Functions Of Department.

Mr. Howe stated that the functions of the
first aid department were largely educa-
tional. Thirty-five states have taken up
the work of this department, and the su-
perintendent said there was no doubt but
that the others would follow. In speaking
of the mission of the first aid department,
he said:
"a sudden disaster occurs involving the
loss OF few hundred lives in one spot, and
the nation is stricken with horror, and the
generous forces of help and succor are i'm
mediately let loose; but the roll of death
and disaster and much unnecessary suffer-
ing in our great industrial army is recorded
In silence and without7comment. Day by
day, men and women are being killed and
MANNED in our great industrial struggle.
and in the rush and hurry of our strenuous
life 1t is I'm the mitigation of the horror
of this strife the, first aid department is
founded 5ii %
It is thought the first aid department
will bring large sums to the Red Cross
American National Red Cross will be
placed upon its feet sby an Endorsement
fund. The American National Red Cross
has never been aided by the government
ment 1t depends entirely upon gifts from
the people. s.tbc
1t viii be remembered that when Pres
ident Mckinley, asked for contributions
but a comparatively small sum came in
response. He then asked Clara Barton
and the Red Cross to come to his aid.
Mrs Barton took the field with her as
sistants and before the Cuban war was
over 100000 had been expended by her
in easing the woe and want and suffer-
ing It is Miss Bartons dream to place
the Red Cross above the fluctuations of
sentimental responses. and repeated calls
upon the people. She believes she sees
that this is possible OF achievement In
