From the Paper:

"The field of teaching has changed significantly over the course of just the last two generations. In 1923, a standard elementary teacher's contract included items such as remaining unmarried, not associating with men, being at home between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., and not leaving town without permission. These were in addition to not smoking, drinking, or even riding in a carriage or automobile with any man except her father or brother."
