VIEWS OF OTHERS
It Pays to Be Optimistic
Tho remark is often made that it
is better to expect tho worse be-
cause it is such a pleasant surprise
to Jiave tho best happen. Certainly
that is very optimistic pessimism' for
if the pleasant surprise is the end
toward whjch . tho peslmism is di-
rected then tho melancholy attitude
is nothing moro than an outward
cloak!
Tho pessimistic attltudo causes
worry. Psychology holds that worry
is a substitute reaction. We worry
over things about which we can do
nothing. Worry accomplishes no good.
Think how much moro pleasant it is
to do your best and dream of the
blessings to come; than to labor over
a problem with nothing to anticipate
but miserable failure. Tho expecta-
tion of something pleasant lasts
hours or even days. If a man has
done his best tho heavy oods aro for
success. The optimist enjoys cheer-
ful anticipation and realization if his
optimism is rewarded; and if he fail
at least ho has been happy for a time
and his sense of .failure will not last
long. The pessimist suffers long and
agonizing expectation; realization
only brings deeper despair and tho
feeling of triumph in case of unlooked
for Success is soon swept away by
tho greater accomplishment of some-
one else.
Some people worry when they are
happy because they know the happi
ness cannot last and at some' future
time there will bo something to worry
about. That is pessimism in tho ex-
treme. The pessimist not only makes
himself miserable but thoso around
him suffer. Even a determined op-
tlmts finds it impossible to with-
stand' the continuous dark predictions
av his sadder brother. On the other
hand tho optimist radiates good "will
and happiness. It is natural to seek
for companions those who smile
those good sports who take what life
sands with a grin.
pptlmism pays because it makes us
happier and it is our duty to be
happy. Optimism is a kind of charity
wo show to ourselves and pur fellow-
men. Daily Texan.
; The Fanner's Child
Ono of the1 most interesting revela-
tions of a recent survey conducted by
the University of Illinois was tho
largo percentage of students whose
parents are farmers. Moro than 11-
0Q0 students ' were included in tho
survey. Thirty per cent of tho stu-
dents aro sons nnd daughters of far-
mers and 1399 parents are skilled or
Unskilled laborers. There are among
tho parents of students junk dealers
blacksmiths policemen watchmen
pjumbers miners porters street car
conductors barbers and bell-hops.
Professional men scientists and busi-
ness men constitute the majority of
tho parents but the statistics show
thtjt intelligence is not a matter of
class distinction.
To think that 30 per cent of the
students of a great university aro
farmer's children is a matter com
manding of interest. The survey re
veals many interesting facts. But
thej most interesting fact is that the
farmer is not content to have his son
or aaugmer among me ijoouuo illit-
erates in the nation.
The modern American farmer is
daily helping his occupation to become
a 'profession by giving his son and
his daughter special training. Daily
Lariat.

much for perfumes so had -the hot

Two Mary Frances girls talked to
some Daniel Baker boys Sunday
morning. Ono of tho boys was a
rather tall brunett and that's all
they have talked about since then.

been a loyal Simmonite and we are
hoping sho will soon bo able to re-
turn to school.
Miss Head has been ill for tho past
few days but wo nro glad to know

ness Men's banquet last Monday eve

pecially favors "enthusiastic co-operation."

Winning the West
Irrigation by electrically driven pumps has made
hundreds of thousands of acres of desert land in the
Intermountain West blossom like the rose.
For a few cents a month per acre electricity the giant
worker- brings the life-giving water from distant lakes
and rivers to rainless valleys producing rich harvests
of fruits and vegetables cereals and forage.
What electricity is doing for the farmer is only a
counterpart of what it is doing for Industry Trans-
portation City and Country life or any of the profes-
sions. It is a tool ready for your use and which wisely
used will make the impossible of today an accomplished
fact tomorrow.
How electricity does these things is important to the
student in a technical school but what electricity can
do is important to every college man or woman no
matter what their life's work may be.
