form of a resolution reading:
Resolved, That in the employment of
rev teachers. the board of education de
ciares itself opposed to engaging married
women for school room service, unless
when separated from their husbands and
then not upon their own responsibility.
Mr.. Wooliey said in the past he had
noticed women engaged in teaching N
the public schools who had husbands en-
gagged in good paying situations. He be-
leVed when a man took a woman for bet
ter or for worse, and joined hands with
her, and hearts too. in the holy bonds
of matrimoRy, il was not right that she
should go in and teach when less fartu-
nate women VINO were supporting Wild
owed mothers and little brothers and
sisters wanted the places Besides there
were other reasons of which he need not
speak and he didn't either.
