The Indiana School Boards association advocates changing the law to permit a “lay” state school board, rather than the present “mixed” system. The Indiana constitution, passed in 1851, calls for a state superintendent of public instruc* tion who is elected every two years. He in turn is backed up by a state board of education which is composed of three commissions; the general commission, teacher training and licensing commission, and textbook adoption commission. The present system varies in strength with the strength of the elected superintendent, and the commission members appointed by the governor. The boards at present have a strong “professional” bias — the state superintendent, William E. Wilson, is a former county superintendent; a teacher, elementary principal, two superintendents, and two non-school people complete the board. The Indiana School boards association, made up of all the local school board members in the state, favor: • ■- 1. An immediate law change to permit the electing of a single state school board by district, probably the congressional districts, to replace the present three commissions. 2. Proposal of an amendment to permit the state school board to appoint, rather than elect at large, the state superintendent of schools. The. Indiana State Teachers Association, which includes most of the teachers in the state, favors holding up on the first proposal until the second has been approved by two successive state legislatures, and ratified by a vote of the people, as is necessary for a constitutional amendment. The state school superintendents are split; the local district favors the school board view, while other districts, especially in central Indiana, favor the teacher view. There strong feeling throughout the state that the state school board, over tlie years, has been a pretty weak operation. It is quite possible that some changes would strengthen it, and education, in Indiana. We are not certain, in our own minds and at this time, that an elective board would necessarily be stronger than an appointed one, set up on the same system. We would have to see how the nominations, are proposed, etc., before we could concur on that point. But there is no doubt that any measure found to strengthen education should be adopted, and any which weakens it should be rejected. Editorial written by— Dick Heller

Wren Lady To Mark 98th Anniversary

Not many people can claim 25 grandchildren, .74 great-grand-children, and 16 great-great-grand-children. But then, not many people observe 98th birthdays, as will Mrs. Laura Clifton Purk, Wren, Ohio’s mcst distinguished citizen. Mrs. Purk will observe her 98th birthday Friday in the small Ohio community, where she has resided her entire life.. Last Sunday, Mrs. Purk’s family enjoyed a dinner in her honor at the Clifton homestead, and the day was spent visiting with grandchildren and taking pictures — which would seem to require at least a day. The number of grandchildren above is correct. Mrs. Purk has 25 grandchildren, 74 great-grand-children and 16 great-great-grand-children. Born in 1866 Mrs. Purk was born May 8, 1866, to the late Frederick and Nancy Ann Sheets, at the Sheets homestead, which is located onehalf mile west of Wren. The home was built by Mrs. Purk’s grandfater, John Sheets, who came to Wren from Pennsylvania and purchased a tract of land west of the Ohio town. The homestead is owned now by a grandson, Reginald Clifton. The south section is now separated 4-HCLIHI Joint Meeting The Monmouth 4-H clubs held their fourth meeting at the Monmouth high school.

from the original farm by the ErieLackawanna railroad, and is occupied by one of Mrs. Purk’s sons, Corval Clifton. Last of Family Mrs. Purk is the last survivor of her family. Her father was one of the founders of the first church of Wren, the old Constitution United Brethren church. The well-known lady was married to Landy J. Clifton in 1883, and five years later they purchased and cleared the land to build their home. The home, where Mrs. Purk still lives today, is located at the east edge of Wren. They had seven children, Roy and Lambert Clifton, now deceased; Harry, Corval and William Clifton, who live in or near Wren; Mrs. Olive Johnson, of Huntington, and Helen Shepard, who resides with her mother. Landy Clifton set up a tile mill in Wren and their home was always open to laborers and homeless, as well as to the traveling ministers who conducted several-week-long revivals during the winter months. Furnishes Rooms Wren was a very industrious village with a sawmill, lumber yard, creamery, packing house, bank, hotel, blacksmith .shop, stores, restaurants, et’e., and passenger trains were stopping each day at that time. Mrs. Purk furnished board and room for the construction workers of the Buckeye Pipeline Co., and the workmen of the Chicago and Erie railroad going through Wren. After 37 years of a happy and industrious married lite, her husband passed away on June 30, 1920. In 1926, she married her second husband, Douglas Purk. He died on November 3, 1944, and for the next six years Mrs. Purk lived alone in the same home that she and her first husband had built in 1888. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Shepard, her daughter and son-in-law, moved from their farm southwest of Wren in 1950 to reside with Mrs. Purk. Oldest Church Member Mrs. Purk is the oldest living member of the Wren United Brethren in Christ church and of Auglaize conference. She still attends church when able, and is presently enjoying moderately good health. She is still active in her home and enjoys, visiting with relatives and friends. Last year she attended a silver and two golden wedding anniversary celebrations of her children. Mrs. Purk says she irs very grateful and thankful to the Lord for .His care and kindness through ! her 98 years.
