✦ Synopsis

The lecturer pointed out the dangers that arise from faulty camp construction and regulation, whether the occupants be soldiers or laborers. These dangers may not be confined to those in the camp, but may extend to distant communities in the same general district. Consideration was given to methods for caring for fecal material; horse manure; kitchen refuse and general garbage; flytransmission of disease; incineration and types of incinerators; policing of camps; protection of watersheds; protection of camp sites; camp water supplies; portable laboratories for water analysis; European army standards for water; sterilization and related sanitary problems.
