Home and School Associations.

"There is no other cooperative agency
so much needed by the school as the
home" declares Franklin B. Dyer, super.
intendent of the public schools of Bos.
ton, in communication to the United
States bureau of education, department
of the interior. "There never was a time
when the need was so great for intimate
connection between the home and school
as at present. The conditions of modern
life are so complex, opportunities for
good and evil are so numerous, the oc-
equations of the home are so meagre I'M
less they are related to the school and
the work of the school is so abstract I'm
less it has a practical outcome in the
home, that it is imperative for parents
and teachers to get together.
"The cooperation should not be con-
fined to a sentimental regard and respect
of each for the other. The training of
each must supplement the other. Such
cooperation can come about in no other
way so well as through organizations
that bring parents and teachers into
friendly and frequent association. The
problems of character building, of habit
formation, of training, of vocational
counsel, in fact all the questions that
pertain to the early period of child life,
are of equal Importance to parents and
teachers"

FARM PRODUCTION.
S13,44o, 100000 Estimated Total Gross
Value of Crops and Animal Products
for Year 1916.

By far the largest gross value of farm
production in this country was reached
in 1916, according to estimates made by
the United States department of agricul-
ture. The total of crops and animal
products was Sl3 ,449, 100000 an increase
of 1854 100000 over the total of 1915
which was itself high water mark The
mere increase is greater than the census
gross value of farm production in 1889,
and is nearly as large as the census crop
value in 1899. The increase Of 1916 over
1914 was 1854 100000. The gross value
of farm production is the total of crops
and animal products, and takes no ac-
count of the use of product as a mate
rial for other production; nor are any
costs of production subtracted. Conse-
quently, the value OF gross production
should be regarded as an index number
and not as so many net dollars put into
the farmers pocket.
The value of the net product of wealth
on farms has never been determined, and
can not now be estimated. The items for
the estimated years are expressed in
gross value and are made to conform to
the census plan so as to be comparable
with those for the census years.
If the gross value of the census farm
production of 1899 is represented by 100,
the value for 1870 was 469; for 1880,
522; for 1900, 1914; for 1914, 209.s; for
1915, 22S.4; and for 1916, 2S5.l.
In the subdivision of the value of
gross production into its two main ele-
ments, crops and animal products, it APP
pears that the total estimated crop value
in 1916 was $9,lll 100000. an amount
greater than the sum of the estimated
values of crops and of animal products
for any year previous to 1912, greater
than the total estimated crop value of
1915 by $2.204 100000, and OF 1914 by
81 999, 100000
The total estimated value of animal
products in 1916 was S433S 100000. or
more than double the value for 1904,
which was the highest amount to that
time. 1t was greater than the estimated
value of animal products in 1915 by
S470,000,000 and of 1914 by S555 100000.
Compared with the value of farm crops
in 1899, represented by 100. the crop
value for 1909 was 1888; for 1914 203.9:
for 1915, 1908; and for 1916. 303,s. A

CROWD AT FOO BALL GAME

Naval Academy this season, in spite
of the restrictions laid down be-
cause Of the war conditions.
Officials at the Academy nad their

this regard at the game between the
Middies and the eleven of Davidson

day. and it apparently worked entire
ly satisfactory The crowd attend
ing the game was not as large as for
rierly, and everything went of II
good order. Mindful of the fact tina
they would not be permitted to stroll
about the government reservation
promiscuously, those of the genera,

in sections of the grandstand set
apart for them, and they left the
