MARRIED TEACHER
 CAUSE OF STRIFE
East Haven School Board in
 Midst Of Hot Row

East Haven, April 5. The two town school boards wrangIed for sev- eral hours last night over the question of reappointment of a married teach CT in the town schools, Mrs. Harry Legge, and finally adjourned without reaching an agreement Jeremiah Quinlan. a member of the board charged that reappointment of Mrs. Legge would violate a rule of the board passed since Mrs. Legge's mar riase, that teachers marrying should be considered to have automatically resigned. He also charged certain members of the board with 'stultify- ing themselves" asserting that most of the members had been parties to . 'gentlemen's agreement" not to hire Mrs Legge for another year.
 John Driesbach. another board member in defending the reappoint- ment of Mrs. Legge, recommended by the board committee on teachers, said that in his opinion, married teachers had more common sense than girls just out of normal school" and that he had Known of cases where teach CTS stood before pupils powdering their noses and applying rouge" and that many of the younger unmarried teachers were "too much like the napper class we see on the street"
 Mir. Quinlan retorted by declaring that the board had 50 applications from unmarried teachers, some of whom were residents of the town and that he could not understand how a woman whose husband was able to support her should be so greedy as to attempt to keep some needy young woman out of job"
 Mrs Legge's husband. he declared, vas member of the American Le- gicn, but he must be lacking in red blood to permit his wife to carry on and try to drive a wedge between the members of this board"
 Secretary F. A. Cooper of the board, . teacher In New Haven, declared |

that he understood that the state su- perintendept Of schools took the posi- ton that if married women were do- ] ing satisfactory work in the schools that marriage was no bar to their employment.

 He ended by declaring that legal action would result if any attempt was made to override the rule of the. board by reappointment of Mrs. Legge.
 At the conclusion of the meeting it was stated that an attempt would probably be made to rescind the board rule against married teachers at the next meeting in order that Mrs. Legge might be reappointed. Forty residents of the Momauguin district of the town sent in petition for her
