First Aid First Aid is the treatment given to an injured person before the doctor arrives. The aim of First Aid is not to cure but to prevent the injury from becoming worse. First Aid is given as an addition to the health class and approxi- mately six weeks are spent in the study and practice of First Aid. First Aid is not a subject to be lightly passed over, but should be required of every person graduating from school. It is not known how many lives could be saved or how many permanent injuries could be prevented if every person had a working knowledge of First Aid. The class this year has studied the first steps in caring for fractures, common ailments and conditions due to accidents. We feel we have accomplished much by taking this course.
