Rules For Female Teachers Anno 1915
A friend in the LA School Distric has forwarded me this set of rules of conduct for female teachers in 1915 (school district unknown). My how times have changed.
- You will not marry during the term of your contract.
- You are not to keep company with men.
- You must be home between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. unless attending a school function.
- You may not loiter downtown in ice cream stores.
- You may not travel beyond the city limits unless you have the permission of the chairman of the board.
