Excerpt from British Columbia Magazine, Vol. 8: September, 1912 Editor's note - While the' above plain tale of the logging camps does not pretend to any of the picturesque detail of a story of the woods by Jack London, it gives a very true picture of the drab moments in the lives of the men who have come here from far countries to develop our great natural resources. The work these men do has its direct re¿ection in the cities and towns that have been built up in British Columbia through the development work that is going on in increasing measure in our lumber camps and mining districts. You, therefore, owe these men some consideration and regard, and the Reading Camp Association provide a means for you to do a little to help make their lives more useful and more interesting. Just think for a minute what your own existence would be if you were deprived for months at a time of the many amenities which you enjoy in your town or City. Mr. A. Fitzpatrick, the Reading Camp Association, 43 Victoria Street, Toronto, will be glad to let you know how you may help him in sending college students to these camps every year to teach and interest men who have never had an opportunity to study even our language.
