So the teaching contracts were intended that School Marms would remein School Marms? Yes, I agree that losing a teaching job to get married was a huge loss of education resources. I am glad their teaching contracts moved into the 20th century. donkelly ----- Original Message ----- From: Linda Ziemann <lin.ziemann@verizon.net> To: Scottsfamilytree@aol.com, IOWA@rootsweb.com Sent: Fri, 6 Mar 2009 19:01:53 +0000 (UTC) Subject: Re: [IOWA] School teachers can not marry each other. Great conversations we have going on the IOWA list.... I was told that early teachers could NOT marry anyone and keep their teaching job in IA. This policy did change sometime after 1930, thankfully. Many folks I know had mothers who taught....and once these ladies married they had to quit teaching. What a waste for that time, right? I have actually seen early contracts that were worded that the "contract would terminate" if the teacher married. My best to you all........
