Excerpt from The Woodcraft Manual for Boys: The Fifteenth Birch Bark Roll
The League also acknowledges with many thanks the cover medallion by J. F. Kelly and the drawing of the Woodcraft Boy; the article on the Life F orce by Dr. Valeria Parker; the article Wireless for Woodcrafters by A. Frederick Collins; permission of Raymond Ditmars to use material from which the article and drawing of Snakes, Good and Bad were made; and the games suggested by a number of friends.
The Committee has attempted to have the Manual contain information on most of the subjects which would come up in group work. Where a subject has not been carefully covered, reference books have been given.
While Woodcraft as founded by Mr. Seton has been carried on for fourteen years, the Woodcraft League in its present form is but a few months old. Owing to the necessity for a Boys' Manual the present Birch Bark Roll has been produced under pressure and does not include all the material originally planned. But it is given to the public with the thought as expressed in the Preface to Two Little Savages.
Because I have known the torments of thirst, I would dig a well where others may drink.
