The request was made by Alfrgd J. Talley, an attorney appearing for one of six teachers who appealed from rul- ings of the New York City Board of Education suspending or dismissing teachers who had become mothers while in the employment of the board. He contended that the real question at issue—whether mothers should be employed as teachers—had not been answered and that the public demand- ed a determination. He declared that the women affect- ed had been dismissed solely because they had given birth to children. It was the contention of Charles Mc- Intyre, an assistant corporation coun- sel appearing for the board, that the teachers had neglected their duty in that they had failed to obtain leaves of abgence. In addition, he agfled that the determination of the standing of teacher-mothers was a matter of ad- ministrative diecretion on the part of the hoard. The appeals were heard py Dr. Thomas E. Finegan, a deputy com- missioner of education and Frank B. Gilhert, chief of the law deaprtment. They did not indicate when a decision would be reached. DR. C.
