SCHOOLS AND MARRIED TEACHERS.

DR. p p. CLAYTON, United States Commissioner Of
~ Education is pronouncedly Of the opinion that
wherever a rule exists barring married women from
taohing. such rule should be repealed. It is pleasing
TO know that his accommodation does not affect VIII
mngton because no such rule exists here. There may
be other places in Delaware which It exists however,
and in which Claxtons statement may be of interest
1t is follows
"Reports from some cities indicate that a few school
boards have not yet taken action to abolish the rule
barring married women teaching. This rule
did have much 10 recommend It, and the has made
1t impossible Of enforcement. Every woman who is a
good teacher is needed and marriage is no bar"
One teacher writes to the Bureau Of Education: "I
wish to call your attention to situation which prevails
throughout the Middle West and urge your influence TO
remedy this injustice As you know. most Of the largo
cities will not employ married teachers in
the high schools AS you also know the War Depart
ment has placed in Glass all men whose wives are
educated TO earn a living. Many of these
teachers in the larger high schools These positions
now closed to and must teach in a small town

at a small wage-an because have husbands who
are giving themselves In to their countrys call
Is this exactly fairP Kansas City, Mo- Kansas City,
Ksp.l Topeka Kan, and many other cities have courte
ously returned all applications saying they employ no
married women"
For the information OF school boards tina. may not
have seen Commissioners Caxtons statement of March
i9is appealing TO married teachers to return to schools
the bureau is asking that the following paragraph be
reprinted:
There are in the country scores thousands OF per-
sons. mostly women. Of good scholarship and profess
siona training who have had successful experience
Teachers but who have retired from active service Many
Of these might valuable service again in the
schools AS a means of relief in the present crisis
recommend that they be called again into active service
and that laws ordinances and regulations Of school
boards prohibiting married from teaching in the
public schools be suspended repealed"
The above official utterances are so unequvocal and
emphatic that intelligent school official fail to
understand them.

To the Farmers of

SHEEP,


In the name of our Government
l want to appeal to the farmers
of Rockcastle county to keep all
their ewes and eve lambs. We
haven't but a very few sheep in
Rockcastle county, and I want to
ask for the sake of the county and
good of the people that we keep
what We have until we get a bet
ter start in sheep. A few sheep
will give the farmer a larger In.
come than N any other investment
that he makes. Let US make the
slogan of our county "a Few
Sheep For Every Farmer. Any
farmer that wishes to purchase a
pure bred Shropshire buck, 1 will
be glad to locate such a sheep.
We should be able to put on the
market something ike 10000
sheep annually. Sheep growing
is the biggest industry Rock
castle county can engage in, there
fore let me appeal to every indi-
vidual farmer to buy few sheep.
Sow sweet clover and begin to
stock the county with sheep, and
bees will naturally follow sweet
clover. Bees are now starving
to death in this county.
