THE SCOUT. Founded by Sir Robert Baden-Powell. (Pearson.

lOw.-13d.) - Tax twentieth volume consists of over a thousand closely printed pages and innumerable illustrations. There -is a " Cub's Corner," making the letterpress suitable for boys of all ages: The little statement of what it is about which heads many of the stories and articles will be very useful in helping younger readers to choose what chapter to tackle. There is a great variety of subjects, many school stories, and less violent adventure than in most of the Christmas books for boys, so many of which seem modelled upon the Cinerria.
