How the Work of Management
Is Accurately Divided

This is the first time body of dis
abled men, acting on their own ini-
tiative and asking no favors or char
ity from the public, are going ahead
independently. spending their own
money, made by such work and strug-
gle as the show called for, have un-
dertaken such project and they are
going to make sure that they will not
fall into the financial pit of debt.
The organization which is running
the camp is as well manned and as
thoroughly built as that in charge of

been selected from among the club
members to do the work for which
they are best fitted.
/. Working under the main direction of
the general governing board, which Is
composed Of about fifteen members,
are more than twenty sub commit
tees, taking care of detailed work from
the Hospital Committee. headed by
David P. Sentner, to the Laundry
Committee. There is a Library Com
mittee, Horticultural Committee to
care for the grounds and flowers. and
the Tentage and Transportation Com
mittees. Each of these bodies is
headed by man who has had several
years of practical experience in that
particular line of work. Disabled
students of architecture are attend

space; business school students work
on the finance committees and trans
portation work. which Is right in line
with their studies at college; men in
the botany classes at Columbia are on
the Horticultural Committee, and

all contracts and the care of any
legal action found necessary in con-
nection with the work at Bluefields.
The actual administration of the
club Is in the hands of an executive
officer, Charles Lansing; an accounts
officer, buildings officer and transpor-
tation officer. Each one OF these men
has been badly disabled. but to the
eye 1t Is not apparent. The visitor to
the club will not see a single wheel
chair or a pair of crutches. The men
are disabled physically. but in will

out his location, which Is Immediately
acted on by the guest committee, and
numbered quarters are allotted to him
for whatever time he desires. He pays
his first weeks board in advance and
is ready to move In. When he gets to
the camp he is met by the automobile
and his baggage taken care of for him
and his quarters are ready for occu-
pancy. He is given printed list OF
general regulations. a program for the
weeks events and settles down to
life of solid comfort and enjoyment.
Bugles will never be sounded at the
camp to crate on the sensitive ears,
with the exception of one or two mill
tary ceremonies during the season.
The members of the guest commit
