SA1-KM, Or., Dee. 121. Maniage
iilonn is not a sut'fieient cause to
warrant the dismissal of a school
timelier, niieotdinit to n decision ten-
deied today by the Oicgnn supieinc
court. The decision iiffiimed the ac
tion of tlio circuit court of Multno
mah county in issuing a writ of man
damus uoiiimaudinir the Poillatul
school board to reinstate Mrs. Maud
L. Iticlianls, whom it bad dismissed
ns n teacher bcciiuxc she imirried.
"It is iniHissiblo to know in ad
vance." the supiemo court held,
"whether Iho efficiency of any mi
son will become impaired because of
marriage and a rule vihicb assumes
that nil persons do beeomo less com
petent becnuse of mnrringe is unren
sounhle beenuso such n regulation is
purely nrbitrnrv. If n teacher is just
as competent und efficient after mar
riage, n dismissal because of marri
age would be capricious,
"If a teacher becomes Inefficient
or fails to perform n duty or does
some act which of itself impairs use
fulness, then a good or reasonable
cause for dismissal would exist. The
net of marriage, however, does not of
itself furnish it reasonable cause."
Construing the teacher's permanent
tenure law the court held that the
board's notion in dismissitfg Mrs.
Itichnrds was not only illegal because
mnrringe docs not constitute u rea
sonable cause, but becnuse a written
complaint meeting- tho legnl require
ments was not filed against her.
