The State Superintendency A turn of events in the state department of education has in teresting possibilities. Ten days ago Wayne O. Reed, state superintendent of public instruction, was named president of Peru State Teachers college by appointment. He accepted the appointment and consequently withdrew as a candidate to succeed himself in the state educa tion post. Reed’s opponent for the non-political job was Merle A. Hay* nes, ex-mayor of South Sioux City and presently a florist there. Haynes had been encouraged to run by representatives of rural •chool boards, by several farmer organizations and by a number of county superintendents who professed unhappiness with the trend of the state education department. Mr. Reed had baan a champion for federal aid and state aid to schools and for compulsory redistricting. These objectives have been quite generally opposed by taxpayers. On Saturday Mr Reed’s deputy, Freeman B. Decker, orig inally of Arlington and former Wayne businessman and Wayne county superintendent, got into the race. Earlier he had been considered by some to run against Reed but he declined to compete against his boss. With Reed’s with drawal the road was clear for him to go after the job. The big question now is: What platform will Mr. Decker use for his campaign? In a press statement following his filing, Decker pledged to “provide the sound, sensible educational program demanded by the people of Nebraska for their boys and girls. In a few days I shall submit to the people for their consideration a more detailed st&tement of my views. “In the meantime, I want it fully understood that I firmly intend to uphold the principle of community-centered locally controlled schools,” he added. In reviewing the impending Haynes-Decker battle, the Dakota County Star (South Sioux City) queried: “Will he (Decker) continue the policy of the present depart ment, which has included threats to legislators who failed to go along with a proposal to vote a sales tax and give 75 percent of the money to the schools? Or will he try to steal the objectives of Mr. Haynes and the people who induced him to oppose Mr. Reed?” Help U Club in All-Day Mealing— PAGE — The Help U club met Wednesday, June 21, at the home of Mrs. William Buxton for an all-day meeting.

My son, Glenn, and family have returned to Miles City, Mont., after a _ trip that took Romaine th(Tm into 9 Saunders states, center ing in the Southern California area. Glenn has not authorized me to do so but I think friends of Prairieland Talk may be in terested in some observations he made. “We saw a lot of country on our 4,600-mile jaunt,” he writes, “some of it being pretty, most not so, and some rather inter esting because of being unus ual. You hear of the wonders ol this and that place, and when you see them it is nothing as far as I can see. Two things really left an impression, Mt. Hood in Oregon and the Grand Canyon of the Colorado river immm&wMmMwmmMBm wm Mt. Hood is 3,000 feet less than ; Mt. Shasta in California, the highest peak in the U. S., but it is all by itself in country that is much lower, and really | is majestic. It impresses one as a complete world in itself and one is awed by the majesty of the scene. “The Grand Canyon leaves the same impression, only in re verse. It beggars the imagina tion to realize there is a chasm ; so large, and the amazing color ] adds to the grandeur. At one point we were on a slight over hang with a railing around it, below which is a straight drop I of nearly a mile.” * * * Dan Cupid finds a way. It was in 1880. Polk Eastman and Ol ive Pratt were the “contract ing parties’” in an unique wed ding. Rev. Mr. Penney lived some miles distant from their - homes ond a trip to his abode on horseback involved crossing the Kentucky river, but when at nightfall the 2 hopefuls ar rived at the river brink they found it at flood stage and were unable to cross. The prospective bridegroom was for turning back but the lady had other ideas. She pro posed they make themselves heard and succeeded in arous mg the minister who came out of his cabin with lighted lan tern and asked what was wanted. “We want to be married,” shouted Eastman across the rushing waters. “What are your names and where are you from?” shouted back the Rev. Penney. Again a shout of names and places came on the night air across the Kentucky. “Do you, Olive Pratt, take this man to be your lawful husband?” “Yes, sir, I do," shouted Olive. “Do you, Polk Eastman, take this woman as your wife until death do you part?” “Sure do, Par son!” And so an unusual marriage ceremony was consumated. • • • An addition to the state uni versity scholarship provides $1, 000 yearly to help students of demonstrated outstanding abil ity, with no strings attached be cause of “race, religion, sex or social affiliation.” The less bril liant and maybe more substan tial students who may need a lift don’t come in on this size able yearly contribution to ed ucational funds. r A group of American mili tary experts are instructing 1S0.000 natives of Iran in mod ern methods of warfare. Shades of Cyrus, ghost of Xer es! If those old Persian gen erals could step in on the scene they would boot the pants off their degenerate des cendants for sending abroad for instructors to teach them to fight. * * * Pencil making is a $25,000,000 yearly industry in the United States.
