THURSDAY BROOKLYN TIMES UNION DECEMBER 12, 1935 HE CAN'T LEARN, HIS LESSONS IF HE WON'T LISTEN TO THE TEACHER By ROBERT In rural regions, the oldest answer to lay criticism is the scathing retort that an old maid can always tell parents how to rear their children. It isn't very effective sarcasm, however, for any old maid with good sense could tell most 1 parents how to improve their methods; and those who resent the old maid's advice about children are 1 the first to tell her how she herself should live though they never were old maids. The truth is that any intelligent person can criticize intelligently without training in the art criticized. The best of literary critics never wrote a novel; the best dramatic critics are not playwrights; and the most competent critics of politics and statesmanship are neither politicians nor statesmen. It isn't difficult to make criticism.

The hard part is to take it. If you would measure a man's intelligence and prospects, offer friendly and constructive criticism and observe his reaction. Of course everybody resents ill-humored criticism that is mere "knocking," and few welcome the uninvited and impudent criticism of a stranger. But if the criticism is without malice and sensible and justified, the response to it gives the measure of the man. If he "can't take it," he is a mentally immature knowit-all who never will learn except by hard knocks, or his brain has begun to ossify and no longer is capable of absorbing new ideas.

Of course there may be exceptions-men supreme in their field and thus without a peer competent to offer criticism. Such as these might with justice resent criticism, but the probability is they wouldn't. Those who resent it usually are incompetents doomed to fail or the embittered victims of competition who have already failed. The critic is your best friend however bitter the dose he offers. For a man doesn't make progress till he is dissatisfied; he isn't dissatisfied till he sees his faults; and he seldom sees his faults till somebody points them out.

DR. W. H. HALL DIES; CHORAL DIRECTOR Founder of Brooklyn Oratorio Society Was Professor Emeritus at Columbia. Dr.

Walter Henry Hall, 73. founder of the Brooklyn Oratorio Society and formerly active in the musical affairs of the Church of the Holy Trinity, died yesterday after a long illness, in his home, 39 Claremont Manhattan. He had at one time resided in Brooklyn Heights. Dr. Hall, a celebrated choral director, was professor emeritus of choral and church music at Columbia University at the time of his death.

Dr. Hall was born in London in 1862. He became, when 17, organist of the Anglican or Church at Penshurst, England, near Sidney Castle. At 18 he was director of the Lavender Hill Chorus of London. He was educated in English grammar schools and by private tutors until he entered the Roval Academy of Music in London.

where he studied for four years. He came to the United States in 1883 and served as organist and choirmaster at St. Luke's Church. Germantown. St.

Peter's Protestant Episcopal Church. He also was organist and choirmaster at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Manhattan, for several years. The Brooklyn Oratorio Society was founded by Dr.

Hall in 1893, and he served as its conductor until it was merged with the Columbia University Chorus. He was one of the founders and second warden of the American Guild of Organ1sts. Going to Columbia University as lecturer in music and director of choral music in 1909, he was elevated the rank of professor in 1913, that served until 1930, when he became professor emeritus, and received the degree of doctor of music from Wesleyan University. While at Columbia, he was responsible for the revival of "descant," a method of singing popular in Elizabethan days, in which a picked group of soprano voices carries a melody above that of the others on special verses. It has become popular in churches throughout the United States since first employed in the services at St.

Paul's Chapel, Columbia University, in 1926. His last public appearance as conductor was on May 5, when in spite of serious illness he insisted FUNERAL J. DIRECTORS" Inc Featuring SERVICE AND ECONOMY CHAPEL, 115 ATLANTIC AVE. Near Henry St. Lafayette Chapel, 38 Lafayette Ave.

Gaynor. Founded Restaurant in 1879 He founded restaurant in 1879, with Charles Gage, a Wall they St. broker to whom he used to sell cigars, as his partner. The story of the forming of the partnership was that one day Mr. Gage happened to buy cigars from Mr.

Tollner in a booth in Fulton He suggested the restaurant idea to Mr. Tollner, and asked him how. soon he would be ready to start. "I'll start right now," Mr. Tollner replied.

Mr. Tollner and Mr. Gage lost control of the restaurant in 1911, when a large lobster house moved next door and they were afraid it would run them out of business. The establishment was sold to the firm of Cunningham Ingalls, which retained the original name and also kept the two former owners as employes. Mr.

Cunningham died a few years later, and Mr. Ingalls asked Mr. Tollner to become his partner. He refused, saying he would rather take orders than be responsible for the running of the restaurant. Retired as Manager Bradford Dewey bought the restaurant in 1921, retaining Mr.

Tollner as general manager. Mr. Dewey said today his greatest difficulty was to make Mr. Tollner stop working. He came in every day at seven in the morning and only with difficulty could he be persuaded to leave before 6 o'clock at night.

Mr. Tollner was a teetotaler, and the only time he ever took a drink was on New Year's Eve in 1933, when he drank to Mr. Dewey's health, believing that it was the last time he would have an opportunity to do so. He was one of the first persons in New York to ride a high -wheeled bicycle. On his 85th birthday last December Mr.

Tollner opened the doors of the restaurant at 7:30 A. as he had done for the previous 55 years. Among those who stopped by that day to congratulate him were Supreme Court Justice Lewis L. Fawcett, who recalled having eaten his first meal away from home at the restaurant nearly half a century ago; Presiding Justice Edward Lazansky of the Appellate Division, Rear Admiral Robert Forshew, retired: Frank V. Kelly and John R.

Crews. Refused Glass of Wine In the party that partook of the birthday cake in the afternoon were Seth Bradford Dewey, present owner of the restaurant, and Frank Baker, brother of former Secretary of War Newton D. Baker. Even on that occasion Mr. Tollner refused to drink a glass of wine.

Mr. Tollner and his former partner, the late Charles M. Gage, were in business together for 40 years and never had a dispute. Mr. Tollner named his son after Mr.

Gage, Mr. Tollner was born in lower Manhattan, a son of the late Charles Tollner. His mother was a member of the Schlemmecher family, later to become widely known in the hardware industry. Mr. Tollner was educated in Dutfield, and then became associ4 ated with his father in business.

He later moved to Brooklyn, where he operated a small cigar store. It was while there that he formed the partnership with Mr. Gage, who, at that time, was proprietor of a small oyster and chop house at 202 Fulton st. Mr. Tollner owned and drove his own horse and carriage for years.

His son still has a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Tollner, the former Lucy W. Hedge, driving a sled in Pros-: pect Park. Mr.

Tollner purchased one of the first automobiles in Brooklyn, and drove until 1924. Mrs. Tollner died Dec. 3, 1923. The couple formerly resided at 133 Willoughby st.
