Motto Of Dulles Is “Don’t Worry; And Keep Busy”

By WARREN ROGERS Jr.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Cnises eome and crises go—Korea, For- mosa, Indochina, Hungary, Suez, ’ Lebanon and Itgg, Berlin — but John Foster D goes on and on.

Shrugging away illnesses, the 70-year-old U.S. secretary of state gives the impression of a man who takes good health and iong life for granted.

“Don’t worry and keep busy” is his motto.

When a cancer operation laid him low Nov. 3, 1956, he hardly lost stride. Ina few days he was firing off cabled id telep oning orders from bedside.

HE CARRIES ON gi

When discomfort, -if not down- right pain, hit him in Mexico City last Nov. 30, he swore his aides to secrecy and carried on with his isual aplomb. He attended the inauguration of T -esident Algonsd, Lopez Mateos, made a speech im San Francisco and then — five days later—checked into’ Walter ‘Reed Medical Centre here.

His ailment was diagnosed as diverticulitis of the colon. This means a weak section of the lower intestine swells into a pouch, much as a bump forms on a balloon ‘or auto tire.

Inflammation and pain results and, if medication and rest do not clear it up, an operation is neces- sary to strengthen the weak spot with stitches.

Dulles. settled down to a regi- men of strict bed rest, bland diet, antiseptic washes and detective stories. When the time came he flew away for the Dec. 16-18 At- Jantic pact ministerial meeting. RAISES QUESTION

o

The natural question is, how does he do it? “I like the work,’ he said in

intervié. “I. fimi it challeng-| always stimulating. But the| big thing that keeps me going is the confidence of the president. As long as my health permits and

as long as President Eisenhower wants me, I will stay on as ‘see-l retary of state.”’

Dulles said he never worries about adverse criticism, and he acknowlédged there has been a lot.

“As a matter of act I don’t read all that stuff about me very much,”” he said. ‘“‘What good would it do? It wouki Only make me mad and that would interfere with my work.”

Dulles spends about 11 hours a day taking care of what he calls “technical details.’’ That is, when he is not flying of to some foreign capital. He has logged about 550,- 000 miles of travel since he took 1953.

RELAXES IN CHAIR

When in Washington. he gets to his desk ‘about 8:20.a.m. He lunches in his back office, usu- ally relaxing for about an hour

back and supports the whole body. He goes home about 7:15 p-m., generally still readiag

something ‘by the dome light in the rear of his “limousine.

He tries, to avoid taking work home with him. If he has no. for- mal dinner to go to, he and Mrs. Dulles might play a little back-| gammon before retiring. He usu- ally reads himself to sleep with detective stories.

When he feels the need of a few days away from it all, he flies to Duck Island in Lake Ontario. There. he and Mrs. Dulles set up shop in a log cabin. They fish, watch birds, cook and wash dishes.

EDUCATIONAL HORIZONS

BY HOWARD ECKEL

Ask the next five people you -how- they define quality teaching and you'll get five dif- ferent answers.-Bet this you can count on - they ‘will remember; at ‘most, two teachers who real- ly made an impact on their liv- - two who could be called quai- ity teachers.

What is quality teaching and how do we get quality teachers? I recently asked this question of a number of people from various walks of life. The, comments made concerning experiences with teachers lead one to be- lieve that few of them are re- membered as being effective and influential. Apparently, most people have~ never experienced a really close relationship pr main- tained a lasting friendship with any of their teachers. Many do not look upon their teachers or their school experiences as being particularly pleasant or effective. LASTING EFFECT

On the other hand, a great tea- cher has & deep and lasting ef- fect on people. Many teachers in- terviewed - especially those who love to teach - said they. decided to become teachers because of the influence of one or two teach- $78 when on tour--and spend $$/ers in their lives. Those who

What kind of person does it take to be.a quality teacher? What are his personal character- istics? What does he believe? How does he view himself, other people, and the world in which he lives? Great teachers live comfortably with themselves. They have self-respected.and self- assurance and are, therefore; not afraid to act, to express themselves, to reach out to make mistakes. They are aware of their own strengths and limitations. They .are what we call self-ac- cepting people. They do not seem to be highly evaluative of others; instead of classifying people as good or bad, they see others as unique, different human beings. They are challeng- ed by wide individual differences in their relationship for person development. ‘

And so it is with the teaching of children. A teacher can best

spend his efforts in creating a climate in which the learner can unfold and blossom. The climate is all that the teacher can control. The learner controls who he is and what he may become.

Great teachers like people with whom they work, and they love to teach. They find real satisfac- tion in seeing each pupil unfold and blossom. They are willing and eager to give much of them- selves to help others. In a sense, with the master teacher, t ing- is in itself the maximum re- ward.

CATCHING

Quality teachers are deeply in- terested in and have a broad knowledge of their environment. Those who work with these great teachers are impressed with the knowledge and enthusiasm com- municated with the teacher. Us-

The prob- lem of quality teaching is de- pendent more or lesson the -va- lues reflected by the social group. if a culture values material things - fur coats powerful auto- mobiles, big houses, - we can expect that teachers .and chil- dren will also attach value to these things. If the culture sees income as an index of the re- ceiver’s worth, teachers, too, will likely hold this belief.

Apparently our culture does not place a high value on teach- ing. How many young people as- pire to become teachers? How many teachers are proud to ‘say, “T am a teacher.” Our reluc- tance to pay a salary compar- able to other professions is indi- cative of their low niche in so- ciety’s totem pole. If we. as par- ents, behave toward our teach- ers as though they have little va- lue or worth, they will probab- ly treat our children in a similar way.

Wf the quality of teaching is to

be improved, attention must be g.ven to the selection and prepar- ation of teachers. Under the pre- sent teacher education plan too few young people are selecting for a career and too few people are remaining in the teaching profession to fulfil present needs.

One reason that we have dif-

ficulty recruiting, developing, and keeping quality teachers is that we clutter schools with so many things that are peripheral to the deeper purposes expressed through quality teaching. Whole school staffs often devote atten-
