Tuesday, Fei:ruary 7, at 2 o‘clock, at the regular monthly meeting of the Highland Park Woman‘s club, the attractive and thoughtful assoâ€" ciate editor of that magazine will give a timely talk on the subject, "We Think." In spite of the general world conâ€" fusion and its resultant pessimism, Barclay Acheson, as an editor who has read widely and a deep student of history who had ltudig much, is a confirmed optimist. While he recognizes the seriousness of the problems of our present decade, he believes that on viewing them in a wider perspective, they show a decided advance in the most debatâ€" & ’m:rga’lé." ffl;i’%:‘dii' ; this conclusfon by comparing eonditions of a century ago with those.of toâ€" day. He concludes that our conâ€" temporary problems are not: caused by any inadequacy of democratic institutions, but, instead, are the inevitable aftermath of our sucâ€" cessful efforts to solve the problems that dominated the thought of the nineteenth century. In "discussing the cause of our phenomenal â€"adâ€" vance as a nation, he attributes much of our success to the free exâ€" ercise of individual initiative, and the peculiar genius of enlightened minorities for leadership, He has little genius of enlightened minoriâ€" ties for leadership. He has little use for the prophets of gloom or a philogophy of despair. In fact, he is positive that it is our duty to rear our children in a mental cliâ€" mate cha@racterizef by hope and courage. Such a message of cheer from a scholar, a social worker, a traveller, and a business man of wide interests will be welcomed by the many memâ€" bers of the Woman‘s Club and their guests on February 7. .
