The fight against married women acting a a school teachers in the public schools of England, which has been going on for sorno time, reached a climax recently, when sixty-four married women teachers were discharged from their duties in one of the London suburbs. During tbe war married women were practically the only persons available for teaching, and 6ince then they have kept their jobs, despite tbe efforts of many veterans’ associations to have them expelled in order to allow ex-sorviee men and nurses to resume their positions. An attempt was made recently to exclude married women from teaching in the schools of Aliddleeox County, but they were able to take the ease to the Chancery Court, asking for an injunction against the school authorities. The case is still pending. Efforts to have married women excluded from the schools under the jurisdiction of the London County Council. however, have failed, and the council has refused to pass a motion.
