MARRIED TEACHERS
APPOINTMENT OF WOMEN | INSTITUTE’S DISCUSSION Press Association WELLINGTON, Today. A suggestion that married teachers should not be given appointments so as to relieve the unemployed problem in the teaching profession received no support from the annual conference of the New Zealand Educational Institute. Miss Finlayson (North Canterbury) declared that if married women were only going to hold positions when they were necessitous they would be reducing themselves to a state of. accepting charity. Miss K!. B. Turner (North Canterbury) supported her colleague and claimed that if married teachers were to be barred in order to relieve the unemployment problem because their husbands were earning and should be able to keep them they might as well carry out the argument to its logical conclusion. Then they should do away with the services of ail men teachers who had private incomes or who had wives with private means. A remit that in the appointment of women teachers married or single the institute stood for principle of efficiency as shown by the grading list was carried.
