The Boy Scouts Through the Big Timber : or The Search for the Lost Tenderfoot“A land-slide!” exclaimed Giraffe, as he sat up, and began twisting his long neck around, as though doubtful whether he should dodge to the right or to the left, since it was difficult to locate the direction from whence the furious racket seemed to come.“Better say an earthquake!” Step Hen managed to articulate, though he was shaking all over, with the excitement, that he would hardly have recognized his own voice. “I c’n feel the old ground shake! Listen, would you, to that smash! Must be volcanoes around here.”“Keep still, and listen,” said Thad, in that tone of authority which both the talkers recognized as belonging to the scoutmaster, rather than their Chum Thad.So they held their tongues, and strained their ears to listen.There was no trouble in hearing, for the racket still kept up. There were heavy thuds, crashes, and a breaking of bushes. No wonder the scouts were mystified. No wonder one thought it a land-slide, while another believed some supposed extinct volcano had burst into action again, and that the rain of stones that followed, produced these weird sounds.

“Call the roll, Mr. Secretary,” said the acting scoutmaster.Of course this was a mere matter of form, because everybody knew that the entire membership of the Silver Fox Patrol, connected with the Cranford Troop of Boy Scouts, was present. But nevertheless Bob White gravely took out his little book, and made each boy answer to his name.“Thad Brewster.”“Present,” said the patrol leader, and assistant scoutmaster.“Allan Hollister.”[4]“Here,” replied the second in command, a Maine boy, now living in Cranford, the New York town from whence these boys had journeyed to this far-off region along the foothills of the great Rocky Mountains.“Bumpus Hawtree.”“Ditto,” sang out the fat youth, looking up with a wide grin; for he was about as good-natured as he was ponderous.“Giraffe Stedman.”“More ditto,” answered the tall lad, with the long neck, and the quick movements, who was busying himself over the fire, being never so happy as when he could feed wood to the crackling blaze.“Step Hen Bingham.”“On deck,” replied the boy mentioned, who was busy with the supper arrangements.“Davy Jones.”“O. K.” came from the fellow who was walking on his hands at the moment, his waving feet being high in the air, where his head was supposed to appear; because Davy was a gymnast, and worked off his superfluous energy in doing all manner of queer stunts.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

About the Book Education refers to the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. This can involve storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and research that is directed by a teacher. While education is generally guided educators (teachers), students may also educate themselves (i.e. self taught). The science of teaching is called pedagogy, with its stages often including: preschool (kindergarten), primary school, secondary school (and possibly college), university, or apprenticeship to a master tradesman. Also in this Book Science is a systematic enterprise that builds knowledge through formulating testable hypothese and predictions about the physical universe. Its earliest roots of science can be traced to Ancient Egypt, India and Mesopotamia in around 3500 to 3000 BC. Scientific fields may be divided into: natural sciences, which examine natural phenomena including biological lifeforms, and social sciences, which analyze human behavior and societies. Both are empirical sciences. Disciplines that may be termed interdisciplinary applied sciences include engineering and medicine. Mathematics, which is formally classified as a science, exhibits similarities and differences to empirical sciences.And in this Book Research is undertaken to increase the stock of knowledge, and the use of that knowledge to improve performance or undertake new activity. Research is used to establish new hypothese or test established hypotheses.
