Keeping in 3'dnd the purps for which the statute tvas enacted, the board cannot do in J;reu:" that which it is pruhibiud Trom doii.g directly. Deeper Inquiry Blade. "The views herein expressed might t suffc !' i:t to dispose of the instant rase, but w e. prefer to proceed with in :uiry and determine whether the t-lngle ?-!-t of niarricye can in advatc- and ilone tie said to be a reasonable cause for dismissal, keeplntr !n mind all the while that the purpose of chapter 37 is to provide permanent tenures for teachers. Efficiency and i omr- enc v sf teachers and th- welfare of the ichools are of course consumtnatior.H levoutly to bt wished. If a teacher iecomes inefficient or fails to perform I duty or does some act which, of itself mpair.s usefulness then a goc,i or rea. tonable cause for dismissal would UEist. "The act of marriage, however, does lot of itself furnish a reasonable jause. That the marriage status does ot necessarily impair the competency ff women teachers is conceded by the Ktiiool authorities when they employ carried women, as they are even now doing, to tench in the schools of this district. Sometime! Become Better, "The clerk of the board admitted that in some instances h woniaVi be comes a better teacher afttr marriage than she was before. "The reason advanced for th? rule adopted by the board is that after marriage a woman may devote her time and attention to her home rather than to her school work. It would be Just as reasonable to adopt a rule that if a woman teacher Joined a church it v. ould work an automatic dismissal from the schools on an Imagined as sumption that th? church miiiht en gross her time, through inattention to the detriment of the s hools, but s.ch a regulation as the one supposed would not even have the semblance of reason. "It must tie conceded that quite a different case would b presented where the a t ruled against is inher ently wron. The a t to whi' h the instant rule relates does not involve a single element of wrong, but on the contrary marriage is not only pro tected by lioth the written and un written law but is also fostered by a sound public policy. "It is impossible to know in advance whether the efficiency of any person will become impaired because of mar riage ar.d a rule winch assumes that all persons do become less competent because of marriage is unreasonable became such a regulation is purely arbitrary."
