Perhaps we were just a bit more disappointed that you were not at the train to greet us with your usual ounny smile, and offer to take us sight-seeing in “awrence., We were especially expectant of @ visit with you since we had wrdtten such a pathetic letter about our lumbago and chest colds. You must be hard hearted when such an appeal could not reach your heart. Seriously,"Phog", "Doc" and 1 didiwant to see you and have & visit with you, but we know enough about the duties that are expected of a married man. We therefore, congratulate you on attending to those duties that should and must come first in any married man's home. I imagine that this fall Mrs. Allen has enjoyed sitting with you during the football games. For So many years you have found it necessary to be other places and, now that you have an opportunity to take her to the games f know that you must get quite a thrill out of the procedure. It was mighty fine of you to write us a congratulatory letter and I assure you that it is deeply appreciated. Kind personel regards and I am Sincerely yours, t M. F. Ahearn Director -MPA:LR 001010 ARIZONA STATE LACHERS ——. November 2:6 19 37 Dr. F. ¢, Allen Dir. of Phy. Education Univ. of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear 'Phog': Thenks very much for your splendid letter of sympathy. Only a man who has experienced the loss of his brother can know that loss. When one realized that Robert kmew five years ago that his con- dition was fatal; and when you consider that his mental att- itude was never shaken in all that time, I believe you will agree with me when I say, he was ‘tone in a million', Robert - never gave up to the end. Last year in Phoenix he told me he could and would fight to the end, that he would live until every tissue had replaced itself, He never talked about himself, so I'm sure that none of you were ever wise to his true condition. You could only note a wearyness or sluggishness which seemed to keep him from being quite at the top. “One time good, one time bad" he would write me. He never excused himself, For the reason that none of you men ever asked questions, he valued your friendship highest. His letters told me that over and over, My hope is that I may live with the same desire to live, and be able to maintain as much self control and personal discipline is as my ‘kid brother' displayed.

Liberal Education Lends ~ Cultural Background The course offerings of the college, while primarily intended for the train- ing of teachers, permit a well-rounded liberal arts training. ENGLISH study consists in reading, writing and speech. READING means familiar- ity with good literature, English and American, classic and modern. WRITING means expression of thought based on knowledge of language and organization of material. SPEECH means correct use of the organs of speech, control of an audience, artistic expression in conversation, oratory, or on the stage. oe Student clubs extend the work of the classroom: debate, creative writing, drama. MODERN LANGUAGE courses train the student in Spanish for business and for teaching purposes. French is offered for those whe desire to teach the subject or to make use of it in graduate study. . Language fraternities are active and give you opportunity to develop your facility in speaking foreign languages. MUSIC is enjoyed as a study by a great percentage of students at Arizona State Teachers College at Flagstaff. If you sing, you have the opportunity presented to you to become a member of the famed A Cappella Choir, an eighty voiced organization that last year, counting its five radio broadcasts, one over a national hookup, reached twenty million listeners. It is thrilling to see the Lumberjack marching band come swinging down the line. The orchestra is open to you as soon as you have shown suitable proficiency. Individual voice and instrumental instruction is given, as well as work in composi- tion and harmony. The demand for music teachers is each year greater than the supply. Students at Flagstaff are eligible for the Eleanor Allman Scholarship Award. ART has for its purpose a basic training for elementary teachers as well as the training of art instructors. Courses are offered in Still Life, Life Drawing, Art in Elementary Grades, Poster Design, Marionettes, and Stagecraft. HISTORY courses cover the history of man since the civilization of ancient Baby- lon, down through the ages. They include a study of contemporary world politics. The courses provide the future instructor an indispensable background for the field. PHYSICAL EDUCATION curricula for both men and women are planned so that there are enough elective hours left each quarter to allow students to complete another major in Elementary Education. Courses offered include Swimming, Equitation, Dancing, First Aid, Scout Leadership, Games and Minor Sports, and Gymnastics. Kinesiology, or the science of body movement, is especially helpful. To build mus- cles instructors should understand why they work. Coaching courses and courses for those wishing to enter the field of playground supervision are offered for both men and women. INDUSTRIAL ARTS offers an adequate training program for teachers of Industrial Arts in Arizona. Its aim is to prepare teachers for the elementary and secondary schools, and for the schools in the smaller communities; and to train supervisors and directors in this field of work. A minor in Engineering Drafting is intended to equip those desiring to enter voca- tional work in the industrial field. HOMEMAKING courses prepare the student for successful home management as well as provide a thorough training for teachers of Home Economics. The present de- mand for such teachers exceeds the supply. Graduates now occupy positions in the grades in designated Smith-Hughes high school classes and in high schools not so des- ignated. as my ‘kid brother' displayed. Most sincergly Cie A?, hiaon A.

