Appendix C. — Building and Equipment. 



Following authorization by the Secretary of War for construction in each camp of special psychology building, it 

 was decided to secure wherever possible the assignment of small barracks building, and to remodel the same for psycho- 

 logical use. Suitable building for psychological examining has been designated in many of the divisional training 

 camps. In others, temporary arrangements have been effected. For the use of the school of military psychology, 

 Medical Officers' Training Camp, Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., a special psychology building has been constructed. 



In general, it is desirable that building for psychological examining be located conveniently near receiving and 

 examining station of camp, and if possible also near the personnel office and the office of the camp surgeon and psy- 

 chiatrist. Where there is a depot brigade the building should be either in or near the same. Since the psychologist 

 will have important functions in connection with the development battalion, it also should be considered in selecting 

 location for psychological work. 



For the information of examiners and their guidance in selecting and planning for the remodeling of such building 

 as they may secure for their work, the plans of special psychology building are reproduced herewith. 



In planning modifications for any assigned building, it is well to keep in mind the fact that other uses than psycho- 

 logical examining will be found for the psychological building. In the original plan it was intended that the Division 

 of Psychiatry should also have an office in the building and, where necessary, sufficient examining space for individual 

 examinations and consultation. In certain of the camps plans are already on foot to use this building for medical 

 conferences, for conferences between psychiatrists, psychologists, and line officers, for addresses to the line officers on 

 morale, and for discussions and conferences on methods of instruction, and training of the new recruit. 



The first floor of the original building was planned to contain alpha and beta examining rooms and a storeroom for 

 heavy- materials. The alpha examining room was planned to seat on the floor 160 to 200 men. This room was without 

 benches, but the necessary space for each man is marked out roughly by lines running crosswise of the length of the 

 room. These lines were spaced 3 feet apart. Since the men were to be seated on the floor or on small wicker mats, it 

 was deemed desirable to make the floor of this room of double thickness. A small reading stand with shelves was planned 

 for the large examining room. The small examining room, or beta room, was planned to seat between 60 and 100 men. 

 A bench designed for this room, with its partitions and other measurements, is shown in figure O. It was also deemed 

 desirable to have in this room a raised platform, about 18 inches high, from which the demonstrations could be more 

 easily seen from the back of the room. A bank of lights so arranged as to illuminate the beta blackboard will be found 

 essential on cloudy days. Cross-lights should be avoided. Lights in alpha room should barely clear the tallest men. 



The storeroom should have built-in shelves sufficient to enable the examiner to unpack at least one week's supply 

 of the necessary examining materials. Similar shelves should be planned for the scoring room, record room, office, and 

 small storeroom. Shelves in the record room can be made wider than usual shelving, so that if long, narrow boxes are 

 built to contain the record cards they may be placed lengthwise across these shelves. Other necessary changes are 

 indicated on the plan. 



A certain amount of furniture, either built by the construction quartermaster or supplied through the camp quarter- 

 master upon requisition, is indicated in the plan. Examiners should have on hand at least 250 strips of beaver board 

 12 by 18 inches, wicker mats for the alpha examining room, if possible, and a sufficient supply of wall hooks for over- 

 coats and hats of those being examined. Each of the individual rooms on the second floor should be supplied with small 

 tables. In addition, about 20 small tables, 3 by 6 feet, 30 inches high, are needed in the scoring room. According 

 to the desire of the examiner, these tables may be supplied with special scoring tops, as indicated in the specifications 

 and plan in figure 8. For the regular work of the examining staff and scorers at least 75 ordinary chairs should be 

 sufficient.
