The Boy Scout's Companion. Edited by Morley Adams. (R.T.S. 3s.

6d.)—This book would make a very good prize for a competition among Scouts during their indoor work in the winter. The dif- ferent chapters discourse on many features of the Scout's training, treating alike of practical things such as ambulance, woodcraft, and signalling, and also of the fundamentals, like chivalry and honour. These last are treated with sense and discretion, and there are also some short stories. Altogether the volume is one which a Scout would consider a desirable possession.
