In addition to courses of lessons similar to the foregoing it is desirable 

 that certain other courses of training be added. Among these are: 



1. First aid. It is of fundamental importance that every officer or 

 guard be thoroughly trained in the theory and practice of first aid under 

 the direction of a competent physician or other person specially qualified 

 to give such instruction. This knowledge may not only enable the officer 

 or guard to contribute to the comfort of ill or injured patrons of the parks, 

 but also be the means of saving life, for it is not always possible to get a 

 physician just when wanted. 



2. Record keeping. Detailed instruction should be given as to how to 

 handle properly all the different forms used in the field and in the office. 

 Instruction in office forms is not so important for the rank and file except 

 in so far as the data on those forms are made up from data from the forms 

 used by the rank and file. 



3. Pistol practice. While it is not the intent to make use of firearms 

 in park police or guard service except in very extreme cases, such occasions 

 do not infrequently arise, especially in large parks, parkways and outlying 

 reservations. A school in the care and handling of the pistol should be 

 conducted until every officer or guard is reasonably proficient. Such a 

 school, while training for emergencies, has the added advantage of providing 

 an agreeable recreation. 



4. Physical exercises. While park guards or police get a considerable 

 degree of exercise, especially if performing their duty on foot, it is desirable 

 that regular courses in certain types of physical activity be given, partly 

 for use in the performance in their duty, partly for keeping in fine physical 

 condition and partly for recreation. 



A few words of advice to park police by Theodore Wirth, Superintendent 

 Minneapolis Park Department, in thirty-ninth annual report of Board of 

 Park Commissioners, pages 66, 67. "I cannot better express my idea of 

 an efficient park police force than by quoting a few paragraphs from the 

 park police regulations of another city, viz.: 'The work of a park policeman
