THE EQUAL PAY QUESTION

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: In all the discussion about the case
of Mrs. Edgell the teacher who is APP
plying for a leave Of absence for year
in order to become a mother, one aspect
of this case has been forgotten. She is
the wife Of another teacher, and the State
OF New York by the teachers equal pay
law has forbidden men teachers from
earning more than women teachers In
corresponding places. AS the law forbids
a man teacher supporting his wife i'm the
station i'm life In which single women
teachers possessing the same qualinca-
tons are entitled to move, the least that
the state. through the Board OF Educa-
ton. can do is to allow women who have
married men teachers 10 support them
selves. FAIR PLAY.
