Intensive Training, Study, And Recreation Composed Sum- mer's Program
The training camps gave five weeks of intensive instruction and drill.

Each man was allowed five cents per mile for traveling expenses and received $1 per day for the time he was in camp. He was also provided with uniform and complete equipment.
In each camp there was a wide range of student activities suited to all varieties of tastes. Dances were held every Saturday evening for the students. There were several musical organizations, and a camp news team. The dance team and each camp maintained a small open to all students and instructors. At Fort Monroe there is spacious beach and non-swimmers

C is allowed to send three per cent of the cadets who specialize in engineering. Five per cent of those who are taking instruction in coast artillery in addition to those who go to a coast artillery camp may take a basic infantry course.

The two largest laboratories are given over to Chemistry I, II, III and IV. Chemistry II being much the largest class, is affected most. The number of pupils who can work in laboratory is limited by the floor space and the table tops, and by the number of lockers for each individual pupil.
World's Lowest Death Rate.
These two rooms contain 5,000 square feet of floor space, and 718 linear feet of table top. The floor space cannot be increased without having to use additional lengths can be increased very little without crowding the room. Under the 718 feet of table top are now 427 lockers. Since neither floor space nor the length of the table space is large enough with the policy of the administrative office, it has been decided to increase the number of lockers.
