 You have been kept fairly busy for the past few days. MT Editor. and l don't wish 10 make you work harder, but please find little space for what 1 have 10 say.
 I'm not a Sorority girl. not even high school student. I'm not quite seventeen, but working for Il living. Surely there are more worth while. things to be discussed in your column than arguments between people like "Disgusted" and Sorority girls. How can "Disgusted" think about how much this Sorority .,-I spends for dress or ertertaiams Tt or anything else and in what way does it concern her? I'm sure that rot very many people can think only Of clothes and entertainment for themselves for there are people III this very city that are waiting only from pay day to pay day, 70 that they won't starye or go naked.
 Can't "Disgusted" and the Sor- ority and Non-Sorority people forget their troubles and think about something that would really be Of some use to the community?

4 Teacher Advises As To Attitude
 Toward NOuth

Editor, New Britain Herald:
 Constructive criticism is always helpful, Destructive criticism often leads to enmity on the part of both parties involved and is likely to pro- duce results, opposite in character, from those which are most desired, While the criticisms appearing re- gently, pertaining to our school fra ternities and sororities were un- doubtedly impelled by the best or intentions and unquestionably con- tain certain elements of truth. I feel that they are defeating their own purpose. Human faults should be dealt with in kindly manner. Harsh words accomplish little, but frlondliness, consideration and dl- pIomacy, reap rich harvest.
 Let Us keep our young folks out Of the public press. Adopt the ideals Of our public school system. En- courage our young men and women, advise them in q friendly but not dictatorial way, take an interest in their activities, gain their confidence. learn their point Of view, listen to their ideas. It is our duty 10 help and not 10 hinder.
