LOVE AND SCHOOL RULES.
A test action in the Chancery Division ended in a. victory for love oyer an unsympathetic school authority, says a recent London paper. Miss Helen Martin, a young assistant mistress at an Eoclcs non-provided school received a telegram from her soldier fiancee, stating that he had been suddenly ordered to France and asking her to meet him in Manchester. She obtained leave of absence from the headmaster. But the Eccles Corporation (tho local education authority) had made a regulation that except in the case of personal illness no teacher was to Bo absent without the permission of the Education Committee or its secretary, and gave her a month’s notice. Miss Martin now asked the court to say that tho notice was inoperative. Mr. Justice Younger declared the notice to be invalid and inoperative, and ordered the corporation to pay the costs.
