For the cultivated man there is no
virtue in either optimism or pes
simism. Some people think il Is a
duty to be optimistic. and for some
people it may be duty; but one OF
the great uses Of education is to teach
US to be neither one nor the other.
In the management OF our personal
affairs. we try to be neither one nor
the other. In business, a persistent
and uproarious optimist would certain
ly have poor credit. And Why Be
cause in business the Trustworthy
man. rs everyone knows. is the man
who sees things as they are: and TO
see things as they are. without a
glamour or illusion. is the first eondI-

lutely essential in war. in finance. in
