II they want old maid school teach

teacher to group of her fellow teach

This was all because the school
board has applied the curfew Jaw to
school teachers of Muskogee. From
Tulsa and McAlester comes informa.
ton that the school board at each
place has made similar order.
The boards OF education in these
towns have decided that the teachers
in the public schools must cut society
five nights out of the week at least.
The boards have given It out that they
do not expect to see the teachers out
after nine O'Clock at night through the
school week, and they do not add that
the teachers are at liberty the other
nights.
This order has created a storm in
the towns mentioned. Some of the
teachers are in open rebellion, and
say they will go where they please
and when, and some of them have
done so, but 1t is noticed they are
waiting with some apprehension for
the next meeting. of the board.
