I believe it has been entirely successful. It has meant several minor changes in the daily program of the school but the co-operation of the entire staff has resulted in a service which is commended by state officials as well as the parents. A complete lunch as outlined by the federal lunch directors costs each pupil thirteen cents. The program contributes six cents additional. The federal government through the State Board of Eduction and Agricultural Department directs the composition of the lunches.
All programs are subject to inspection by their supervisors.
This lunch includes a meat dish, or meat substitute, a vegetable, bread and butter and a small bottle of milk. The same group may be purchased without milk. Through the last week in January, we have served 11,172 meals and in addition 1,470 bottles of milk. One half of the cost of equipment is paid out of federal funds. We also appreciate the starting of the Federal lunch program.
