RI General Assembly by
Gov. Dockery.
REFERS TO FREE SCHOOL TEXT BOOKS.

Text Books-

Jefferson City, No., Jan. 20.-Gov.
Doekery. in u message TO the general
assembly this morning. declared his
position regarding free textbooks.
He recommends the submission of q
constitutional amendment authorizing
counties, townships or school districts
to tax themselves for the purchase Of
textbooks for the free use Of pupils.
In effect, the governor proposes local
option, The message follows:
TO the Senate and IIouse Of Representa-
ives:
The cost OF textbooks for the children
OF our public schools, during the last six
years amounted to nearly tJ,Oc9.Og0, or an
Tor each pupil enrolled.
The present system by which text
books have been furnished under contract
has been maintained during the last
twelve years. Its purpose Is TO secure uni
iotmlty and 10 educe prices for school
About one-haif OF the states OF tho un-
system, thus enabling the. schools to be
better graded and articuiatcd and the
In The purchase Of school materials. The
books now In use In tho public schools Of
Missouri were contracted under a law np-
adoption for ave. years, and until other.
Wise provided by law In tho absence "
additional legislation, no other textbooks
used In the public schools.
II appears from the able report OF Su-
n"rintendent Darlington that the books
ln the main been satisfactory. but II IL
thought that the HIST should nov he re-
yised. There have been dif1eultles In
when needed. and II Is thought that ac-
ton should be taken looking TO a reduce
ton Of tho present prices.
Obviously, IL " the duty OF the general
assembly to enact such legislation as Will
secure the very best school books. at the
loves, prices. TO be furnished TO the
annoyance to tho patrons.
In my opinion, the contemplated reyi.
sion OF textbooks. and attendant reduc-
wise and cxacting safeguards. TO a com
mission, clothed with full authority 10
deal with this whole question. with the
educational system. Missouri's public
schools arc not e~xccilcd by those OF any
other state % this republic. and our ehil'
books, at the lowest possible cost. Grca,
care should be taken IN the legislation
enacted to accomplish these desired TO,
suits. There should DO no element OF
chance, The cnnctmonts on this question
should clearly be in the interest OF oui
ford the youth OF this state only thai
which r. best In educational advantage,
and facilities.
In submitting this recommendation fol
a Textbook commission, l shall. not pre-
sent further argument. inasmuch as thi,
important question has, been 50 fully and
20 impartlally discussed In the annual re-
port OF the state superintendent Of schools
In this connection I desire. to advert

off chiefly the weakenings. One of the greatest causes of birds scarcity, and one which should be immediately re- medied, is the lack of protection in winter. Almost all or the WoodcOck in this country pass the winter within the borders of nine of the southern states. and seven of these nine North Caro- lima, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas give the birds absolutely no protection. From the time they arrive in the fall until what is left of them departs in the spring they are sbutchered by every one who chooses to butcher them, and as these do not prohibit the shipment of woodcock, the dead birds are shipped by thousands, many of them to the northern market. But much worse than this is the spring and summer shooting which is still tolerated in many states. Spring shooting, a practice no desent sportsman would stoop to, is permitted in Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee, and as the birds have begun to nest about three weeks before the season closes, this means that during those three weeks, for every pair of old birds killed, twice that number of eggs or young will probably perish also. There can be no excuse for such sickening crime as this; men who cannot exist without killing game in the breeding season should receive no more consider ation than the rats, the Weasels, the jackals and the skunks. whose habits they follow so closely. Summer shoot ing is as bad or worse, permitting as it does the unprincipled gunners to slay the old birds with the young before the latter axe able to take care Of them selves. This barbarous practice is al- lowed in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, the District of Columbia and on Long Island, With such want of foresight on the part of sportsmen and others presumably interested in the preservation of game, it is a wonder that the woodcock is not already ex- tinct. To prevent such calamity as the Wiping out of this bird, sportsmen and bird-lovers generally should band together at once and secure legislation which will put a stop to spring and summer shooting and insure proper protection for woodcock during the winter. If, through the cooperation of the sportsmens clubs in the several states most interested, universal close season for Woodcock could be arranged for a period of two or three years, it would give the bird a good chance to put itself out of all present danger of eXtermination, and looking at it from a selfish standpoint. It would at the end of that short period give the sports men something worth going out to shoot.

THE EXTER ANIMATION OF THE
 WOODCOCK.
Continued from Fourth Page.>

 The fact that WoOdcock are growing scarcer and scarcer can no longer be disguised. The situation is regarded as already very serious by all who know what it means. The Woodcock is not a bird to multiply with great rapidly under the most favorable conditions, In the first place, the number of eggs in each set is comparatively small; four as compared with from eight to four teen for the ruffed grouse, and from ten to eighteen for the bob white Then being one of the early migrants, it Is often Overtaken by cold storms. which sometimes kill thousands of individuals The effect of one such storm which overlook the luckless birds on the coast of South Carolina, February 13 and IA, 1899, is described by Mr. Arthur T. Wayne, as follows:
 ''The woodcock (Phil0hela minorl ar- rived in countless thousands. Prior to IiiSil hlilF Al l ltdu SGHu put two DlrOS the entire winter. They were every- Where and were completely bewidered. Tens of thousands were killed by would be sportsmen, and thousands were frozen to death. The great majority were so emaciated that they were practically feathers, and of course were unable to withstand the cold. One man killed 200 pairs in a few hours. I shot a dozen birds. Late Tuesday afternoon I easily caught several birds in the snow, and put them into a thawed spot on the edge of swift run- ming stream in order that they would not perish but on going to the place next morning. I found one frozen. These were fearfully emaciated and could scarcely fly Two birds were killed in Charleston in Broad street It will be many years before this fine bird can establish itself under most favorable conditions"
 Other natural enemies of the wood- cock are cats. red squirrels, sharp shined hawks and mink, but these do comparatively little harm, as they kill
