"Shall the married woman teacher in tho public pub-lic schools give way to the unmarried woman?" The Court of Appeals has declared de-clared invalid the regulation In New York City forcing tho resignatlon of any wdman teacher who marries.

They follow out tho general proposition by arguing that tho woman who has children of her own Is better fitted to have charge of the children chil-dren of others. Tho American objection to married woman teachcrsand It obtains ob-tains In many school boards outside of Nov York seems to be based on tho economic argument that a woman who Is married' should bo supported by her husbaud.
