THE BOY WITH THE U. S
WEATHER MEN. by Francis
Roll Wheeler; one of the U. S.
service lenei, profusely illus
trated with photographs loaned by
the Weather bureau.
Boys liked *o be treated as if
i they were men The) f*»el their
budding manliness long before their
elders sew anything hut raw and
ca'low youth. Mr Wheeler appre
; * iates thi.c and takes the hoy into
; his <onfidence. He makes a part
ner of him and lets him help in the
woild s work This series of hooka
is the be.it set we know of for
] aspiring, ambitious boyhood. It is
; educational in the highest / degree
| without having a dull page in It.
What the government is doing;
wha? the hoy” may hope to do to
i help jn the actual labor of the
| country is told him thru the char
a*i*r* depicted. Not manv older
people know he work done to safe
guard the country thru the scien
i tifl • understanding of hurricanes,
floods, droughts, etc. Could the
j boy's attention be directed to fro*
stories and th*- lurid, unreal tale*
i eliminated, there is no doubt but
| th” Juvenile court would have fewer
offenders on its hands.
