THE VILLAGE PEssIsIIsT

The village pessimist is described
as the man who sees little good in
his town or its people. He always
sees and brings to notice of others
the dark spots in his town. This
man should be "steam-rollered." He
is detriment to the city A man
may not be too optimistic but he
should be able to see the good points
of his town (and every town has
them) and If he is going to say any
thing about his town. why not talk
of the good things he knows, rather
than the bad ones. There are rough
spots in all towns. The point is,
exploit the good points and do not
emphasize the bad ones. The old
saying, "a knock is boost" may go
in some cases, but the knocker and
the pessimist are of the same stripe,
the pessimist is 100 percent worse.
Be an optimist-not pessimist.
Speak we'll of your town to all
strangers. Form the habit.

BIG CONGRESS-
ON THE SCHOOLS
DR.. Finegan Plans to Have
States Leading Business
Men and Educators Here

An educational congress OF busi-
ness and professional men, educa-
tors and State officials for the bur-
pose of discussing the schools of
Pennsylvania and such readjust-
ments as may be necessary as a re-
suit of the war has been arranged
for the State Capitol in the week OF
November 10 by DR.. Thomas e.
Ffnegan, the State Superintendent
of Public Instruction.
The congress will be something
never before held in Pennsylvania.
and Governor William c. Sproul will
not only take an active part but Will
cooperate with DIR. Finegan by in
viting leading men of the State to
attend. The idea is to have promi-
nent educators. including members
of faculties Of universities, colleges
and high schools and school officials
OF pennsylvania, educators from
other states and leading men in the
business and professional life of
Pennsylvania advise with the edu-
Gators of the State in a general way
on the work that should be accom-
plished in the schools in the Ian
guage of DR.. Finegan. The super-
intendent thinks that the close of
the war has brought problems of
education to the industrial Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania.
Ideas as to what should be the
basis of instruction in all of the
schools will be exchanged. During
the day there will be at least mr.
teen conferences on special subjects
and in the evening general sessions
az which educators and businessmen
could speak. The day conferences
would be more or less informal TO
develop thoughts on what the
schooi system needs with such
formal addresses as are scheduled
TO be delivered at night. Some of
the most prominent men in Penn
sylvania will be asked to attend.
This congress is the first of a
series of steps TO be taken to re-
1uvenate the educational work of
the state government The an
nouncement followed upon the ap-
pointment of the first heads of the
new bureaus, which will be followed
by other reorganization steps.
