• AID SAFETY FACTOR
Its Industrial and Educational
Service Spreads Throughout
the United States.
Signs that the United States Is
awake to the menace of Its Increasing
accident tell are apparent In the (trow- 1
ln(t Interest In first aid Instruction as
j offered by experts of the Americas
| Red Cross.
Approximately 20,000 Juniors and ■
seniors completed the First Aid course !
during the fiscal year, passed rigid
I examinations and received Ked Cross
| First Aid certificates. This rep.-e
--s'nts an increase of 2,500 over the
preceding year, and this gain is at
tributed to the emphasis on health
education by various public bodies la
-1 eluding not alone the American Red
Cross and Government agencies, but
life and accident Insurance companies,
and athletic and recreational groups.
In Dallas, Texas, playground super- j
visors are required to hold First AhA.
| certificates. In many high schools
the subject is Included in the regular
( curriculum. In order to assist in
! training instructors for thi3 phase of ;
the work, special courffcs nave been
conducted in the Rummer schools of
such leading institutions as the TTni-
I versity of Maryland and the Univer
sity of Virginia. Instruction wa3 con
tinued during the year at Loyola Uni
versity, New Orleans; University of
California, San Francisco; University
of Kentucky; Temple University,
Philadelphia; Beabody Teachers’ Col
lege and similar educational centers.
Work with the public utilities g:'oup
has shown an exceptional increase
during the year. Classes Conducted
by fourteen of the associated Bell
Telephone companies were continued
with Increased fntercst and a number
•f the companies sponsored Intensive

[ nity of pledging support through men
i bership being offered in the Roll Call
i from November 11 to 25 this year.
Educators Give Junior
Red Cross High Praise
Growing recognition by leading ed
| ucators all over the world has been an
j achievement of the Junior Red Cross
in the last fiscal year.
Included in those which have taken
especially favorable cognizance of
Junior Red Cross efforts are the
I World Federation of Education Asso
ciations at Edinburgh, Scotland, in
i 1925, the DeparUnant of Superinten-
I donee of the National Education As
j sociation, at Washington, 1923, and
j the National Education Association j
i in Philadelphia, June, 1926. Various
[ State educational bodies have con
firmed this approval, the report adds.
As a phase of tlieir work, the Jun
iors developed contacts through
I exchange of correspondence, with
similar Junior organizations in vir
tually every part of the world, and
through the development of this me
dium many leaders see a better
chance for world peace in future.
An especially notable development
of Junior organization has occurred
in Porto Rico, with an enrollment of
137,000, and the Philippines, with
912.000.

War Over, But Red Cross
Nurses Are Ever On Duty
Has the romantic picture of the Red j
Cross Nurse faded with the war days? I
It has been more than 12 years since
that first contingent of brave women j
to go to the war zone sailed from 1
America to make an undying record
of service behind every battle front. !
For an answer to their whereabouts
today, it is only necessary to refer to
any large disaster of recent years in
which the' Red Cross rendered relief, j
Wherever there was injury and suf
fering the Red Cross nurse will be
found to have been on active duty.
These nurses are enrolled under the
! American Red Cross as a reserve of
the Army, Navy and U. S. Phblic
Health Service, at all times ready to
serve in war or peace. This reserve
of Red Cross nurses aggregates 43,603
women who have met the highest -
standard in the nursing profession.
The Roll Call for membership in the
Red Cross this year Is November 11
to 25, when the American people
identify themselves with the broad
services of the organization by joining
its ranks.

No? Well, watch your step!
