ELIMINATE MARRIED TEACHERS

The marriage of Miss Martha Nc
Way, who is now Mrs. Mckee, has
caused her elimination as teacher
of the Fairfield High school. At least
the board of education has apparently
decided that married teachers are
not suited for the work and Mrs
Mckee has not been nominated for
the oncoming season. 1t was stated
Wednesday that Mrs. Mckee failed
of nomination because OF her mar
rage which was not generally
known, and the board thought it best
not to encourage marriages by teach
ers in the schools. Although Mrs.
Mckee in her application pointed
out that several teachers are now
employed. many of them with almost
grown children, her argument mas
so far failed to convince the board of
education. 1t was stated yesterday
that Mrs Mckee may be nominated
later on, but that the board hereafter
will not employ any teachers that
are married On the other hand the
board may agree to set the precedent
AZ this time barring married teachers
from work in Fairfield in the future
