STATE SAFETY
COUNCIL NEWS
Series of First Aid Institutes
To Be Conducted Through
out Delaware
PURPOSES OF TRAINING

A series of First Aid Institutes
will be conducted throughout Del
aware under the joint auspices of
the American Red Cross and the
Delaware Safety Council. These
schools of instruction are sched-
uled to be held in Middletown, Do
yer, Milford, Georgetown and
Laurel. Students attending the
First Aid Institute, which is being
conducted in Wilmington are being
taught the fundamentals of first
aid by DR.. j. w. Fenton, of the
Red Cross. First aid is defined as
being "the immediate temporary
treatment given in case of acct
dent or sudden illness before the
services of a physician can be Sc
cured" In some cases, this i'm
mediate action saves a life In all
cases the proper application of
first aid measures reduces suffer
ing and places the patient in the
physicians care in a better condi-
ton to receive treatment. The
duty of the first alder ends where
the physicians begins. The main
purposes of first aid training are:
"a First, to prevent accidents; to
make the individual see an acct
dent in terms of pain to himself
and his pocketbook. It is an i'm
portant feature of any safety pro-
gram. Impressing the results of
failure to have small injuries i'm
cared for is one of the
best methods of getting people to
have all minor injuries treated
without delay. (2) To equip the
with sufficient knowl-
edge to determine the nature and
extent of an injury. The first aid
er is not expected to make a COM
plete or accurate diagnosis such as
a physician makes but he should
be able to come to some decision
as to the nature and possible ex-
tent of the injury. (3) To train
the first alder to do the proper
thing at the proper time. Like
wise, knowing what not to do is
important.

NEED FOR SCHOOL LIBRARY
Article Written by Albert Farley.
Rural Supervisor of Sussex Schools

Article Written by Albert Farley,
Rural Supervisor of Sussex Schools
He who has read only one book
on history hasn't read any history.
Texts in history are almost invar-
iably chauvenistic. Unless we read
widely, examining every angle of a
historical question, we will very
likely read prejudice. When we
are studying the Civil War we
should read both Southern and
Northern authors. Our British
cousins think that there are two
sides to the Tory question, and to
the War of 1912. To be fair, we
should read British as well as
American authors. A textbook
frequently presents the dry
bones" of a subject. This is neces-
sary in order to keep the size of
the book within reasonable limits.
Recently We read a book, with
Whip and Spur" and got ideas
about the Revolutionary War
which we could not get from any
textbook BY reading a novel,
1.-THE Grandissimes, we were in
troduced to the human side of his
tory. A little book, Real Stories
of American History" gives the
flesh and blood" of the western
trek. If all the children in a
geography class read the same
book and nothing else, why should
they be interested when George"
or MARY" recites? If in addition
to the regular textbook, the chill
dren consult several books, each
child can make a distinct contribu-
ton to the recitation. Modern
science is constantly increasing
our leisure time A cardinal prin-
cipIe of education is to teach peo-
pie to use their leisure time prof
itably An adequate library en-
ables us to teach appreciation of
good literature. For ten cents we
can buy a pamphlet which will tell
us more about imports than sew
eral dollars worth of Biographies.
This pamphlet should be in the
school library to supplement the
regular text. Textbooks become
obsolescent. It is very costly to
change them frequently enough to
keep them up-to-date. By adding
few well chosen books to the
school library cheaper proceed
ure we can keep our information
up-to-date.

TO OPEN BRIDGE
MILFORD, SOON
Mispillion River Span Com
pleted, But Approaches
Are Not Filled In
NOT OPEN FOR TRAFFIC

The new bridge at Milford over
the Mispillion River between Pear
street, Kent county, and Washing
ton street, Sussex county, has been
completed, but owing to the fact
that the FILL" raising the grades
of the streets has not been finished,
the bridge is not open for traffic.
The fill on the north side of the
bridge has been made but on the
south side it has not been finished
After being filled in, the street will
be coated with some hard sub
stance before being opened. This
bridge was built by joint agree
ment between Kent county, Sussex
county and the City of Milford. It
will relieve traffic on Walnut
street, the main business street of
Milford, and make a short cut
from the Kent to the Sussex side
of the city. The bridge is con
structed of concrete, REINFORCED
with steel with ornamental con-
crete sides.