We have decided that we can't take it any more.

These examination records are supplieé our authorized First Aid course instructors to guide them in the development of their First Aid instruction and to serve as 4 recommendation sheet to this office for those who qualified for Red Cross First Aid certificates. You will notice from the Standard First Aid Course examination record, form 325, the exemination is covered in five different phases and that a minimum grade must be made in order to eomplete satisfactorily the course. We place emphasis on control of bleeding and artificial respiration and require a minimum grade in these two portions of the work.

Dear Phog: The first thing I want to do is apologize for the delay in answering your letter of March 30. It arrived while I was in Texas and I was here only a couple of days. Have just returned and am leaving again for St. Louis this afternoon, and will not return to my office until after our annual meeting next Tuesday. I want to discuss the possibility of our working something out for Elwyn Dees with Harold Schmidt before making a definite reply to you. Want to assure you I will do everything possible to get something lined up for him. No doubt I will be in Kansas City sometime within the next month or two, and I shall be very glad to let you know in advance so Mr. Dees can drop over to see me. I will do this regardless of the outcome of my discussion with Schmitty. I flew to Culver for Easter and had a most enjoyable visit. Everybody seemed to be quite enthusiastic at the way their sons were getting along, and to me it was indeed nice to have an opportunity of visiting with my own boy. Blanch and Mary Louise had a nice visit with your daughter on the west coast. They feel she is not only attract- ive but a very capable and talented girl. I know you must be very proud of her.

My dear Mr. Allen: I have your letter of February 4 which was sent to our — National Headquarters in Washington, D.C. Red Cross activities in Kansas and in the Midwestern Area come under the jurisdiction of the Branch Office here in St. Louis and for that reason your letter was forwarded to us for handling. Under separate cover we sent you material describing our First Aid program, a catalog, and also a poster showing arti- ficial respiration. You will notice from this descriptive material our First Aid program is an educational activity administered through local Red Cross chapters by qualified and authorized instructors. The American Red Cross believes First Aid training for laymen should include the full courses of instruction provided in our Junior, Standard, and Advanced Courses. These courses are based on material appearing in the American Red Cross First Aid Textbook. Instruction is made uniform through the training and authorization of instructors who are supplied with outlines and examination records for the various courses. Medical doctors can be issued current instructor's certificates without training and authorization for these phys— icians is available on request through local American Red Cross chapters. It is only necessary we have information about the doctor's name, his school, and date of graduation. Files are completed from information we are able to locate in the medical directory. Instructors, other than physicians, must complete the Special First Aid Course. This practice teaching course is designed to provide training for First Aid instructors and is conducted only by physicians, usually members of our national steff. American Red Cross First Aid certificates are issued by this office on the recommendation of authorized instructors on receipt of the usual examination record through their local chap- ters. a Bes SES Sana nace neon Nar SRS tne ath Bearman sane tees STS, Mr. Forrest C.

The Umit Type First Aid Kat The Red Cross has installed the Unit Type First Aid Kit as its stand- ard equipment. This type consists of a complete assortment of approved first aid materials put up in standard unit packages each measuring 4 inches long, 214-inches wide, and 5%-inch in thickness, systematically arranged for convenience. Although it is difficult to prepare a first aid kit to meet all needs, the material contained is adaptable in part, at least, to every kind of acci- dent. Ifsubstitutions are desired for any of the standard fills, they may be obtained at a slight variation in price, depending upon their nature. The filled container is quite compact. The units are so firmly placed that they do not become disarranged in handling or shipping, although they can be readily withdrawn or replaced. The contents of each package are clearly indicated on the top in bold type. The various units are thus readily distinguished, and they may be withdrawn from the kit as needed without disturbing the rest.

