The Court of Ap- peals has just handed down a de-| cision in the case of Kate M. Murphy | against Superintendent William — #I Maxwell declaring that under the city charter no teacher can be removed ex- cept after a trial on charges. As the rter dues not make marriage a} cause for removal, the effect of the decision in to nullify the Board of Education's rule that no teacher cun remain a teacher after her marriage, Mrs. Murphy was one of several teachers dismissed in 1% because they married. Mrs. Murphy made up her mind to obtain reinstatement. Former Borough President Swanstrom was retained and he took the matter through court after court, holding that the rule of the Board of Education was unconstitutional and that the board had no right to enforce it ‘The Su- preme Court and the Alppellate Division of the Supreme Court held that the rule of the Board of Education was a rea- sonable one and that teachers should be compelled to leave school after they were married. The Court of Appeals does not pass} upon the question as to whether the rule of the Board of Education is rea- sonable, but ply goes into the law of the matter.
