The following from the weekly views of the news appeared in the
ndon Free Press earlier this year:
"The Watford Guide-Advocate points out teachers have come a
g way since they were forced to wore for 'practically nothing' a
If century ago, The paper cites .a teacher's contract of 1923:
"The following rules were included:
1. Not to keep company with men,
2. Not to get married. This contract becomes null and void if
cher marries,
3, To be at home between the hours of S p.m, and 6 a.m. unless
a school function,
4. Not to loiter downtown in ice cream parlors.
5, Not to leave town at any time without the permission of the
airman of the Board of Trustees.
6, Not to smoke cigarettes,
7, Not to drink beer, wine or whiskey. The contract becomes null
d void if caught smoking or drinking.
8. Not to ride in a carriage with any man except brothers or
her,
9. Not to wear bright colours or dye her hair.
10. To wear at least two petticoats.
11. Not to wear dresses more than two inches above the ankle,
12. To keep the school room clean; to scrub the classroom floor
ce a week with hot water and soap; to clean the blackboards at
t once daily,
"The tide has changed in every field of occupation now. Would
u like to turn the clock back? We doubt it."
Lucy feels that there must surely have been a woman-hater on the
and of Trustees at Watford to draw up such a contract limiting the
male teacher to school and home or boarding house in 1923. Or
uld it have been for one special person who was, perhaps, a bit of
flirt and rejected the attention of one member of the Board or his
ily? Lucy would like to know the rules for a male teacher in
atford in 1923. Did he have more liberty, she wonders? If not,
cy concludes that the teachers of Wa tford in 1923 were rather
ineless and did not inspire their pupils. Since the turn of the
ntury and, perhaps, never was such a contract executed as far as
yfield village school board was concerned, but, perhaps, country
hool contracts had not been brought up to date.
Lucy never saw her sister Jean's contract for teaching a country
hool somewhere near the Garefraxa Line. It was her first school
ter graduating from Stratford Normal School in 1925. There was a
lut-on-the-market" as far as primary teachers were concerned that
ear. There had been 65 applicants for this little country school.
min's application was selected but they wanted to see her before
gning a contract. So she journeyed to the area and stayed overnight
ith the Secretary's family. She signed on the dotted line and came
ome relieved that she had employment and very enthusiastic about
ie kindness of the Secretary's wife. She was so nice and had warned
er about this family and that family so that she wouldn't have any
'ouble.
Lucy listened and said, "Watch out for Mrs. Secretary!"
"Oh, no", said the ever-trusting Jean, "she was only trying to
alp me."
"Any woman who tells a perfect stranger such things is
angerous," Lucy remarked. And she proved to be right.
Mrs, Secretary had a spoiled son who was a bully. Jean boarded
ith another member of the Trustee Board close to the school and
ent to that place for dinner. While she was away, it was reported
a her return to school on several occasions that the boys had been
ghting. So Jean made the rule that it must stop. And she didn't
ire who started the fight, all involved would be strapped, guilty or
at.
One day after dinner she went back to find Mrs. Secretary's son, a
g fellow, and a smaller refined boy who never gave any trouble
.3aring the scars of a battle royal, She fulfilled her edict, although
to hated to touch the little fellow as he'd been so badly beaten up.
Of course, Mrs. Secretary was up in arms. Her son strapped!
On his last visit the school inspector told Jean that she had done
try well and he would recommend to the Board that she be engaged..
tr the ensuing year.
About three days before school closed, Jean said to host,
"shouldn't I be signing another contract?"
"Oh," said he, "haven't they told you?"
"Told me what?" she asked.
"That they don't want you another year."
Aghast, she asked the reason. "You wear your skirts too short,"
replied. Mrs. Secretary had won!
Jean was heart-broken. To lose her first echbol, and for such a
lly reason! She told a friend who was neither her father nor
bother, He said, "The teacher in the next section has resigned." So
drove her over to see that school board. They knew of her work
id she was given a contract without hesitation.
While in that school, she learned that her first school had been
osed several years before on account of the fighting to which she
id put a stop during her tenure of office. And a few years later it
as closed again when it was discovered that the same Secretary had
)en using the premises for his boot-legging operation at nights, It
kes all kinds of people to make a world.

Safety tips
Traffic signals can be much
more conaplicated than might
appear. For instance, the
Ontario Safety League quotes
this from a study of A
Technique For Control Of
Traffic At Critical Intersections:
"An algorithm is described for
control of queue lengths at
'oversaturated intersections
_oriented towards delaying
spillbeck across upstream
intersections as long as
pos si ble..,The mathematical
Model is linear -with the
exception of a 'saturation type
nonlinearity caused by the
phyeical requirement to split
limit. A describing function
analysis is need to demonstrate
loop stability in the presence of
the nonlinearity."
Bad weather may excuse
delay—but never an accident,
says the Ontatio Safety League.
