Notes
Individual instances are too numerous to document here. A study of theAmerican Teacher (beginning with 1912) and local union publications is useful and informative.
Almost all teachers will recognize those preachy, moralistic rules—published today as curiosities, but which were rigidly adhered to as conditions for hiring and firing—such as requiring teachers to live in the community and attend church and forbidding them to drink, smoke, or have dates.
American Teacher, November 1913, p. 130; April 1914, p. 58.
