University of Arizona Bureau of MinesDescription
A special course in First Aid to the Injured was given at the University on August 6th, 7th and 8th. It was well attended by people from out of town besides several from Tucson. Those who attended the entire course were given a State Certificate. Due to the fact that the Arizona State Bureau of Mines is a cooperative station with the United States Bureau of Mines, those who attended the course can obtain a Government Certificate by taking an examination without further training. The course consisted of the outlines of the anatomy of the human body, some practical physiology and the working functions of the vital organs. The language used in instructing the men was void of all technical and medical terms and practical comparisons were used, such as the stopping of bleeding was like stepping on a hose, the bone representing the ground, the artery the hose, the compress the foot. 14 p.Additional Links
