The Boys BOOK OF SPORTS AND OUTDOOR
LIFE; edited by Maurice Thompson. Pub
lisbed by the Century Company, New YORK.
The Century Company were fortunate
IN securing MIR. Maurice Thompson as the
editor of this book. He is a born hunter
and knows all about boys. 1t is to his
brilliant pen that the American public
owe the revival OF archery as pastime,
There could be no better proof or his IN
fluence as a writer on field sports. His
lifelong studies of nature, his familiarity
with game and their habits, and his re-
cognized authority in all branches Of ath.
letio exercises, are here put to the service
of his Juvenile admirers. If this book con-
tanned only Mr.. Th0mpson's "Marvin and
His Boy Hunters" In twenty-seven Oh ap-
tiers. it would still be a most interesting
contribution to the literature Of it's kind.
The story teens with incidents so natu-
rally and dramatically told as to fas-
cinate every reader, old or young, who
has any liking for outdoor life. 1t
is made up from other books, but is full
OF original and personal observations and
experience. The second half of the vol
ume covers the special subjects of "Fish-
ing" Archery" "BOats and Boating"
Camps and Campers" "Swim ming and
Waking" "The Camera' and HWinter
Sport" Some of the best writers on these
subjects in America were glad to assO-
ciate themselves with Mr.. Thompson in
the production OF articles exactly fitted
for the "Boys' Book OF Sports" While
their narratives amuse, their practical
and plthy advice teaches the reader.
There is an abundance of pictures and
diagrams, and the whole appearance of
the volume, inside and out, is worthy OF
the Century Company's high reputation.
