JUNIOR RED CROSS
WORKING AT HOME
Production of Sound American
Citizenship the First Aim,
Says Dr. Farrand.
On the badge of every member of
the Junior Red Cross are the words
“I Serve." Tliut tells the story of the
school children’s branch of the Auierl
can Red Cross and Its efforts to bring
happiness to children throughout the
world.
Realizing that the time never was
so propitious as right now for teach¬
ing the highest ideals of citizenship,
the entire present program of the Jun¬
ior Red Cross has been framed under
the very inclusive phrase, “Training
for Citizenship Through Service” for
others. Since the Junior Red Cross is
the agency through which the Ameri¬
can Red Cross reaches the schoolboys
and the schoolgirls, all its activities
are designed to come within the regu
Jar school program, and without creat¬
ing new courses or increasing the num¬
ber of studies to lend its aid in vitaliz¬
ing the work of tlie schools.
"The tiling that is needed,” says Dr.
Livingston Farrand, Chairman of the
American Red Cross Central Commit¬
tee, "Is not a perpetuation of the Jim
ior Red Cross, but the training and
breeding of sound American citizenship
inspired by the true, fundamental
ideals of sound democracy. One of the
great conceptions in making the Red
Cross a contributor to better citizen
ship In our. American democracy Is the
realization that after all the sole hope
of any nation Is with the children of
the country.”
The plan of organization of the Jun
lor Red Cross makes (lie school—pub¬
lic, parochial and private—the unit,
not the individual pupils. Mutual serv¬
ice, helpful community work such ns
clean-up campaigns, care of the sick,
promotion of health regulations, par¬
ticipation In civic and patriotic move¬
ments—all these creative agencies de¬
signed to translate into life and action
the regular school program are parts
of the machinery which the Junior Ro l
Cross places at the disposal of the
school authorities.
Graded study courses giving prac¬
tical methods of civic training, supple¬
mented by pamphlets and helpful sug¬
gestions, are supplied to the local
schools by the Junior Red Cross, An |
elaborate plan for promoting an inter¬
change of correspondence between chil¬
dren in different sections of the United
States as well as with children in for
sign lunds is being devised and will
tnke a prominent place in the estab
lished classroom program. j
In promoting the general cause of i
child welfare, Red Cross courses In
honie hygiene and care of the sick,
first aid, and dieting may be estab
Itshed ir ail Junior Red Cross Aui
Iliurlc8.
The ideals and the objective of the
Junior Red Cross are embodied in the
pledge of service which the pupil takes
when he signs the membership roil and
pins on his coat the Junior’s badge.
The pledge which binds together serv¬
ice and citizenship rends:
(• We will seek in all ways to live tip
to the ideals of the Junior Red Cross
and devote ourselves to Its service.
"We will strive never to bring dis¬
credit to this, our country, by any un¬
worthy act.
• i We will revere and obey our coun¬
try’s laws and do our best to inspire a
like reverence arid obedience In those
about ns.
“We will endeavor In all those ways,
as good citizens, to transmit America
greater, better and more beautiful than
she was transmitted to us.”
At the foundation of this school pro¬
gram of the Junior Red Cross is a
great love for America’s children.
RED CROSS ACTIVE
IN DISASTER RELIEF
When disaster hits a eoinmuntty—
fire, flood, earthquake, explosion, bad
wreck or tornado—the American Red
Cross can be depended upon to follow
right at its heels with help for tlie
stricken people. Red Cross relief is
almost immediately forthcoming—food,
clothing, shelter and funds; doctors,
nurses and special workers with long
experience In handling similar trouble
elsewhere,
During the last year, ending June 30,
there was an average of four disasters ,
a month in the. United States One
hundred and fifty communities in
twenty-seven states suffered. The
larges: and most destructive of these
were tlie tidal wave at Corpus Obristi,
Texas, and tornadoes in Mississippi,
Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois.
Tn these events of horror 850 per¬
sons were killed, 1,500 were injured,
13,000 were made homeless, about 30,
000 families needed help, the property j
loss was nearly $100,000,000 and al
most $1,000,000 in relief funds, not In
eluding emergency supplies was ex¬
pended.
To t'ie sufferers from all disasters
during tlie year, tlie American Red
Cross sent $120,000 worth of sup
plies. 110 Red Gross nurses and seven
special relief trains. To meet the
needs of the stricken, the organization
set up ten relief stations, operated
thirty food canteens and as many
emergency hospitals. One hundred
and twenty-five Red Cross chapters
gave disaster relief service.
If disaster ever strik. s this town or
county, the citizens can be absolutely
sure* the Red Cross will be right on

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¬
ican Red Cross is to train men and
women to administer First Aid treat¬
ment promptly and intelligently when
emergencies demand it. First A1<1
treatment is not Intended to take the
place of a physician’s service. A sur¬
geon should always lie summoneed as
a precautionary measure where there
Is an injury of any consequence, but
when one cannot lie secured a few mln
ules’ delay may mean a fatality. In
such a case a 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 way of ascer¬
taining the number of deaths or serl
ous disablements which result from
luck of proper safeguards or prompt
emergency treatment. It is safe to as
sert they number thousands dally,
There cun be no doubt that the appll
cation of First Aid methods to each
case would Immeasurably lighten the
country’s toll of suffering and death.
The dissemination of First Aid train¬
ing and information has already pro
dttced a farrenchlrig and beneficial in¬
fluence In the prevention of accidents
on railroads, In mines and in great, in¬
dustrial concerns.
