Lady Elba
By Paul Sherburne
This story is based on the life of Carrie Elba Sherburne, who began life severely handicapped by polio but overcame that and other burdens, such as losing her job because of her marital status. To this day, the case of Elba Sheldon vs Hopedale School Committee (1931) is often cited and studied in the field of Educational Law. It is through such study that many doctoral students in educational administration become familiar with the laws underlying the power to hire and fire and to set school policy.
