    well as humanitarian importance they cannot afford to dis¬ regard. Medical officers, especially those new to the army or such as patriotically tender their services with troops during hostilities, may thereby gain a better understanding, not only of the conduct of war, but also of the duties which may be expected of them in active campaign, outside of purely professional service with sick and wounded. If both these classes are thereby caused to reflect upon the relation to each other of the respective parts they play, and better to appreciate the fact that mutual understanding of pur¬ pose and co-operation in method by all the organized factors which make up a military force is essential to its success, this little work will not have been in vain. The terms “sanitation” and “sanitary” have been used throughout in their broadest sense, as relating not only to the preservation of health but its restoration. The 2-inch map of Fort Leavenworth and vicinity is used for reference. To those who may not be entirely familiar with the use of military maps, the employment of pins to check off the various tactical and sanitary positions referred to in the text is recommended. J. F. M. E. L. M. The Army Service Schools, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. July 1, 1910.
