Show Group Graduates Tonight As Teachers of First Aid They Will Take Direction Of Numerous Regular Courses Twenty-five men and women to¬night will complete a five-day, 15- hour course in first aid which fits them to become instructors in Red Cross first aid work. They will be assigned to instruct some of the 35 first aid courses now in progress in the county. William Raney, national field representative of the American Red Cross has been teaching the course, held three hours nightly all this week at Weber college. Large Attendance The 35 classes now under way in the county have an average attendance of more than 30 stu¬dents each, according to Kent S. Bramwell, Red Cross director of first aid training. A shortage of teachers, which graduation of the advanced group tonight will re¬lieve, has made it necessary for some of the local instructors to double up on classes. Mr. Raney will hold a similar course next week for registered nurses and school teachers who have completed the standard Red Cross first aid course and for anyone else interested who has completed the advanced course. Rare Attainment One of the most unusual first aid programs in the nation will begin, probably next Monday, at Ogden senior high school, Mr. Bramwell said today. At the com¬pletion of the school year, every student will be a qualified Red Cross first aider, Mr. Bramwell stated. The program is unusual both in the number of students to be trained and in the angements which have made it possible for trained Red Cross personnel to augment the regular faculty of the school. William P. Miller, superintendent of Weber county schools, has ruled that every teacher in the county district must complete at least the standard course offered in first aid by the Red Cross. In¬structors are being arranged for classes in strategic locations throughout the county to ac¬commodate these teachers. Other Courses Classes were started for the pub¬lic Thursday at South Ogden, Lewis high school and Ogden val¬ley, and courses reconvened at Roy town and at Lewis school. A new class for everyone in the vicinity of Ogden high school will be started tonight at seven o'clock in room 103 of the high school. Victor Hancock will be instructor. LEADER . . .
