Theodore Roosevelt cannot review Arthur Astor Carey’s book. He agrees that the Boy Scouts should be trained to make them “first-class citizens” in peace and to be available to defend the country during war. No one can defend the right if they are not prepared to “stand up fearlessly against what is wrong.”
