SO little is causing comment in many circles out

SCHOOL MUST HAVE
HOMES ASSISTANCE
Complexities Of Modern Life Demane
Close Corporation Between
Teacher and Parent.

There is no other cooperative
as the home" declares Franklin B.
Dyer, superintendent Of public schools
of Boston, Mass, in a communication
to the United States Bureau of r,duca-
tion. There never was a time when
the need was SO great for intimate
connection between the home and
school as at preesnt. The conditions
of modern life are so complex, oppor-
tunities for good and evil are so nu-
merous. the occupations of the home
are so meager unless they are related
to the school, and the work Of the
school is so abstract unless 1t has u
practical outcome in the home. that
it is imperative for parents and teach
ers to get together.
THE cooperation should not be con-
fined to 4 sentimental regard and re-
spect of each for the other. The train
ing of each must supplement the
other. Such cooperation can come
about in no other way SO well as
through organizations that bring par
ents 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"
Superintendent Dyer has recently
given his Endorsement to a plan of
citizen cooperation with the city
school board. This plan provides for
an advisory council of citizens to con-
sist of local committees to represent
each school district, appointed by the
school and home associations of the
district. This plan," says Superin-
tendent Dyer. involves the ultimate
organization of a home and school or
ganization in every school district in
Boston," 1t is expected that the school
committee will designate the director
of extended use Of public schools, OF
some other official. to assist in the or
ganization and the activities of the
home and school associations wherever
they do not exist.

DOES DAIRYING PAY?
YOU BET, SAYS
FARMER

"Thc question Is often asked,
Does it pay to keep graded cows on
the ranch?' The following is my
experience.
"Not being situated so that I
could get the best dairy cows OBJ
tainable, got seven grade Jerseys
for the year 1916. For the cream
from these cows I received checks
from the Stevensville Cooperative
creamery to the amount of $526.61,
or an average Of $75,23 a head. In
addition we had butter for a family
Of nine, which amounted to $46.19.
We also had about 10000 pounds OF
skim milk, which was fed to chick
ems, hogs and calves. Moreover. we
had seven calves, five surviving.
We still have manure. which is be-
ing used as fertilizer, much needed
IL the ranch is to continue growing
good crops.
Il did not keep a record of the
amount Of feed given the seven
cows, but nevertheless I am sure
that the profit was worth the
game. Nothing on our ranch comes
in more handy than a cream check
every month.
