Married women are approved as
teachers in the public schools by the
vast majority of; the citizens of the
District of Columbia. 1t was indicated
by the returns on the referendum
which the Board of Education has
conducted since last Spring to ascer-
tain public opinion on the married
teacher subject. which were presented
at the meeting of the board in Frank

afternoon.

the board should decide whether or

In is QUESTIONABLE the board sought
also an expression OF opinion on the
admissibility of married girls as stu
dents of the normal schools, and In
every case, Mr.. Hine reported, the re-
spondees favored or opposed married
normal school students as they favor
ed or opposed married teachers. In
favoring married women as teachers
and students, the responding bodies
or individuals made no attempt to
answer nine points OF inquiry raised
bv DIR. Frank w Ballou, superintend'
emf. and included in the QUESTIONABLE
Those who opposed married women In
the schools as teachers or students,
however, sought to give their reasons.
Among the foremost reasons given
for opposition to married teachers
was the contention that married WON

ing upon the recommendation of the
superintendent of schools. Mr.. GILL;
gan told the members of the board
that he had gone over the charges
against Henderson with him and that
he was convinced that the overt
act charged in the indictment Is not
an overt act at ALL" He paid tribute
to the excellent reputation which he
said Henderson bore. and to the mans
record i'm the school system.
President Carusi declared that he.
too, had gone over Henderson's rec
ord and was convinced that he was
a man of excellent standing and that
il proven not guilty when he is tried
for what is alleged to be his part in
the operation of a school which the
district attorneys Office is convinced
is spurious, great hardship will
have been worked upon him by his
suspension. However, Mr.. Carusi
said he believed the question to be
one of major policy" He contended
he did not consider the Board Of Edu-
cation as a 'court" above the grand
jury. He said he felt it the duty Of
the board to suspend every person

Board Of Education voted to reinstate

lieved I'VE have made a mistake"
Considerable discussion on the
boards policy OF suspending employees
OF the school system who have been
indicted for a felony by the grand
jury pending their trial. was insti-
gated when Mr. Gilligan declared he
was convinced a mistake had been
made and suggested that il it were
possible under the law, he would ask
not only that Henderson be rein
stated in his Office at once. but that
his reinstatement be made las of the
date the suspension became effective"
Thus the indicted school man would
not be obliged to lose his pay for the
period of his suspension, which the
board unanimously approved at its
last meeting. After the discussion,
in which Charles F. Carusi president
OF the board. contended that as
matter of policy he believed the sus-
pension should be allowed to stand
until Henderson was either convicted
or acquitted in court. the hoard. in a
polled vote, decided, five TO two. In
favor of immediate reinstatement.
In presenting the married teacher
referendum responses to the board,
Mr.. Hine included an analysis of the
various opinions. In the analysis it
was shown that the responses were
made as follows: Thirty-nine parent
teacher and home-and-school associ.
atoms; 90 citizen associations; 3 civic
clubs; 3 individuals, and organi3a-
tons not included in any OF the previ-
ously mentioned groups.
Mr.. Hine summarized the reasons
for the respective conclusions in gen.
eral classifications. Twenty-three re.
spondees held that the efficiency or
merit and not the marital status of
a teacher should he the chief guide
in her appointment. Twelve declared
themselves thoroughly satisfied with
existing regulations governing teacher
appointments, while seven favored
equal rights for candidates for
teaching positions without sex dis
elimination or blanket hans" Two
replies advocating the employment of
married women suggested that the
preference of appointment be given
single candidates.
OF the seven opponents of married
teachers, four gave their reasons
while the remaining three offered no
explanation of their action: Studying

the letter cites the actions of the two
teachers as follows:

Miss Sheads was commended also
