o CRITICIZING It is often necessary to criticize. Only by fair, constructive criticism do we reach good judgments. None of us are wise enough to be always absolutely right. But the carping criticism which vents spleen on every person per-son and thing which one does not like, is not criticism at all. It degenerates into petty abuse which defeats its own ends. It neither neith-er aids in the betterment of conditions nor establishes a leadership leader-ship for itself. Officials and leaders of the civic organizations are too often the targets for the destructive type of criticism. It is hard enough for those entrusted with public duties to follow a sane and reasonable course when they have the consideration of their people. To heap criticism and abuse indiscriminately on everybody in a public position is destructive.
