West Chester Local News. ...
Teachers Of the West Chester public
schools, who have been elected for the
coming year, are signing their annual
agreements to keep the vow Of cclibacy

they have been elected. Directors as
rule do not object to matrimony, and as
one of the teachers remarked, the ones
who sign the agreements are permitted
to do as much counting as they like, but
the course Of the school work cannot
be interrupted by designations which
may be presented for hymensal reasons
only, and on this account the oath Of
allegiance must be taken every spring.
