SCOUTING FOB BOYS.
~10 THE EDITOH. Sir,—As very little is known of this admirable work, permit me to sav a few words about it. The object is 'to train boys to become better citizens,' and also to teach them to tako care of themselves, to be clean in mind and body, to be always on the alert, and to help and be considerate to others. A handbook is used, "Scouting for Boys,' costing Is sd. This book deals with all subjects of interest to boys, such as tracking, hut-building, camp cooking, and scores of other, equal! v interesting -things. The movement Is verv backward in Dunedin at present, so"' ff parents wouid send forward their chSdren and the boys themselves euro] it would be most gratifying to all concerned. Already some leading citizens have given a help"ing hand, but we are hampered only bv the want of hoys. Intending r«W a should communicate with r W. Carr ific George street.—l am, etc., ' • April 15.
