OPTIMISM -
There is a fooiish optimism' just as
surely as •there is a reasoned optimism.
It is easy to say: "A71's for the best fn
the best of possible worlds," but a lit-
tle level thinking makes that saying
more trite than truce.
The Micawberish temperament,
which is .content to wait for "some
thing to turn 'ep" instead of setting.
earnestly to work to turn something
up, is just a form-ef seif-deoeption.
But I gm holding a brief for reasoned
optimism, because it Is a great spur
to the best endeavor, lust as the fool-
ish optimism of a Micawber Is another
word for footing futility:
Shakespeare was usually just in his
genoralizatlous, as, for isatanoe, when
he said: "This oonecieekee doth make
cowards 02 us all" or "A.iouch of ne-,
tune makes the whole world kin." But
he did not always ring so, true. •
He said "The •evil that men do lives.
after thein', the' good ie oft interred

tic saying, and all peseimlem, in es-
sence, is false. This is. The first sem.
teams 1s correct; none eau deny it. His-
tory preeemts a long reoord of the
baleful and long -enduring effect 02 evil
deeds, e •
I deny that the second statement is
true. At least, if good suffers -burial
it enjoys an absolutely certain resur-
rection. We used to sing: "Bind
words can never die." That is not
Shakespeaa'eano but It is trues His-
tory shows that the eternal efficacy of
good is a far bigger reality than cite
permanent effect of evil.
The man who said "Truth is mighty
and sball prevail" said a big thing, as
big as it is true. We need to take long
views where matters of influence are
concerned•, Far instance, whose in-
fluence has been the more persistent,

Neglect Means Gad Health.
Mliny people say they cannot sleep
unless they read themselves into a
sleepy state.: This is a gross, .error;
by reading in bed they are straining
their eyes, and thus adding another to
the many modern'eauses of insomnia.
Even today there are parents who
deliberatelyrefuso to let their children
wear the prescribed glasses because
these spoil their looks. This is redly-
cruel, foreye trouble In many cases
can be corrected in childhood. Al-
lowed to go uncorrected into adult life
it becomes jchronic.
Every child should be taken, 'as a
matter of course to an .oculist. And
every, adultwho has to use his, or her
eyes continuously should consult an
ocnulist. Neglect may • mean bad
health; it may even moan actual blind-
ness, .
Lord Grey of F allados, when For-
eign Secretary, was -warned by an ocul-
