CONCERNING HUNTERS
LICENSE.
Prosecuting Attorney Orear Writes
Concerning the Important
Question.

To the Editor OF the Ledger
MEXICO Mo-, Oct. 3l.--Dear Sir: Al
the hunting season is about to open a
number Of inquiries have been receiv-
ed BY me as to the requirements Of
the new game law as to "hunters
licenses" will you kindly print the
following:
No person Is required to procure q
license to hunt, unless he expects to
hunt outside of the county In which
be lives. This law Is very plain, and
has recently been passed upon by
Judge Barnett, to mean what it says.
The section Of the new law determin-
ing this question Is as follows:
SECTION "a. 1t shall be unlawful
for any person, after the passage OF
this act, to hunt in this State, outside
Of the county in which he lives, with
out iirst obtaining license permit
ting him or her to do SO. Such license
shall be dated when issued and shall
authorize the person named therein tc
hunt during that year, and then only
subject to the regulations and restric.
tions OF law.
II is plainly not my duty, under thit
law, to begin the prosecution of AM
person. who is a resident Of thii
county, who hunts in this county
without license, and | shall not dt
so, unless complaint is made thatsom
other provision Of the game law hal
been violated.
Yours very respectfully,
JNo. d. OREAR,
Prosecuting Attorney.

A SUGGESTION FOR
RURAL TEACHERS.
By A. Ross Hill, Dean OF the mis-
souri, Teachers College.

In the District School perhaps the
greatest problem for the teachers is
to keep the pupils interested in the
work Of the school. The whole thing
seems SO unnatural to the boy In par
ticular. The boy is right. The life
he is expected to lead during school
hours Is SO artificial and unnatural as
compared with his activities outside
| of school hours that 1t is little wonder
lhe grows restless and losss in
terest in the work Of school, II indeed
bis interest In it is ever awakened at
all. The remedy for this condition Of
affairs is to be found in making the
conditions OF school life more like
those OF the home and Of the COM
munity.
Now for the boy from the farm this
much needed charge can be most
easily and effectively brought about
by the introduction Of Elementary
IAgricalture as one Of the subjects
| OF study In school, The boys inter
ests In farming operations have al
ready been awakened at home; and II
the school will but utilize these inter
ests and show the relation Of farming
to other industries, to trade, and to
progress in all that makes for mans
comfort, it will be quite easy to inter
est him In such other subjects as
history, geography, and arithmetic.
These subjects will come to mean
something to him because he will see
their relation to the farm activities lin
which he is already interested. Be
sides, the boys observations outside
Of school have already introduced him
to the elements of many sciences; and
INSTEAD Of putting him at work IN
school on subjects entirely foreign to
bis education up to the time he ENTER
ed, those elements Of knowledge should
be made the starting point Of hii
cehooI work
