Married Teachers
Pose as Single to
Retain Positions

New York. March 1e.-
"Scores-yes, hundred of wom-
en- teachers in the New York
schools are married, yet sup
posed to be SINGLE" declared
Miss Henrietta Redman a
teacher OF the Wadleigh high
school here who really is Mrs.
Herman De Fremery. but who
had concealed the fact until
yesterday.
! Mrs. De Fremery was follow
ing advices which she had
publicly given to school teach
ers in proposing a silence
strike" on the marriage ques-
tion because the board of edu-
cation is declared to discrimin-
ate against married teachers in
the schools.
Lots Of married teachers are
keeping their secrets better
than l have kept mine," she
said, "but 1t ought not to be
necessary. We are going to
collect data that will show that
wives and mothers make just as
good teachers as the girls who
don't we'd. This penalizing
of marriage for women wage
earners is uncivilized, out OF
date and opposed to public
policy" .

PRECINCTSSTAND
FOR z YEARS MORE
Woman Suffrage Cannot Bring
About Redistricting Be-
fore 1915.

No Encouragement of Moline's cleo
ton precincts is likely for two years,
whatever increase in the number of
voters may result from the participa-
ton of women in the ballot privilege.
The law specifies that no precinct can
contain more than $50 voters, but this
figure must be shown at a general No
vember election before any change can
be made. as there is no general fall
election till 1914 the board of super
visors can take no action till the meet
ing in June of 1915 the June session
being specified as the one at which
this matter shall receive attention.
Moline has II precincts, none OF
which at the election last fall showed
more than 400 voters. 1t is believed
however, that voting by women will
bring the number up in several cases
to web above the maximum prescribed
by law.
