'One of the great evils of the

should preserve the moral and
spiritual side of existence. If they

Married Women in the Schools

Married Women i'll the Schools.
Chicago Record Herald,
If the Omaha school board is
consistent body it will make its
prohibition against married teachers
apply to both sexes. The married
woman has as much right to teach
as the married man, but nationally
considered marriage has nothing to
do with the case, and neither has
sex. The public is under no OBJ
legations to discriminate upon such
points in such a competition. 1t is
not its duty to go into the in
dustrial and sociological question as
to whether the single woman should
be preferred" to the married or
either should be preferred to a man
in the married or unmarried state.
No man or woman as such has any
claim to school employment, and
the single duty Of the community is
to see that it has good teachers.
Capacity to teach is not conferred
by marriage, but neither is 1t taken
away. We do not doubt that
among married women teachers
there are some who are superior in
their capacity to 90 per cent. Of the
single sisters. And if they have
attained to degree Of excellence
which is manifest in their work the
public needs them right where they
ares
