llustration: LAND DRILL]

A lantern which is not clean and shining and ready for use is a disgrace
to any camp. Every morning chimneys should be washed and wiped, lanterns
filled, wiped clean, wicks wiped off with a piece of newspaper and
turned down. They do not need to be trimmed every day. Have a place for
the lanterns to hang or stand during the day. The lamp cloths should be
washed, dried in the sun and hung where they will not be caught up and
used for other purposes.

Double Boiler

A very good double boiler can be made by using a large outer boiler in
the bottom of which is placed a pot rest and a small amount of water.
Stand on the rest either one kettle well covered, or if necessary, two
kettles, one on top of the other, both tightly covered and the outer
boiler tightly covered. This arrangement forms a kind of fire-less
cooker which is exceedingly satisfactory, especially for cooking
cereals.

Trash Boxes

Each tent or group of tents should have a conveniently placed trash box.
These can be made of wooden frames covered with screening, can be small
half-barrels or kegs, painted, or small portable incinerators. These
boxes should be emptied every twenty-four hours and the contents burned.

Weighing Scales

Another piece of furniture is a pair of personal scales, for the weight
of each child entering and leaving camp is of interest and value. Do not
use form with springs.

Games

The game equipment must not be forgotten. Basket balls, volley balls,
water polo balls, baseballs and bats, quoits, bows and arrows, and
tennis sets are all valuable.

Linen

If in the general equipment pillows are provided it is well to have a
few pillow cases other than those which the child brings to camp. There
should be sheets and pillow cases for use in the bed making test. Three
sets of dish towels and a set of dish cloths, holders, stove cloths and
kitchen hand towels. Cheese cloth is of great value in camp in the
kitchen and out of it.

Newspapers

Do not throw away any clean whole newspapers; they are of too great
value. Wet shoes stuffed with pieces of newspaper and stood not too near
a fire, will dry in good shape and be soft. The newspapers help to
absorb the moisture out of the leather and keep the shoes in shape.

Newspapers can be used to sit upon if benches or ground are damp.

Nothing is better for cleaning the top of a stove after each meal, than
a
