FIRST AID TRAINING
TO men and WOMEN
American Red Cross Is Teaching
Hundreds of Thousands Life
Saving Methods.

The purpose Of instruction In First
Aid to the injured offered by the Amer
lean Red Cross IS to train men and
women to administer First Aid tl.at-
ment promptly and intelligently when
emergencies demand 1t. First Aid
treatment Is not intended to take the
place Of a physicians service. A sur
geon should always be summoned as
precautionary measure where there
Is an Injury OF any consequence, but
when one cannot be secured few min
utes' delay may mean a fatality. In
such case person trained In First
Aid Is Invaluable not only to the in
dividual, but through him to the COM
munity in which he lives.
There Is perhaps no why of ascer-
tanning the number Of deaths or seri-
Ous disablements which result from
lack Of proper safeguards or prompt
emergency treatment. 1t is safe to as
sert they number thousands daily.
There can be no doubt that the appli-
cation Of First Aid methods to each
case would immeasurably tighten the
country's toll Of suffering and death.
The dissemination Of First Aid train
ing and information has already pro-
duced farreaching and beneficial In
fluence in the prevention Of accidents
on railroads, in mines and in great in
dustrial concerns.
The benefit Of a widespread knowi-
edge Of First Aid In the event Of
great disaster, such as a train wreck,
an explosion. IN earthquake, etc., Is
obvious. Laymen who have had First
Aid training can render efficient as
sistance. Many lives may depend upon
such emergency care.
Red Cross First Aid work includes
{1) the formation and conduct, through
Red Gross chapters, Of classes for In
struction in accident prevention and
First Aid to the injured among men
and women in all communities and In
every industry; (2) the Introduction of
courses Of instruction in high schools
and colleges.
The Red Cross Is prepared to supply
First Aid books and equipment at rea-
sonable prices.
Every person in this country able to
do SO should, in his own interest, re-
ceive Red Cross First Aid instruction.
Information about the course and In
structlon classes may be had at the
nearest chapter headquarters

BY william Mather Lewis. Di-
rector Savings Division,
Treasury Department.

The strength of the United States
depends upon the practical patriotism
and sound economic thought Of her
future citizens. These dharacteris-
tics must be developed in the daily
life OF the school. Economists agree
that the universal adoption of habits
Of Intelligent saving will strengthen
our nation tremendously When ev-
cry wage Garner has a reserve fund OF
money the country will be sound eco
nomically, socially and politically.
The teacher who encourages pupils
to earn money and. to invest in
Thrift Stamps and Savings Stamps is
doing much for their economic
strength and practical patriotism.
Each child who buys stamps feels a
partnership In the government; he
becomes familiar IN . practical way
with compound interest; and as he
s.!cks stamp after stamp upon tho
card, no has a visual demonstration
Of how savings grow.
Faith without works Is dead. Thrift

In its principles but in the actual prao-
tice OF investment. Each year thou
sands OF boys and girls In the United
States are deprived OF college edu-
cation because they la~!. money. You
can remedy this situation among your
pupils by starting them on the road
to saving early in life and encourage
them to safeguard these savings in
government securities.
