WASHINGTON. March l3.--Suspen-
sion If laws or ordinances prohib.rin;:
married. women from teaching school
is advocated by Federal Commissioned
of Education CLAYTON to-day as the
best niears of replacing the largo num-
Der OF teachers who have quit to enter
VAR work.
In 4 letter TO city. county and state
school authorities, Commissioners ClaX-
ton points out that many sections arc
facing y shortage of teachers because
higher wages paid in commercial and
industrial occupations are attracting
many young women from the schools.
Unless something can be done to
relieve the situation" says pr. Clax-
ton the places Of many trained and
experienced teachers will he taken by
young teachers without experience or
professional preparation. There are.
however. in the country scores of thou
ands OF persons. mostly women, of
good scholarship and professional
training, who havo had successful OK
pcrcncc as teachers. but who have re-
tired from active service. Many OF
these might render valuable service
again in the school. AS means Of re-
lief in the present crisis. I recommend
thai they be called again into active
service, and that wc, ordinances and
regulations Of school boards prohibits
ing married women from teaching in
the public schools be suspended or re-
pealed"
