STILL BAR MARRIED WOMEN.
Superintendent Do Not Permit Them to Be-
come Teachers.

Although not satisfied Of the legal right, the
Board Of Superintendent OF the Department Of
Education has been refusing the applications Of
married women for reinstatement as teachers in the
schools, except in extreme cases. The Court Of
Appeals decided about year ago that no teacher
could be dismissed for marrying. Shortly after
the decision was handed down the Board Of Educa-
ton rescnded its bylaw requiring that charges
should be preferred against the teachers who COM
mitted matrimony. 1t retained among the Qualfca-
lions for new teachers that Of single blessedness.
I do not know that the would sustain
the board in requiring this qualification in the new
teachers il appoints said prominent official yes

board the right make SUCH bylaws are for the
best interests OF the schools We have had a
large number of applications for reinstatement from
women who have married. and have been re-
tuslng them except in cases where the women
have been deserted, divorced or their husbands are
