In th county many teachers will resign
to become brides. Prof. Gardner, In com
menting on the situation, said:
"It is singular and without a precedent
In Tork. With nine teachers resigning to
become brides, Tork Is likely to lead the
other towns In the state In a percentage of
marrying teachers.
"No, It cannot be attributed to tbe mea
ger compensation for teaching, for salaries
were Increased both In th city and county
last fall. It la a sign of the times. We are
in an era of prosperity, the young men are
making; money and feel able to take wives.
"So long a Cupid Is at large In th land,
and there la a chance for young men to
make enough money to support two, the
echoolma'ams will abandon the school
rooms to become wives. In dull times
school teachers are plentiful. In busy times
it Is tbe opposite.'
