"If the public could know that we are helpless in the face of the State eachers' tenure law, which allows dismissal of a teacher for four or five reasons only and marriage is not one of them possibly so much bitterness might not be engendered. It would be the decent thing for many of these married teachers to step out, of course, but there is no way that we can compel them to do. so." LE GANT STEP-INS Widespread belief that the Los Angeles Board of Education can discharge married women from their positions as teachers In public schools, and also take the Job away from one if both husband and wife are employed, is bringing a daily flood of letters of protest, according to Supt.
