Going on up the hill you can see
more of the officers quarters. The
long building to the left of the photo
and just beyond the big tree is the
camp exchange and on beyond that Is
the Y. NJ. c. A. building. where they
have reading and writing rooms for
those who have any spare time to
enjoy them. Since we have been in
spare time the writer has had was on
Saturday afternoons and Sundays and
most of this time was spent In trying

place where the classification board
sits in judgment as to whether any of
us will have permission to remain here
or have to return to civilian life. This
board is, as the name implies, the
committee which washes out our
transgressions and smoothes our path
way for us when we get into any diff
culties. Our whole company passed
in review before 1t yesterday and a
mighty scared lot we were too, / can
assure you. l have it on good au-
thority that several of our best men,
college graduates and college profess

In order that you may get some
idea of the size of the building
only half of which is shown in this
picture, / will give you some fig
ures concerning them. AS you
look at this row OF buildings,
which by the way Is called can
tonment," you first see the
latrines and lighthouses. These
are the buildings that are cross
wise in the picture and have
openings near the roof, instead
of windows. The long ones are
the lighthouses and the shorter
ones are latrines.
The barracks themselves are
those that are seen endwise
from where this picture was
taken and are thirty-six in num-
bar. Two for each company,
each building housing eighty
men. The space between each
two buildings being the company
street. Each barracks is 125
feet long by 20 feet wide and
you can see that there is ample
ventilation supplies by the forty
windows, all of the windows and
doors being screened. Each
building has five doors, three on
the side towards the company
street and two on the opposite
side. The barrack with the cross
on the end is the one in which the
writer has been living since the
eighth of May. Going from one
end of the Barracks row" to the
other, you will cover more than
$500 feet, so you can see that
we have O. small city.
