AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONS.
The Summary of the Crop Reports Made to the State Bureau of Statistics.
The tinftl bulletin of the State Bureau of Statistics upon tbe Agricultural productions of Iwliana during the last season was issued yeMerday. Considerable care i3 been given to tlie collection and compilation oT the information, and Ihe very essential merit of accuracy is claimed tor the report. It is further claimed that the nnal statistics accord with tbe estimates made in tbe monthly bulletins which have been issued during Ihe season, beginning with April.
Wheat..—A summary of the statistics upon wheat show a yield of 46,fl2H,643 bushels, and an acreage of 3,0().3,348, while last year 30.025,t5(»8 bushels were grown upon*3,201,547 acres. The acreage in the three divisions of the state is as follows: Northern division, comprising twenty-seven counties,844,159 acres central division, tbirty-one counties, 1,255,052 southern division, tbirty-four counties, JMJ3.537. The yield in these three divisions was: Nocthern, 9,641,282 bushals central, 21,190,928, aud southern, 10,090,433.
COKN.—The coin crop, it is shown by the returns, is very much larger than was expected, acd can has been taKen, Ihe bureau assures, to verify the figures "in various ways and from many sources of information." During the last two months of ihe season tbe growth ot corn was remarkable, and some counties reported the crop the iargest 1or several years. The total yield this year is 115, 099,797 bushels and tbe acreage is 3 312, 083. The acreace last year was 3,135,178 and production 71,387,075.- Acreage for 1882—Northern division, 975,047 acres central, 1,351,033 acres, and southern, 980, 003 acres. Yield—Northern division, 32, 020.581 bushels central, 48,092,375 southern, 33,980,841.
Oats—The aggregate production is the largest ever grown in the btate. The acreage was 084,822, and the number of bushels 19,015,516. Last year tbe production wss 14,398,617 bushels, that of 1880 was 10,541,959. and in 1879 it was 15,599,518. The largest crop grown previous to this year was 1879.
Rye—One of the minor crops of the state, the acreage was only 36,695 and the yield 548,405 bushels. "Last year the yield was 208,912 bushels from 15,839 acres.
Barley—The yield is more than twenty bushels to the acre, and is largely in excess of that of 1881. From 44,242 acres 1,138.717bushels were produced, while last year the acreage was 26,238 and the yield 526,364 bushels.
Flax—Seventeen counties grew no flax, seventeen others had less than 100 acres each, and but 42 of the 92 counties exceed 1.000 acres each. The counties growing the most flax are, 82,118 acres in Wabash, 50.567 in Huntiugton, 48,559 in Randolph, 47,772 in Madison, 45,925 in Grant, 40,005 in Henry, 31,705 in Allen, 27,204 in Benton, and 21,440 in Delaware. All the other counties tall below 20,000 acres each. The acreage was 137,814, and the bushels of seed grown 905,451.
TOBACCO.—The area to tobacco this vear was 17,234 acres, and pounds pro iluced 13,593,186. Last year the area was 13,615 acres and production 6,565,782 pounds. Twelve counties are reported as growing no tobacco. Tbe acreage in four counties exceeds 1,000 for each, viz: War rick, 4,473 Spencer, 4,000 Pike, 1,077, aud Dubois, 1,062 acris.

I(
METHODS OK INSTRUCTION
front which the following brief extracts are taken: Though there is no agreement as regards the observation of any particular method of teaching, there is an agreement in regard to very many of Ihe fundamental .principles that underlie all true methods. Nothing is better established than that the mind gains in the power of perception, of remembering, of reasoning, of imagining, aud of willing through its own activity, and no teacher, however learned, can do more for a child than to incite him to mental activity. He who attempts to do more does too much. All methods ot instruction should keep this in view. All methods wh'ereby the teacher does the work of the recitation, or wherein the pupils recite mere words, are a hinderance. Methods which consist in filling the minds of the pupils with mere vital forms—which requires pupils to commit to memory, by mere repitition. a mass of rules, definitions and statements, about which they expect to be questioned, and for the purpose of answering the questions—superinduce stupidity. All forced education is a hinderance.
The first effort of the teacher should be to secure the attention of his pupil.
Young children have a intense desire to know not words merely but things tbey have a stroDg craving for new id« as, and take the deepest enjoyment in the exercise of tlie perceptive and conceptive faculties, so that tbe teachers, averseness on tbe part of the children to study tbe object presented, may accept it as a sign that it is presented out of its proper order, or in an indigestable form. "i
SPELLING.
Spelling as a separate exercise, should be begun as soon as the child can pronounce, point and name the letters of six or eight words.
The words may be writen on the blackboard. It is hardly necessary to add that spelling should by principally a written exercise. Pupils must be taught to see work*. Every means should be used to fix a picture of the word in the mind.
READING.
Teach, first, the idea then the soundsymbol, or spoken word next the form symbol, or printed word and last, as it is represented by the script characters. The sense, tlie sound, the form and tbe use must go together in teaching reading. 8
After the child knows tlie word by sight—can point it out wherever he sees it, and gives its name—then must* begin the labor of teaching him to make its letters.
Avoid teaching the child words any faster than he understands them. All knowledge, to be of use, must be comprehended, and must be assimilated before it can be applied.
Faults in reading are most readily overcome when the efforts to correct them are chiefly directed to one kind at a time, and the training continued until the pupils clearly perceive the fault and take tbe proper means to correct it.
NUMBER.2.
It is now accepted by most teachers that the mind gains a clear and adequate knowledge of things only in the presence ot tbe things themselves, and tbe acceptance of this cardinal principal has effected a great change in their methods. They do not now begin wilh verbal descriptions or abstract definition). The definition is presented in the object to be studied—the description, in presenting it to the vision. This method should be employed iu the first steps in numbers. A child should lie led to the preccption of number, by presenting it as it is exemplified in surgo
5
LANGUAGE.
Last year the most gratifying changes were made in methods of teaching language. Many of tbe teachers, for the first time, began giving "language lessons," with some degree of success. There efforts are leading to a great change in the methoJs of teaching grammar.
Heretofore the aim, correctness in the use of language has been but imperfectly attained in the -teaching of this subject. Tbe intelligent teachers have discovered their errors—the attempt to teach definitions without developing in the minds of the pupils tne ideas underlying them, and the effort to confine the instruction to merely theoretical and critical work, without sufficient practice in the application of principles and rules to the actual use of language—anJ arc correcting them.
Many of the elementary principles of raramar are learned by thecUWdren beore they begin its btudy in tbe schools." They learn "to apply the distinctions of gender person, number and case long before they recite a lesson of technical grammar.
