Mrs. Duncan will take a vacation in Hawaii and visit her daughter in California. She has not decided whether to remain in Marion. Miss Kirk is leaving teaching reluctantly.

"I'd just like to be a part of the new that is coming. I'm sorry I won't be a part of the new ideas," she said. Surely Clara Kirk and Ilrs. Russell Duncan have affected eternity. They've shown white pupils that Negroes can be more than janitors and maids and have given Negro children reason to set their goals higher.

Asked what she thinks about the world situation today, Mrs. Duncan said: "If you mean my opinion of the Negroes who are raising sand in these colleges, they ought to take their books and go home.

What do they know about the Establishment? What do they know about what it takes to make a college? They should go out into the world and make their way before expressing opinions on the way things should be changed." Miss Kirk said, "Those people who are on campuses who do not wish to go to school should be enjoined from keeping others who wish to go from going. There has been in my opinion too much publicity given to the anti's and not enough given to those wonderful college students who are really trying to secure an ed- Pain serves as an important warning signal which can help pinpoint hidden trouble. Heed your body's warning signal see your doctor! YOUR Qfexalt) By Suzi Hagen Of The Southern Illinoisan Henry Adams wrote, "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." Clara Kirk and Mrs. Russell Duncan have taught hundreds of pupils in their combined 76 years in education. Through their pupils they will affect Marion for years to come.

Miss Kirk is retiring after 41 years of teaching and s. Duncan after 35 years. Beth are graduates of Southern Illinois University. "I shudder to think of the future without children. Children are so much a part of my life," Miss Kirk said.

She became a teacher because of a 'desire for service some way that I might try to help others All my young life it had been an accepted fct that I would go to college and get an education. It never occurred to me that I would do anything else. It was a dream of my parents." Mrs. Duncan said, "My grandmother had hopes for me and when I was young the only responsible jobs women could get were teaching school and this is what my grandmother hoped for me." Both women taught elsewhere before coming to Douglass School in Marion. For years they were the only tea- PHARMACY chers the school's pupils had.

The all-Negro school was closed four years ago and the pupils now attend other unit schools. Both teachers think closing the school was good but had a drawback. Activity Ended Douglass was looked on as a community center by the people of Gent's Addition. They actively took part in school programs but since it closed participation has lessened, Miss Kirk said. Mrs.

Duncan said educaton-ally the Negro pupils have benefited from the school's closing. She said having so many different grade and age levels at one time limited what she could do. "For me I'm very happy to be at Logan and have one grade. It's been just heavenly for me. I've felt I could do what I did not have time to do before because too many grades were in the room." IVIrs.

Duncan feels a teacher should approach educating each child differently. "Each child is an individual. You have to approach teaching with the child in mind. You take each child as you find him and do what you can with him Some thrive on praise and others have to be quarreled with a little." Miss Kirk agreed. "No two classrooms are alike.

The biggest thing is that you use what is best for the children you're working with. Do whatever you must for the benefit of the children. There is no reason for teachers or schools if not for the benefit of children." Wall Down Now She said at Douglass "It Don't suffer relieve pain in seconds as millions do with 0RA-JEL.
