CHILDREN'S MIDDAY MEAL
SCHOOL LUNCHEON COUNTERS RECEIv-
ING GREAT DEAL OF ATTENTION.
SHALL. The rooTHsoME SWEET MAKE WAY FOR
NUTRITIOUS SOUPS AND SANDWICHES?
WHAT EDUCATORS SAY.


WHAT EDUCATORS SAY.
Although Boston has for three years provided
hvgienic Iuncheons for the children Of the public
schools sweets still hold sway over the Juvenile
paates Of young folks in this city. OF course this
state OF things is entirely satisfactory 10 the
youthful consumers. but It is being ominousiy
t-oHned upon by their serious minded elders.
When the high schools were established. three
years ago" said 1Ir. Jasper yesterday TO Tribune
reporter. II recommended that some competent
person be appointed 10 take charge OF d luncheon
counter in each school ana provide bowl OF soup.
good bread and butter and fruit in season. and that
10 sweets be allowed ID be sold Five six years
ago suggested that such luncheon counters be
placed n intermediate schools. Ny idea TO
provide places where the children could obtain
healthfu luncheons instead Of rancid butter, col
ored candies and unwholesome sweets. The prin-
ctpsls in al the schools instructed talk to
the children often in relation TO foods and their
effects upon the body.
The fact IS I have said so much on this
subject that ! have been threatened with lawsuits
BY rate sellers Of unwhoesome commodities, whose
business has been seriously impeded by the in
struction which the children have received. So
furious have these people become at times that IT
has been question whether I shall finally spend
the day in the Hall Of Education or in Ludlow
Street Jail"
When the question OF hygienic luncheons was
suggested 70 Dr.. Thomas Hunter, president Of the
Normal College he said
SO far our Normal College is concerned. I
81 u2er1se the luncheons furnished in the building
ana l have prohibited cakes, pies, candles and
sTeetmeats OF al kinds. Only beef tongue and
ham sandwiches. chocolate crackers and all kinds
Of fruits in season are allowed. Since sweets have
been abolished the majority OF students bring
wholesome food from their own homes 1 think il
would be well for all the schools to be provided
with cheap, wholesome luncheons.
Mrs.. Mary z. Williams. supervisor Of cooking IN
the schools OF Manhattan and The Bronx, says
that the uncheons which the children buy through
out TIE city are denominations. She believes that
re training received by the children in the cook
lrg classes has Influenced their selection OF
luncheons, and that only by education the
matter De rerneded.
William H Maxwell, Superintendent Of the Board
O Education Of this city when asked If plan pro-
Tding suitable luncheons IN the various schools
was being considered declined give any in
formation upon the subject.
