This is a book that belongs decidedly to the American boy of the present day. It is the story of Tim Scarsboro, a happy-go-lucky, lovable lad who finds an outlet for his boundless energy in the Pettibone Boys’ Club.
How Tim and the other boys of this club go camping, get up a minstrel, sell Thrift Stamps and do other patriotic work, as well as have a “grand, glorious time” on numerous occasions is described in a series of interesting chapters, culminating in a scene of such life and spirit as will appeal to any American lad.
Incidentally, in Under Orders, the boys’ club movement gets some of the credit that is due it for the good that it is doing in building up the ideals of American youth.
