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?”

Prairieland Talk —
This Generation Travels from State-to-State
With Ease Their Parents Hitched Up a Buggy
By ROMAINE SAUNDERS
LINCOLN — This generation
gets around from one state t"
another in their late model cars
with the ease
their parents
hitched up to
a buckboard
and drove out
to Dry creek
to cast in and
hook a 5
pounder. 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.
