Red Cross First Aid
Standards Adopted
In Great Industries
First aid in an emergency which
assures the injured competent atten
tion until the doctor arrives is making
marked headway through the work of
the Chapters of the American Red
Cross. In populous centers 314 chap
ters conduct first aid classes and last
year awarded 9,500 certificates to stu
dents. Eight big telephone companies
have enlisted their workers in first aid
classes, police and fire departments in
large cities are making the course
compulsory in their training schools,
and through colleges and high schools
large groups of students receive in
struction. The Red Cross also gives
this course through Boy Scouts, Girl
Scouts, Y. M. C. A. and similar organi
zations, and its standard methods
have been adopted by railroads, elec
tric and gas companies, mines and in
the metal industries. The aim of this
Red Cross service is to cut down radi
cally the average of 60,000 accidental
deaths per year in the United States.
"Our ertmtry could secure no higher
commendation, no greater place in his
tory, than to have it correctly said
that the Red Cross is truly American."
