CRITICISM.


THE Monitor, Omaha, Neb.D
Criticism is of two kinds. destruc.
tive and constructive. Destructive
criticism is malicious and has as its
sole object the tearing down of indivi-
duals, institutions, enterprises, bust
ness OIL other. 1t proceeds from the
ignorant however, learned they may
think themselves to be; the super
fetal, the shallow-pated or the en-.
vious and jealous. Constructive cri.
ticism is friendly and has as its OBJ
ject the improvement OF the indivi-
dual. institution or enterprise which
it C%riticiZes. It's aim is to build up,
not to tear down or destroy. 1t pro-
ceeds from the intelligent, who may
not be learned in the lore Of books,
but in the hard and instructive school
of experience; the thoughtful, the
b~roadminded, the sympathetic and
progressive. Constructive criticism is
honest. Destructive criticism is east
ly detected because it is unjust and
untrue.

Norfolk, Va.-The revival conducted
takes, necessarily so, and will make
by Rev. s. Douglass McDuffy at our
church during three weeks of Feb
ruary was blessed by the conversion
of more than ninety souls and seventy
accessions to the church.
He came without any extensive ad-
vertising, but after a few nights there
were great crowds attending and later
on standing Don was at a premium.
During the last nights of his stay
there was from 1900 to 1000 people
in Il church and many turned away.
He is a wonderful magnetic person
ality and fearless preacher OF the
truth. His plain statement of facts
and illustrations by human figures
fixed the truth upon the minds of all
his hearers from the youngest to the
oldest and from the most unlearned to
the most scholarly.
He is enthusiastic but devoid of the
vulgar and foolish and eXaCts from his
hearers the utmost respect and reYer-
ence for the house of God.
He is all action from start to finish
and is certainly a hard worker. He
is a singer of signal ability and uses
the Oldest as well as the newest
hymns. His song service is great and
much use is made of prayer in his
meetings.
He plays the piano with telling eff.
feet and does not allow his singing or
meeting to drag. There is not a dull
moment during the whole service,
Every eye must be kept on him as
there is no telling what he will do
next; and so one is held s%pell-bound
from start to finish,
Our church and our city has been
greatly benefited by his coming to us
and but for his engagements in New
Haven. Conn, would have held hin
longer.
The revival is the talk Of the towr
and all Norfolk, will be glad to wei

of the old Swilton district, and when
they sell this and the Excelsior school
house and lot they will be able to
use the proceeds in making some
needed improvements to the hand
some new building which they have
erected at Midway There is little
more than an acre of land and the
building at Swilton, and about the
same amount of land at Excelsior,
and both have fairly good houses,
and should bring fairly good prices.
The Midway house needs furniture
for the class rooms and for the audi
torium and a lighting plant and many
things that will help to make it COM
Portable, and we know they will soon
have these, because the fine spirit Of
cooperation which is at work will
bring results.

ton in this Anderson traffic ordi-
nance: "Drive carefully at all times,
having regard to width of street,
traffic conditions and never more
than 15 miles per hour. In approach
ing or driving over crossings or
around curves exercise eXtraorGi-
nary care and do not drive more than
six miles per hour"
There are some mighty good sug-
gestions in these regulations for
Newberry. True, in the recent past
we have been very free from acti-
dents. No telling when they VIII
come unless we observe better so.:ic
sensible traffic regulations.
And then in the county Of Ander-
son since they have built some good
roads they are enforcing the state
regulation as to speed. The state
law we believe limits cars to 25
miles the hour. There is not much
use to enforce that law in this coun-
ty until, at least, we can get some
roads, because the speed limit is self
acting in this county at present, un-
less the driver is entirely regardless
of the care of his car.

1t is said that the total enrolment
in Columbia university, New York
city, viii exceed $1,000. Which is
why we would say that no one in this
part of the country who would like
TO send his sons or daughters to an
outside institution should send them
to Columbia university. No univers-
ity in the world, however great its
endowment, or numerous its corps Of
teachers can give anything like
proper attention to a mob of $1,000
students. The value of an educa-
.tional institution does not consist in
the number of it's students but large
" in the human touch between the
teacher and the student.-Spartan-

This school opened some days ago
with Misses Watson and Lominick
as teachers. The two districts of
Zion and New Hope decided some
time ago to consolidate, and while
waiting for the erection of the new
building for the consolidated district,
to hold school at the Zion school
house. This makes it little incon-
venient for some of the patrons, but
it was thought best to suffer this
temporary Inconvenience in order
that better school and better facll1-
ties may be contained in the near
future. County Superintendent E.
H. Aull will visit this school on Fri
day, October 22, at IL o'clock noon,
and hopes to have all the patrons and
friends of the school meet him there
at that time. The purpose is to talk
over conditions in the district and see
what is best to do just now for the
interests of all the children Of the
district. This is busy time, it is
realized, but the educational inter-
ests of the community are among the
biggest and most important, and to
spend an hour or two in talking over
the conditions will not cost any one
much loss of time, and in fact it will
not be a loss Of time to discuss and
plan for the betterment and the edu-
cation of the children, and it should
be a pleasure as we'll as a privilege
to spend little time in these mat
ters. Let all of the friends of the
district and patrons and women come
to this meeting. They will not be de-
tanned very long.

It is getting time to hold the coun-

know who was the president last

of the teachers to suggest time for
meeting and organization for the
new year. All of the schools OF the
county have about started the work
for the year, and it would be well
for the teachers to get acquainted
with one another, and / am going
to suggest that the first meeting be
held on Saturday, October 80, at II
o'clock. My idea would be to prom
Use the teachers that the meeting
would not last more than hour, and
certainly all the teachers who are at
I'll interested in the work would be
willing to spend that much time IN a

meeting of the year will be held on
Saturday, October 80, and all the
teachers in the county are expected
to be present. Announcement Will
be made in the next paper as to the
place, but l suppose it will be con-
venient to have it in the Newberry

You will all desire, suppose, to
attend the state meeting at Spartan
burg the latter part of November,
and we should make some arrange
ment in regard to that meeting.
