Two Wilkes County Teachers Dismissed for Smoking Cigarettes, Feb. 23, 1926

Two Teachers Dismissed for Smoking Cigarettes

Two lady teachers in Wilkes County were discharged last week for smoking cigarettes. At the February meeting of the County Board of Education, a resolution was passed forbidding cigarette smoking by school teachers in the count, and if same was persisted in, they would be asked to resign. We are reliably informed that neither of the teachers were residents of Wilkes.
