APPRECIATION BEFORE PRAISE.
There are persons in this world —and the pity is there are not more of them—who care less for praise than for appreciation. They have an Meal after which they «re striving, but which they consciously fall short of—as every one who has a lofty Meal is sure to do. When that ideal is recognized by another, and they are praised or commended for something in its direction, they are grateful—not for the praise, but for appreciation. An element of sympathy enters into that recognition, and they feel that they have something in common with the observer who admires what they admire and praises what they think is most worthy of praise.
