Neil, your identification of the contractual and taboo aspects of pregnant  
teachers is right on target with what I came to understand from talking with my 
 mother, who was a teacher (before she got married and left teaching).  My  
own W.Va. elementary teachers in the 1950's were all married, the best I  
remember, but none of them were young enough to be having children.
 
Another aspect, of course, was that it was an era in which women were  
expected to be full-time moms rather than employed elsewhere.
