(END) -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- EVERY BOY'S LIBRARY BOY SCOUT EDITION SIMILAR TO THIS VOLUME The Boy Scouts of America in making up this Library, selected only such books as had been proven by a nation-wide canvass to be most universally in demand among the boys themselves.

Originally published in more expensive editions only, they are now, under the direction of the Scout's National Council, re-issued at a lower price so that all boys may have the advantage of reading and owning them.
