Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Boy Scouts Year Book, 1921 The growing boy and girl are the chief assets of our country. Our natural resources in mineral lands, forests and streams, sources of food, and our large business opportunities, important as they are, must be considered as of secondary importance as compared with the proper development of the citizenship of to-morrow. The environment in which the boy and girl live, their educational opportunities and their manner of using their leisure time, will largely govern their development. Of the 5,000 hours a year that the boy is awake, the school room has but 1,000, and he is without a definite program for a good portion of the remaining 4,000 hours. The Boy Scout Movement serves to supply a definite program for this leisure time of the boy. Through careful study, it has been discovered that the average boy spends a great deal of his leisure time in reading. For this reason those responsible for promoting the Boy Scout Movement have definitely interested themselves in supplying an attractive and at the same time a wholesome reading program for him. The official Handbook for Boys has now reached a distribution of over 200,000 copies a year; Boy´s Life, the official monthly magazine of the movement, has reached a circulation of 100,000 and it is growing steadily; and in the last few years, there has been made available, with the aid of a strong Library Commission, a special edition of books for boys, known as Every Boy´s Library. Further, the Boy Scout Movement undertakes to list books which are worth while, and is prepared to give advice, when requested, as to books which are not worth while.
