They think they have done a better thing through the efforts of their library com mission and the cooperation of the pub fishers of the best books for boys, they have issued Every Boys Library-Boy Scout Edition.' The library contains only such books as are of interest to boys, the first 25 being either works of fiction or stirring stories of adventurous exper- fences. All the books are by the authors of the very best books for boys-the original editions having been sold at prices ranging from $1 to $1.50, but now, through the hearty cooperation of the several publishers, may be purchased wherever books are sold at 50 cents vol ume It is the hope of the Boy Scout movement by this means to place within the reach of all parents the very best of the boys books. Books that have in them such things as appeal to boys, stories of heroes who possess characteristics boys so much admire men of unquenchable courage, immense resourcefulness, abso- lute fidelity. conspicous greatness; the men who do things, big things, wonderful things, the men who conquer and over come in the face of the heaviest odds"
 For the boys" said MT. Matthews in conclusion, that spirit is the stuff of which great manhood is made, and," said he, If through his reading we would pro- foundly influence him, we must constantly challenge him with stories of astonishing accomplishments, biographies that hold him spell bound, wonder tales of almost unattainable undertakings achieved. The need of the hour is that such books should be made easily accessible to boys and that intelligent direction be given so that boys lr...- xf. win results that count for mental and moral development"

 When asked as to whether he had found any such books in the shops of Birmin gham, MT. Matthews replied:
 Yes, a very considerable number, yet I would not care to have it re- ported that l thought the bookseller greatly at fault, a sinner above all others The fault l think lies more largely on the other side of the coun- ter. There Is such an unsuitable de- mand for cheap books-books selling from 25 to 50 cents that the average bookseller in order to hold his business feels the imperative need of handling these cheap publications, particularly the 25 cents one. On these, his profit is so small, he would gladly eliminate them if the trade would let him. But the trade demand is so great, he just must carry them or go out of busi- ness, he says"
