complete. There is a parade ground f or reviews 

 that is unsurpassed in any country. 



In all the military camps of Canada the 

 Young Men's Christian Association conducts 

 special work for the soldiers. They have large 

 tents or buildings in which meetings are held, 

 and free reading rooms and writing rooms are 

 kept open. The Y. M. C. A. officers in most 

 of the camps direct the sports and entertain- 

 ment of the men. 



The large camps afford the best possible 

 opportunities for training armies under condi- 

 tions most like the conditions of actual warfare. 



Camp Borden. Camp Borden is in the prov- 

 ince of Ontario sixty-one miles north of Toronto. 

 It contains 20,000 acres, a little more than 

 thirty-one square miles, and is more than seven 

 miles long and over four miles wide. Two 

 branches of the Nottawasaja River run through 

 the camp through deep gorges in which beauti- 

 ful lakes have been formed by damming the 

 rivers. These lakes are used for swimming by 

 the soldiers. There are 500 shower baths among 

 the tents. Excellent water for drinking and 

 other purposes is pumped from deep flowing 

 artesian wells into high tanks and flows through 

 the great camp to every tent. There are fifteen 

 miles of water mains and seventeen miles of 

 electric lighting in the camp. The main streets of 

 the camp are made of concrete, and there are 

 ten miles of sewers with a modern clarification 

 tank system. 



The bake ovens have a capacity of twenty 

 tons per day. There are 180 field kitchens. 



The buildings for officers' headquarters, hos- 

 pital, dental clinics, store houses, etc., are large 

 substantial structures. The hospital is 137 by 

 43 feet, is fitted with two operating rooms, a dis- 

 pensary, laboratories and X-ray room, and has 

 ample accommodation for medical stores, linen, 

 etc. The Canadian army was the first in the 

 world to have a dental unit independent of the 

 medical unit. The dental building is 152 feet 

 long by. 25 feet wide, and has twenty-four chairs 

 and the necessary laboratories. 



A stadium for sports, lectures and entertain- 

 ments seating 20,000 has been erected. There 

 are miles of targets for rifle practice. The 

 camp at present has accommodations for 40,000 

 men. S.H.
