Director Firoved Intercepted
the committee as to hiring married
women. He wished to go on record
against hiring married women, I'M
less widows or wives of men at war,
for the reason that it would keep
some single woman from an oppor-
tunity to support herself. He did
not favor married women teaching
when they had husbands to support
them and also believed that the
proper place for a married woman
was in her home.
It was explained that good teach
ers are difficult to get and that any
married teacher employed, who has
a husband able to support her, con-
fers a favor on the school rather
than on herself and husband.
