CRITICISM.

Whether justly or unjustly the

remark has been made that it

would not seem like Guilford Col-

lege if some one was not "mad.

It is true that the statement is

rather ambiguous, but if one is a

close observer of existing condi-

tions one will And that there is

more truth in it than might ap-

pear. Some one is forever "peev-

ed" about something. In fact a

large number of our students

seem to wear their feelings on

their coat sleeves and if by chance

some one happens to touch them

they immediately become grouchy

and thus annoy not only them-

selves but also every one with

whom they come in contact.

Then there is another class of

people who, on account of the at-

titude of the former persons, are

continually afraid they will hurt

some one's feelings. They refrain

from acting naturally for fear

their actions will not conform to

the ideas and ideals of others.It has even been intimated that

the GUILFORDIAX does not express

the sentiment of the student bodyalong the line of criticism, that

the Board tries to suppress any-thing for a critical nature for fearsome one would not approve of it.

The Board absolutely denies sup-pressing any article submitted to

it, with two exceptions. One ofthese because of its excessivelength has not yet been published,due only to a lack of sufficientspace; the other was a personalattack pure and simple, in a moodthat was wholly antagonistic, not

to call it by any stronger word,

and such criticism in the opinionof the Board will injure a causemore than it can possibly benefitit. A third article, a very trivialmatter, was lost b}' the printer.These are the only articles turnedin which have not appeared in ourcolumns. So if some one whis-pers to you that the GUILFORDIAXis not willing to be the organ of

the student-body and to expressin its columns the opinions of the

student-body, brand that story as

untrue.

The most helpful sort of criti-cism is that which is constructivein its purpose. If there are abuses

here, criticize them without fear,

but also suggest some plausibleremedy for the evil. Simply to

attack a tiling does little good,

but to draw attention to thetrouble and point out a means ofremedying it may soon result ina complete cure. Such criticismsand suggested changes are whatthe GTILFORDIAX wishes to en-courage and to such its columnsare always open.

Don't criticize simply for thesake of finding fault, dut do criti-

cize with the idea of changing and

remedying unsatisfactory condi-

tions. Try it, and see how will-ingly and gladly the GUILFORDIAXwill give space to your views.

THE BIBLICALSEMINAR.

Meeting met in regular sessionlast Monday night with a rathersmall attendance. The programfor the evening was: A report by.1. R. Brown on "Society's Dutyto Workingmen." He showed thatthe scope of the problem was wideenough to claim our earnest atten-

tion and that some of the ele-

ments of a social policy would beprotection against accidents anddiseases, the regulation of the la-bor conditions, protection of

working women and children, theregulation of factory and work-shop conditions and the legal pro-tection of workmen's right to or-ganize. When all of this is done,they will have an opportunity,and these makers of a nation canengage in a higher life.

The report was very interestingand was followed by a lively dis-cussion.

Our next meeting is Feb. 22,and all members are invited to bepresent.
