THE SCOUT HANDBOOK

Since the foundation Of the scout
movement the Handbook Of the Boy
Scouts OF America has been the COM
panion and guide of perhaps more
boys than any other book in the Eng
fish language. The book has proved
80 attractive to boys that schools have
adopted It as a textbook because Of
its appeal, as well as its literary merit
and fund Of Information
A nine-year-old boy, SO the story
goes, once started out to mem0rize Its
500 pages. 1t can be said 1t Is found
In the pocket of the scout, on the
bookshelf of the naturalist, with the
greenhorn In camp. with the explorer
In the outlands. sometimes in the
housewives kitchen table drawer. and
once 1t was placed with a dead hero
in his grave left lying In his coat
just as 1t Was when he was lifted
from the trenches.
The chapters on Woodlore, Fire Pre-
vention, Health, Signaling. Radio,
Patriotism. Tracking and other sub
Jects were written by experts who
not only know their subject profound
ly. but can present the information In
fascinating way to boys.
Perhaps no other book has ever
been published with SO large num-
Der of editors as the Handbook of
the Boy Scouts. When the movement
was started in this country. the nm
tional council sent a proof of the
work to 500 college presidents. and
$500 men engaged In active boys
work, with the request that they share
In the responsibility Of planning this
great movement. Many valuable sug
gestions were received and acted on.
James e. West. chief scout execu
tive, says: 1--WE had In mind that we
must build our foundations with great
care, so that they would stand the
strain of the coming years, and those |
who have been in touch with the work
Of the movement know how well they
have stood that strain We hoped |
then, IL years ago. as we built, to |
reach the goal that we have now at
tanned: the largest organized activity |
for character building and citizenship |
