there are many who do have the
yellow stuff but can't separate it
from the quartz. And encouragement
acts as a heat that releases some of
the mental metal and when they once
see it in actual fact they supply their
own heat. Better by far / think to
encourage nine who will amount to
nothing and produce one real, able
person, than not to encourage any at
all. Encouragement hurts no one
it is cheap it is congenial-warms q
cold heart and fills an empty stomach.
They say mothers have greater in
iuence on genius. Why, because they
always encourage, help on, smile
when others scowl at failure.
VOU are wrong, Romance. I do be.
l. lieve in encouragement, but I believe
in u constructive kind that really help.
rather than leads smilingly on just be.
cause it is easier to say a cheerin,
word than a ~discouraging one.
Let's be very practical again. In tn,
first part of your letter you say. re.
ferring to writing, Failure does no
necessarily imply lack of ability. Their,
is a certain demand by magazines an
when material does not come within
this limit it is discarded, though it may
still bear the stamp of originality
Now, baSing the question on this as.
~sertion, which do you think would b,

the more practical kind Of encourage
ment, to merely take the verse in hand
and say that's a wonderful thought
and I don't see why the magazines don't
take it," or that's a wonderful thoughts
but the poem ought TO be shorter be-
cause the magazines are more apt to buy
the shorter ones?
The second brand Of encouragement
might not be so satisfying to the soul.
but it is the kind that may lead the
poet to sell his poem, Romance.

The Young man will probably get his

it would be well-to give him a trial.
You are both young yet. But do not
announce the engagement, and it

men and girls. But if he does not love
YOU after waiting a year at the most
it would be wiser to make the break.
