The growing frequency of requests from both 

 old and young readers asking for some standard, 

 rules or law to govern one's conduct on the game 

 field, combined with numerous demands for a de- 

 tailed list of what may be considered as honorable 

 achievement in the outdoor world, causes the author 

 to believe that the following code of ethics by Dr. 

 William T. Hornaday and a list of honorable 

 achievement compiled by Mr. Ernest Thompson 

 Seton, and revised and adopted by the Board of 

 Governors of the Camp-Fire Club of America, 

 will be welcomed by all people who love life in 

 the open. The Camp-Fire Club has not only 

 adopted Dr. Hornaday's code of ethics, but it has 

 also set a good example in not serving game at 

 any of its banquets unless it happens to have been 

 shot by some one of the members and sent in for 

 that occasion. The list of honorable achievements 

 is a result of years of work and consultation with 

 the highest authorities on all the particular out- 

 door pursuits, and has been subjected to careful 

 revision until it is safe to say that it now represents 

 the consensus of opinion of the most prominent 

 authorities and sportsmen in the world, and is 

 here published, by permission, for the benefit of 

 the readers of this book, with the belief that it 

 will be welcomed by both the boys and their sport- 

 loving parents.
