Married Woman May Be Teacher in Schools Here
From The Indianapolis Star, Wednesday, July 9, 1924: Last night after lengthy discussion, the Indianapolis board of school commissioners, with the approval of schools superintendent Ellis Graff, by a vote of 3 to 2, rescinded a rule preventing the employment of women teachers with young children and adopted a substitute rule providing married teachers must apply for a leave of absence four months before the birth of a child and remain off duty until the child is one year old. Commissioner Dr. Marie Haslep asserted a better rule would be that no married woman should teach, and Commissioner Adolph Emhardt contended that “ninety-nine out of a hundred married women are teaching simply because they don’t like housework.” The marriage rule that has been in effect for a year was responsible for about twenty-five teachers failing to receive contracts this spring.