The benefit of a widespread knowl¬
edge of First Aid In the event of a
great disaster, such us a train wreck,
an explosion, an earthquike, etc,, is
obvious, Laymen who have had First
Aid training can render efficient as¬
sistance, Many lives may depend upon
sueh emergency care,
Red Cross First Aid work Includes
(1) tlie formation and conduct, through
Red Cross 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,
Tlie 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 Ids own interest, re¬
ceive Red Cross First Aid Instruction.
Information about tlie course and in¬
struction classes may be had at the
nearest chapter headquarters.
RED CROSS EXTENDS
RELIEF TO POLAND
More than $5,000,000 lias been spent
by the American Red Cross in aiding
the stricken people of Roland. The
Organization lias nursed tlie sick, fed
the starving, clothed tlie naked, shelter¬
ed the homeless, schooled the children
and cared for the orphans (here. It lias
conducted a relentless fight against
t}pints, cholera and other terrible dis¬
eases. So today millions of men and
woman in that resurrected nation
speak in grateful appreciation of “The
Greatest Mother in tlie World.”
Nearly 200 American Red Gross
workers are now engaged in relief ac¬
tivities in Poland. Four large relief
bases are in operation and eleven mo
bile intiis are in the field During Ihe
last twelve months tills organization
was largely Instrumental ; n the re-es¬
tablishment of a million refugees at a
cost for general relief of more than
$1,000,000. Last winter one-half mil¬
lion war orphans were aided material¬
ly, and since then * series of large or
phanages itave been established to give
them permanent care.
But for American Red Cross aid. of
ticials of Poland declared recently, mll
lions of people in that country would
have perished of disease, exposure or
starvation the last eighteen months
And ihe work there must be kept up
for another xeoc.
NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY LXPAMDINC
This American Red Cross Work
Flourishing in Small Towns
Throughout Country.
More than 37,000 graduate nurses
have been enrolled In the American
Red Cross to dale and Us department
of nursing Is daily increasing this en¬
rollment.
The department of nursing has been
authorized to maintain an adequate
reserve of nurses for the army and
navy. It will continue to supply the
needs of the United States Public
Health Service to which It has as¬
signed more tlmu 1,000 nurses In the
last year.
It will assist In establishing proper
mUrslng service In foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has or¬
ganized hospitals, dispensaries and
schools for nurses. Courses in home
hygiene and care of the sick have been
Started for thousands of women who
have never received any education in
tills direction. Rural nursing which
was In its infancy jl short while ago
has been put ahead at least a decade
through the work of the department
of nursing and" local Red Cross
chapters.
Public health nursing has been ex¬
tended to many rural communities and
how flourishes actively in hundreds of
small towns and counties. Nearly u
thousand efficient nurses have already
been assigned to tills kind of work.
The department of nursing is unit¬
ing with other organizations In a year’s
rampaign in recruiting nurses for
training schools, in educating the gen¬
eral public as to standards of nursing
education and In showing communities
their responsibility toward schools of
nursing. It will endeavor to meet all
these needs ns well as to continue the
enrollment of dietitians who will lie
utilized as instructors In home dietet¬
ics, in developing nutritional clinics,
and in supplying dietitians for the
United States Public Health Service
and tlie civilian hospitals.
The Nursing Service will continue to
offer to women and young girls the
opportunity of securing Instruction In
home hygiene and care of the sick In
fvery community in tlie country. This
Instruction lias not only laid the foun¬
dation for public health but in some
places has given Impetus to the estab¬
lishment of hospitals and community
school houses.
“As a community profits by the work
nf the nurse,” says Miss Clara D.
Noyes, director of the department of
nursing, “it is logical that the com¬
munity should he aroused to its respon¬
sibility. The American Red Cross
Stands ready to help in a general cam¬
paign of recruiting and must have the
support, sympathy and understanding
of the medical profession as well as
the Intelligent co-operation of the
people at large.”
HOME SERVICE FOR
EVERYBODY IN NEED
Do you know what the present day
Home Service of the American Red
Cross is?
Many people do not know that, be¬
sides completing the work for ex-serv¬
ice men, ©specially the disabled, It pro¬
vides the same neighborly service to
families In general that It formerly
gave families of soldiers, sailors and
marines.
tt Home Service covers a wide and
varied field,” says Frederick C. Mun
roe, general manager of the American
Red Cross. “It gives aid to families
iu salving such problems as budget
planning, marketing, tiding over times
of financial stress, keeping children in
school, helping crippled children, wid¬
owed and deserted mothers, children
backward In school and children In
conflict with the laws. It renders serv¬
ice to the homeless and transient, to
the illiterate, to tenement dwellers, to
the unemployed, and gives friendly as¬
sistance and advice to foreign speak¬
ing groups."
In addition to helping famines In
the solution of their own problems,
Home Service helps to strengthening
the weak spots tn the social life of
communities. It Joins bonds with olh
ert; to make communities safer,
healthier and happier-.
Organizing action akmg litotes in
which the community is already Inter¬
ested is one of the objects of Horn©
Service, ft has established community
meetings, patriotic celebrations, pag¬
eants and picnics. Rest rooms, recre¬
ation facilRies, play supervisors and
moving pictures have been provided, i
Through Home Service other agencies
are Influenced to bring about Improved
commercial amusements and better,
school facilities and to promote travel¬
ing libraries as well ms to secure coun¬
ty agricultural and homo demonstra¬
tion agents.
