Doctor of Towns Says:
CRITICISM THE MOTHER OF
PROGRESS
In this day and age, Progress is
out of the question without Crit
icism. But there are two kinds of
Criticism—one good and one bad.
Constructive criticism is good,
for it is caused by honest doubt.
It seeks to study with care, and
learn better ways. It builds, makes
and changes for the better, and
therefore is responsible for many
blessings.
Destructive criticism is bad. It
tears down, destroys. One of its
forms is ridicule. There are three
kinds of people who ever ridicule
anything—the human ass, the out-
and-out destructionist, and the
man who, because he has never
heard of it nbr has ever done it,
pooh-poohs the idea that there is
such a thing or that it can be
done.
Constructive criticism of McCor
mick is boosting, for a fault known
and acknowledged is half cured.
Ridicule of McCormick is knock
ing.
As hot-air is the greatest enemy
of common sense, r . the satisfied-
with-things-as-they-are attitude is
one of the greatest enemies to
community progress; for satisfied
people never crave anything other
than that which they have. They
are those who say, “it is good
enough for me;” and that offers
scant opportunity for making any
thing better.
Dissatisfaction tends to the im
provement of a thing, and causes
thinking people to say, “it is good,
but it can be made better.” That
is good—for thinking and saying a
thing can be made better, lead to
its being made better. .
However, do not confuse dissat-'
isfaction with discontent. Much
less than is needed may satisfy;
less than enough might content
one. If we had been satisfied with
1900 model automobiles there
would never have been any better
ones; satisfied with the broom
there never would have been a
vacuum sweeper.
The man who is satisfied is
want-less. He preaches the gospel
of “let-well-enough-alone.” He is
one of those easy-going individuals
lacking ambition. If you should
take him to dine and ask his pleas- •
ure as to food he would reply, “oh,
I am not particular.”
• It is not an old saying that
“man should be content, but never
satisfied”—content and thankful
for that which he has, happy in
having it, comfortably enjoying it;
but always seeking, striving for
better, that he may be more
thankful, more happy and more
comfortable.
An individual who is satisfied
with his town is a liability to the
community and every one in it.
Show me a town where the major
ity of the people are satisfied, and
I will show you a community that
is not standing the gaff of modem
community competition. A man
who wants to live in a satisfied
community should go to China.
People must be dissatisfied if
their community is to be kept alive,
if new people and new industries
are to be attracted.
That does not mean that every
one should be a grumbler, a
grouch, a hard-head, or chronic
fault-finder; neither does it mean
to pick the other fellow to pieces
and forget to look in the mirror
yourself.
It does mean to keep out of the
rut, to avoid becoming so accus
tomed to McCormick that you fail
to recognize the things that hold
it back, or its advantages on which
you could capitalize.
