Married Women Not Eligible for Teschers-
Routine Business Transacted.
Sumo Of the teachers Of the public school
evidently do not look upon matrimony as in
compatible with the discharge Of their duties
The board Of trustees, however, take another
view. Some time ago rule was adopted which
made the marriage Of teacher equivalent to ,
resignation. In other words, when teache,
marrios her name is dropped from the rolls ant
there is no necessity for further action. At thu
session of the board yesterday further steI
was taken in the same direction. list Of
names was submitted to that body for approval
Of persons who had passed the recent examina-
ton held for teachers positions. There wa
one name In the list Of q woman who was said
to be the wife Of Q clerk in one Of the depart
ments. Objection was made to granting thtf
woman . certificate on the ground that abe had
husband to support her and that there were q
number Of women dependent on their own ex-
ertions who were competent to fill these po-
sitions, and that the preference ought to be
given TO them. The board considered this q
good line Of reasoning, and refused to issue Q
certificate to the woman in question. A a
precedent this action is looked upon as impor-
tant, and il carried out will put q stop to the
further increase in the number Of married
lie schools.
