This work is just being started in this country, so that great results
cannot yet be reported. It has already been demonstrated here, however,
that instruction in first aid will reduce deaths and serious results
from injuries about one-half. On railroads and everywhere else that the
American Red Cross has carried first aid instruction, all interested are
enthusiastic in praise of the benefits derived. In other countries, such
as Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Russia, work of a similar
character to that contemplated for women has been done for many years
and all testimony goes to show that the public has largely benefited
therefrom.
