Wives Win 'Approval in School Jobs Virginia Court Agrees Marriage Should Not Cost Position. BY HELEN WELBHIMER NEA Arrt* Staff Writer “The school system Is not an employment agency. The schools exist for the benefit of the children and of future generations.” Every American father and mother, school teacher and school child, should stand up and cheer this statement made recently by

Mrs. Geline Mac Donald Bowman, president of the National Federation of Women’s Clubs. Mts. Bowman made her classic assertion in the Circuit Court of Virginia, where she defended the right of two Southern women to continue as teachers. The two women had been

dismissed by the county school board because they had husbands. The husbands had no incomes. Just the same, a married woman is a married woman, the school board argued, and it wasn't right for her to have a husband and a check, also. The board did not owe these women positions because of their financial needs, she replied, but it did have a moral obligation to them as capable, successful teachers. And the court agreed. Children are entitled to the instruction and guidance from the finest men and women In the teaching field. Schools exist for boys and girls, not for school boards and teachers and contractors and architects. If marriage so interferes with a woman's interest in the schoolroom that she becomes inefficient, that Is another matter. Incompetence and marriage are not necessarily related. Certainly if any vocation calls for a background based on richness of experience, depth of bnman understanding, long suffering, tolerance, patience and broad - mindedness, that profession is teaching. There is none so foolish as to argue that the average unmarried woman has attained the same maturity of development as the average married woman. Gives Broader Viewpoint There are women, unwed, who instinctively are born to be better teachers than some women with 12 children could ever be. But the average woman becomes a better teacher when she has entered into full understanding of a husband, a home and familv problems. Women with children of their own look at the problems of other women’s children with eyes that are more comprehending, sympathy that is quickened, patience that is tempered with understanding. Time after time school superintendents have been heard to say that if they, instead of the school boards, controlled the hiring of teachers, only married women would be on their payrolls. The pedagogues aren't making an idle assertion. They have watched their teachers, married and unmarried, and seen their influence on children's lives. Most married women don't want to teach! Many of the single women who earn a living must choose the schoolroom, you are saying.

Joan Bennett Wears Smart Evening Ensembles

Contrasting the crinolines worn in the picture “Mississippi” now at the Circle, Joan Bennett models two smart evening ensembles. At the left is a crinkly crepe dinner gown whose princess line skirt sweeps into a slight train. The hip length, belted jacket has long bell sleeves with

Certainly! And It is right and wise. But granting that married’ women teach well, when they are able to do so—especially when they need to do so—it is unfair to take them from the schoolroom. We might go a little more deeply Into the discussion by saying that no woman who uses teaching as a stepping stone to marriage or any other profession should instruct anybody's children. She may marry, of course. It is to be hoped she will. She may go into another profession. But to go into teaching, thinking that it. will suffice through the lean years until life offers her tt more pleasant surprise, stamps her at once as unworthy. There are plenty of women who love boys and girls and ter.ching, plenty of women who are eager to keep their profession as a vital part of their lives. Out of justice, school children should have teachers who are in the class-oom because they enjoy being there. If the teachers don’t like the environment there isn’t a chance that even the most precocious child will feel like singing hymns of morning praise when the school bell rings. (Copyright, 1935.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Would yon like to unload your problems on an interested outsider? Put them in a letter to Jane Jordan today! Dear Jane Jordan—Several weeks ago I ended an affair with a boy for whom I didn't care. I can't say I disliked him, because I cared enough to go with him several months. He

became more or less of a habit and I quit because he began to get serious and I couldn’t feel that way about him. Since then I have changed and think of him continuously. I don't think I love him, but I want to go with him again. We never meet since he lives on

the opposite side of town and never goes places where I do. I doubt if he ever comes back although he cared for me once, I believe. I don't know how he feels now. How can I get another chance? What should I do? CHANGED. Answer—Perhaps you are piqued because he took his dismissal too easily. You thought you had made more inroads upon his emotion and your pride is hurt. You would like to call him back and try again even though you admit you still are not in love. I don't know what you can do other than write him a note and tell him you miss him more than you expected. If he doesn’t respond, give up gracefully. m * Dear Jane Jordan—My girl friend and I had a little argument which may seem silly to you. We w’ere discussing six women—Jean Harlow’, Ethel Barrymore, Alice Longw’orth, Frances Perkins, Helen Wills and Amelia Earhart. We wanted to know’ which of the six had the most interesting career. I said Frances Ferkins. My friend says Amelia Earhart. Which of the six do you think has the most interesting

career and why you think so. JUST TWO SILLY GIRLS. Answer—l choose Frances Perkins because I am personally more interested in the economic problems of the day than in the pursuits of the other women. Your girl friend’s choice of Amelia Earhart is equally valid. It only means that she is more interested in flying than economics. tt n n Dear Jane Jordan:—My husband is 22. lam 20. He has been sick for six weeks and I have taken good care of him and we have gotten along very nicely. Now my husband is improving and is out of his bed part of the time. Don’t you think the babying stage should be over? My husband has a very nasty disposition just now, which is rather unusual. lam unhappy. What can I do to alter this situation? F. H. S. Answer—Give him time. When little boys are very, very sick they are very, very good but when they start to get well they are horrid. Take his irascibility as a sign of returning health and treat it with humorous unconcern. u a u Dear Jane Jordan—l am a girl of 18 just out of high school. I have gone with lots of boys, but didn’t meet any that I cared anything about until I joined a traveling crew. On this crew was a boy of 21 who said I understood him better than any girl he ever knew. Os course I confessed the same to him. The very next day he acted as though I irritated him. I asked him about it and he turned it off that he didn’t feel well. I got the impression that he wasn’t speaking the whole truth. I couldn’t stand his treating me that way and I left the crew three weeks ago. Today I sent him a letter of good cheer wishing him success in his work and asked him to write me. Should I have written him or should I try to forget him? RAMONIS. Answer—l don’t know. Wait and

see if he answers your letter and what he says. When a man has a bad reaction after making love to a girl, she is wise not to take it to heart and let him alone until he gets over it, if ever. Lots of men could bite their tongues off after making love to a girl who takes it more seriously than it was intended. Others really mean*’ what they said and are scared to death afterward. In either case the smart girl s. mply says nothing ar.d appears not to notice the change of attitude. EMORY HAMMER WEDS IN TEXAS Dr. and Mrs. M. C. Hammer, 2449 N.
