Old School
Linda Reilly reports that an Upper Darby school prinicpal found a 1915 copy of "Rules of Teachers" in an old safe.
The “rules” prohibited teachers from marrying during the term of their contract or from riding in a carriage or automobile with any man unless he was their father or brother.Kinda of makes you feel bad for all those in the transgender community of the time, don't it?
“You are not to keep company with men,” the list specifies along with a directive to “be home between the hours 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.”
Teachers may not loiter downtown in ice cream stores, smoke cigarettes, dress in bright colors or dye their hair.
Dresses must not be any shorter than 2 inches above the ankle.
