Rules for female Teachers-1900
My husband is reading A People's History of the United States and just showed me this part -- teachers and all women -- you should find it funny.
These were rules for female teachers from a school board in Massachusets from around 1900.
1. Do not get married.
2. Do not leave town at any time without permission of the school board.
3. Do not keep company with men.
4. Be home between the hours of 8PM and 6AM.
5. Do not loiter downtown in ice cream stores.
6. Do not smoke.
7. Do not get into a carriage with any man except your father or brother.
8. Do not dress in bright colors (as I'm typing this I'm wearing a crazy tye-dyed t-shirt)
9. Do not dye your hair.
10. Do not wear any dress more then 2" above the ankle.

3. Do not keep company with men.
Number 1 would never happen because of Number 3!!!

Hey it doesn't say anything about not drinking so at least you can be a boozehound
Hey if I couldn't keep company with men might as well drink
