AlbarN, N. 1., Jan. 12.-A teacher l may not be dismissed because she
 absents herself from the public
 schools to bear a child, Commissioner
 John r. Finley of the state depart 1 ment O.. education decided yesterday l The decision definitely determines the 1 status of mother-teachers in the
 state, as under existing laws there is
 no appeal
 l Mrs. PciNoto Reinstated. l By the decision yesterday Mrs 1 Bridget PeiXotto, teacher of the | Bronx, who became a mother while ! absent without leave and who was dis
 missed by the New York city board of education for neglect of duty, was ordered reinstated. Decisions in five other mother teacher appeals are ex- pected soon.
 Mrs. Peixotto was dismissed in April, 1913. She carried her case to the courts and the court of appeals decided the determination of the moth erteacher question rested with the commissioner of the education departr ent.
 MT. Ftnley's decision declared that Mrs. Pe:xotto's dismissal made it ap- parent that the purpose of the board of education and it's officers was ito adopt tte policy, of dismissing from the service all women teachers who absent themselves from their posi- tions because of child birth and to classify such absences as ineXcusa- tle'
 Declared Unconstitutional.
 He then pointed out that a law providing that a woman teachers po- sition became automatically vacant when she married, had been declared unconstitutional His conclusion was
 ''That the board should have ac- cepted the natural corrollary of it's policy, voluntary or enforced, of em- ploying Or retaining married women teachers. and should have given at least as favorable consideration to an absence for childbirth as is nor mally given to absence asked for req sons of personal convenience or min or of grave illness, or for purposes of study and travel or of improving the health"
 Unable to Perform Duties
 Dismissal for general inefficiency, MT. Finley held would be warranted if, upon return, a teacher was found to be unable, after trial, to perform school Guties
 But it Is difficult to conceive" the decision read, "how a reasonable, un- wilful absence, due to natural un- avoilable cause. could be construed as neglect of duty; and it is difficult to understand why an absence for the most creditable social reason should be so treated.
 Not Reproach.
 AS commissioner I would give every possible aid in my power to promote devotion to duty, jealous service and efficiency on the part of the teacE CTS of the state, to prevent neglect of duty and inefficiency and to eliminate incompetence, and l at 1 tribute only such high purposes to 1 he board of education in it's action in 1 his case. But I am of the clear 1 opinion, which I am obliged to fol- l low, that these ends and purposes l will not be served by selecting or i seeming to select for stigma or re- oroach such a reason for temporary 1 absence from school duty as is of i tered in this case, or inferring or 1 seeming, to infer inefficiency from the l mere fact of motherhood.

Just half a century ago.
A couple young and gay.
In the little town of Western,
Joined their lives-glad day.
In years that swiftly followed,
Some in sunshine, some in showers,
Eight children came to bless them,
And brighten life's long hours.
Now all have left the home nest,
Some felt the chas. .ening rod.
4 One closed her eyes in peaceful
sleep
To ever be with God.
Thus fifty years have swiftly gone,
And their children bright and cay,
Are here to wish them all THAT'S

On their Golden Wedding day.
May coming days bring happdness,
And Joy, and peace, and rest.
And may their added score of years