October, 1937 THE AMERICAN NATIONAL RED CROSS First Aid and Life Saving Service Washington, D. C. FIRST AID ~ ORGANIZATION AND COURSES. First Aid as taught by the American Red Cross is prompt and efficient emergency care of the injured before the arrival of a physician and includes (a) control of bleeding, (b) artificial respiration, (c) handling and transportation, (a) prevention of infection, (e) relieving pain, (f) accident prevention. The purpose of First Aid training is to provide those receiving instruction with the knowledge and skill needed for the proper immediate care of the injured pending medical care and attention. First Aid training is designed to reach com- munity groups generally-the industries, the schools, youth organizations, police and firemen, the homes. It has as its service objectives (a) the relieving of suffering and the reduction of the loss of life from accidental injuries and (ob) the general promotion of safety and security througn the prevention of accidents. ORGANIZATION While in small Chapters sometimes both First Aid and Life Saving are com- bined under one Committee, it has become increasingly apparent that separate Com- mittees are more effective. The following outline on the organization, composition and duties of a Chapter First Aid Committee is in no sense meant to be inflexible; rather it is suggestive material to be applied as local conditions appear to warrant. THE FIRST AID COMMITTER Purpose: To promote a First Aid Program in the Chapter consistent with the needs of the community. Composition: The committee shall consist of (1) a Chairman who is made a member of the executive committee; (2) a medical adviser; (3) from one to five others as required, QUALIFICATION OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS 1. The chairman; (a) should be community leader and thoroughly interested in First Aid; (b) should be good promotion and publicity man; (c) should be good organizer; (d) must have time for duties; (e) may or may not be a medical man. 2. The medical adviser; a medical doctor who is a member of the medical society in good standing, and possibly recommended by medical society to serve in this capacity. May be selected for outstanding work in field of First Aid. The medical adviser should be the official contact with the county medical society on matters pertaining to the First Aid program of the Chapter. 3. Other members; may be selected from Industries, Safety Council, Telephone Groups, Schools, Chamber of Commerce, Fire and Police Departments, Youth Organization Leaders, Automobile Clubs, and other interested groups, not so much to represent them as such but for the sake of the relationship involved. 51748 Lee R » is siehceaame £0 BPS EA INS RRP ASUS VG A a RSPR ZT PS . si i a DUTIES OF THE FIRST AID COMMITTEE 1.

STEELE, ASSISTANT DIVISIONAL DIRECTOR Chicago, Illinois CENTRAL DEPARTMENT 120 SOUTH LA SALLE STREET, CHICAGO, ILL. March 16, 1938 ir. Forrest C. Allen, Director of Physical Education, Varsity Basketball Coach University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doctor: I hope you will pardon the delay in my answering your letter of February 19, but I have been out of the city most of the time since then and it has seemed as if I would never have time to take care of any of my personal correspondence. Since we are not now taking any Kansas City or Lawrence papers, it is rather difficult to follow the activities of basketball in the Big Six, so I always just assume that you are winning another championship. I am glad that the wire that was sent to you was of some assistance and I can see you now in the dress- ing room before the Oklahoma game, as, of course, I can still see you in the game that we had in Columbia in 1923. From all reports,you are gathering together a good organization which should be ready to go for the 1940 Olympics. It is hard for people from Indiana, Wiscon- sin, and other states up here to realize that basketball is played any place but in this locality, so it would give me a great kick if your gang would come up here sometime and show them how the game of basketball should be played. I personally believe that you could take these Indiana boys because they always play that shinney game and want the other team to shoot it out with them; I be- lieve that you could prevent that. As a matter of fact, I didn't get to see Purdue play this year, but Dutch Lomborg tells me that Piggy Lambert has been experimenting with a system of bringing only four men back on the defense and always leaving a "sleeper," or stationary forward, as we used to call them,in the old days, expecting the four men to handle the defense as best they can and depending on a long pass to the "sleeper" down the court. I mean that the sleeping forward would not take any part whatsoever in the defense. Dutch says that Lambert tells him that the percentage is in favor of the "sleeper" on the. court. I personally am inclined to disagree with him, although I have noticed that the scores of the Big Six have been bigger than they used to be. ‘ ever , As I remember it, we always figured if we could get,20 points we could “pin them and thinking back, it seems to me that in almost all of the games we played, we Mr. Forrest C. Allen -&2- March 16, 1958 depend on that style of game, although I do feel that it is sure,and in the long run you will win more games from a defensive standpoint rather than trying to shoot it out since you don't always have those hot nights. I haven't as yet had an opportunity to look at your new book, but I am planning on doing that at the earliest opportunity. Kind personal regards. Sincerely yours, TAA eee oe woe ATA SRG
