Married Teachers
Urged To Fight
For Their Rights
By RUTH MILLE1'T

When a married woman worker
stands up for her rights it is usu-
ally because her husband puts her
up to it. Abo so it is in the case
of Mrs. Jones, teacher. Her hus-
band is talking to her like this
these days:
"Your school board is winking
at its ruling against married teach
ers to let you and number OF
other women hold youl jobs--be-
cause the school board is despe-
rate for qualified teachers. You've
even been given some decent
raises in the last couple of years.
"But you've been lulled to sleep
YOU and the other teachers. Be-
cause you are being treated SO
well right now, you have forgot
ten that there is still ruling
against married women teaching
(but not against married men
teachers, of course) and you've
forgotten that when the last de-
preston hit, school teachers were
the first city employees to take
salary cuts.
And though things are pretty
much okay for you today-even
though you don't earn anything
like the money you could get in a
war plant-you aren't doing any
thing to look out for tomorrow.
Don't you know that the min
ute teachers become easy to Jet
your school board will crack
down and start enforcing that no
married women rule, and you'll
be out of a job? You Will suffer
even though you stuck by the
teaching profession when other
teachers were deserving it by the
thousands.
If hard times come, you'll
probably again be the first city
employees to take pay cuts.
And all the old taboos will be
enforced again. You'll get ito
trouble once more for such purely
personal things as smoking in
public
of course. the future needn't
be like that. You women teach
ers could stand together now and
see that those old injustices are
str cken off the books. Ana if
you don't-you deserve whatever
treatment you get in the future
It would be well for Mrs. jones
and the teachers who hope to
have a Mrs. before their Games
someday to listen to that advice
even if it does come from a IMAM.
