In the Board of Education, under rule
to dismiss lady teachers who marry, Presi-
!, dent Stubs protested against the discharge
of lady and presented the written opin'
ions of the City Attorney and of McAllis.
ter and Bergin that the rule is not properly
rule, and if so it is illegal as against pub
lie policy and good morals, etc. Mr.. Cow
derry, in his opinion, says: "In my opin-
lOu tHo iauf tedCutT Is ueuleu VIC equal
protection of the laws if she is discharged
from any public employment because she
has entered into matrimony. No one will
deny that it is the policy of our govern.
3 ment TO encourage matrimsny. The Home.
stead and Exemption laws are examples oi
governmental protection to the matrimonial
state. The title of the law of March 80,
1875, can Act to Prevent Discrimination
\ Against Female Teachers" though relating
' to equality of compensation, is in spirit
clearly averse to all determinations on ac
r count of the condition of female teachers.
1t is safe to say that in the State of Cali
fornia no disabilities attach to females
S which are not set out in the Constitution,
t Statutes and Codes, and can find no war
s rant for such rule in the law. In my
opinion no rule OF the Board of Education
i is binding which is not applicable to all
t teachers, irrespective of sex or condition.
A rule of a Board of Education which in
effect discourages the marital relation i:
: cancelled by rule of society which en-.
: courages matrimony." The matter was
g laid over one week.
