1t is not easy, nor Is It always desir-

pleasant and to refrain from adverse
criticism Of any one. present or absent.
Prejudice is detrimental to social in

to say. for instance. that Jews are un'

that Qupkers are penurious, that the
French are insinCcre. the English hypo-
critical. the Italians vindictivc. and so
