Married Women
Better Teachers
Than Single
NEW YORK, March 20— Married women are superior to single ones as teachers, the Teachers' college of Columbia university has concluded.
The experience of marriage and motherhood is of paramount value for a teacher with children in her circle, investigators working under Dr. Thomas Alexander, director of the experimental unit of the college, asserted.
They believe it is a mistake that a young woman should be made to feel she must choose between marriage and teaching.
"There is every reason to believe," the report says, "that when such problems as the balance between home and school responsibilities and the amount of actual work in the home that should be undertaken by a teacher have been satisfactorily considered, the status of married women in the profession will not be questioned."
