 Tents and Buildings. 



1. The tents or portable houses or the more permanent wooden bunk 

 houses used for sleeping quarters, must afford at least 500 cubic feet 

 of air for each person, in conformity with state law, unless there is 

 some permanently open means of ventilation, such as a complete open 

 side of the tent, or building, or permanent open ends or permanent 

 opening at the top. 



2. If wooden bunk houses are used, there should be ample window 

 space. Doors and windows should be screened in warm weather, to 

 protect the occupants from flies and mosquitoes. 



3. There should be proper drainage around the tents and buildings, to 

 keep the floors dry. In winter camps, tents and buildings should have 

 wooden floors at least 12 inches above the ground. 



4. Floors in bunk houses or tents should be swept at least twice a 

 week. Dry sweeping should be discouraged.

 the straw or hay should be changed at least once "a week.
