naternalistic for any one to accept
There isn't another state IN the coun-

has debarred a teacher from motherhood.
The vote on Mrs. PeiXotto's case, p 70 .,
might be regarded as indicating over
whelning sentiment against continuing
mothers as teachers. but II is worthy oil
note that there were only three votes IN
excess of the majority required for dis
missal. which makes IL appear that the
board was not Influenced by argument
but was determined from the outset to
dismiss her.
Mr. Stern. in behalf of the Board Of
Education. said that nowhere except in
Illinois were teachers hired for life tenure
therefore the problem of maternity do
NOT obtain anywhere except in New York
and Illinois. The question is settled else
where by refusal to rehire the teachers
who become mothers.

women as teachers. We are not allowed
