TEACHERS WHO MARRY.

PHILADELPHIA Record.


A young woman teacher in a New York
school has been summoned for trial before
the Board OF Education for her failure TO re-
sign when she was married She proposes 10
test the constitutionality OF the rule which
provides that no married woman may teach.
This rule is quite general. and no doubt 10
has prevented many women teachers from
marrying. =
1t is obvious that except in the view OF
school boards marriage Is not a crime. That
women should marry and establish homes ~
held TO be a duty TO society and 10 the Ma
ton; yet when a teacher, no matter how
well qualified for her duties, fuinils THIS
mission she Is compelled to reliEQuish her
work. Probably the contention OF the teach
er IN this case will be that as the male
teacher is not subjected TO any penalty Tor
marriage, IL is an unwarranted. unjust ana

on the woman.

the revision was intrusted.
In defense of themselves the members Of
the committee have published a communica-

against the Importance which is generally
given to good spelling. They affirm that the

through practice. In a vast proportion OF
cases bad spelling may be traced to wrong
pronunciation, which is even more frequent
than is wrong spelling. Probably the mod
ern methods of instruction have something
TO do with the number of bad spoilers

spelling bee system insured repetition. In
recent years the writing Of the spelling les

of the oral system. The men and women

1t intellectual vigor is given an
auttet on the stock farm, equally
true is it that intellectual vigor
finds noble field in the farm
home. There have been many
definitions of the word home, all
showing some phase that appeals
to the speaker. An inclusive
definition is something like this:
Home is a place and an opportun.
ity for the complete development
of the physical, mental and spir-
itual natures and inferentially for
the same enjoyment of life. The
farm home offers peculiar oppor-
tunity for the development of the
physical. This goes without
saying. a happy childhood in
the open air is the inheritance of
the farm child. and the force Of

Quite apart from the enhanced
market value pure bred stock has
another value which is not always
estimated at its true worth-the
value of its influence upon the
intellectual life Of the family.
One needs only go into the fami.

bred cattle, horses. sheep or

OF the reality and the beneficence
