Women desiring to form a class in either first aid or home nursing should
secure a sufficient number of names—not less than ten or more than
twenty-five—selecting one to act as president. The president so selected
should then communicate with the Department of Instruction for Women,
American Red Cross, Washington, D. C. A roll will be supplied on which
the names of the members of the class will be inscribed and answers given
in respect to certain essentials.
No one under sixteen years of age is eligible for these classes.
It will be necessary locally to obtain the services of a physician or a
nurse to give the instruction, whose name and address should be forwarded
to Washington with required roll of proposed class. All instructions must
be approved, and a card of authorization issued, by the Red Cross before
any course is begun.
The instructors’ fees, if any, must be paid locally, and arrangements for
the same must be made by the class with the instructor selected.
It will also be necessary to provide a meeting place.
Books and charts will be supplied by the Red Cross. The cost of these
will be $1 per member for each course of ten lessons, and $1.50 per
member for each course of fifteen lessons. Payment for the same should
be made in advance. The president will be responsible for collecting and
forwarding this amount to Washington.
