New York Woman Teacher, About to
Become a Mother, Asserts Rights
Board of Education Wants to Discharge Her From Schools,
But She is Determined to Fight-- Privilege of Motherhood
Barred From Teachers in New York Schools.
New York. F>r the first time In the
mother-tear her controversy a woman Ig
nored the Ho.iViJ of Superintendent* and
took her r*h«< e In a school room .venter
day despite the fact that *he was for
mally flismissfO and had charge* of
"negleef of duty" preferred against her
by that body.
This woman reluclaritly gave her
name to u representative of the New
York American last night arid told the
stor.i of her defiance of the by-laws of
the Hoard of Kducatlon.
She is Mrs Lora M. Wagner, wife of
Charles H. Wagner, a chemist who Is
private secretary to the vice-president,
of the Koessler & lla«slacher Chemical
t’ompuny of |*rt*thnt boy. Mrs. Wagner
Is the teacher of German In the Annex
at Tottenvllle of the Curtis High school
of Ht, George, Staten Island.
Mrs Wagner is a very slight woman
a little under five feet hlx inches In
height, with a cheeriness of manner and
a charm that perhaps give her unusual
fl us lift nations as a teacher. She has
deep blue »• es and brown hah* and a
small, ncntltive mouth and nose.
Will Keep Up Fight.
“This stand I am taking I regret very
much person-illy," said the little woman
after she had returned from her school
and wiit on the big veranda of her Tot
tonvlUe bungalow. “Hut I feel that the
time has come when a definite stand
must !>« taken by some woman teacher,
and It must be main t.dried until the
privilege of motherhood is not baYred to
the woman teaeln* In our public schools.
If the Hoard of Kducntlon thinks I will
back down in my fight It Is very much
mistaken. 1 will work until the mother
erbood 1s not barred to the woman
teacher In our public school*. If th»-
Hoard of /education thinks I will back
down In my fight It Is very much mis
taken. I will work until the mother
teacher leave of absence Is granted, and
I will not stop until It I*.
“I do not have to earn my own living.
My husband 1* capable of supporting
me, but why should I be dismissed
from a profession In which I have spent
tweve years of my life and many yeav*
in preparation*-- to which I have given
my best thought and endeavor Just be
cause I ask also lo have t ne for moth

“It Is a great Injustice I ask why
Mhould I as much of a soldier in nty
I wav ns a man Is be given a dishonor-
I able discharge after years of con»eien
i tlous work years In which ntv ability
lihh never been questioned? Is It fai% ?
I answer ‘no’ And I shall fight until I

“As 1 am unwilling to have my pro

Times Right Now That
We Never Saw Before
May We Never See
Them Again.
This is the sentiment of perhaps every
person in this United States today. Con
ditions today are even worse in some re
spects than a month ago—worse for one
reason at least, and that is that we know
that WAR IS GOING TO LAST. The liv
ing question, the question of Clothing the
family—all have to be faced as the cold
weather approaches and at a time when
money is not so plentiful as in times past.
Money should not be spent simply to buy
things as in the past—Every person should
take time to consider in making purchases
these days and buy where the dollar
spent will buy the most—WE DON’T
MEAN CHEAP MERCHANDISE—NO!
NO! You’re wasting good money to buy
cheap goods, but when you can come to a
store like this and buy the very highest
grade of merchandise at the prices we are
selling it at—THEN YOU SHOULD AT
LEAST INVESTIGATE.
