TO BAR MARRIED TEACHERS.

Iowa Falls, April 2o-"No married

tendency on the part of other boards
in the past to bar matrons and give
the preference to the maids, it is evil
dent that the new board believes in
giving the young school ma'ams a
chance. This view taken of the mooted
question of married school teachers
has Just been brought to public atten-
ton by recent action of the board in
