A PENNY BREAKFAST
HELPS THE HUNGRY


Toledo, Feb. 4--The Toledo board OF
education has decided that little boys
and girls can't cram their heads full
of knowledge If their stomachs are
empty so the penny breakfast has
been inaugurated in the schools.
The first experiment was made a
week ago at the Hoag school. Just
plain folk live in this district. The
school has 700 pupils of whom 200
avail themselves of the school
breakfast for which one cent Is charg
ed.
The breakfast is served at 10 a. IN.
daily and consists of a large cup of
chocolate and graham waters. 1t costs
the board of education about cent
and a helf for each child.
SO great help has this school
breakfast proved to be that II is TO
be Immediately introduced into the
other schools.
