Abstract
A problem which often confronts the engineer or contractor engaged in work which requires the establishment of a camp is the keeping of labor steadily on the job in such physical and mental condition that each man puts forth his best efforts. This is especially true when work is prosecuted in new and unpopulated country, where life at its best must be rough and at times hard. The engineer in charge may have to carry on the work with a labor force depleted by sickness. As a result, many may leave permanently, and many of those who remain may be in such poor health that their physical efficiency is greatly impaired. A shifting or half-sick labor force cannot be efficient.
