FEEDING SCHOOL CHILDREN

At the present time there are in
New York twenty schools, registering
thirty-two thousand pupils, where the
lunch system is operated. The need
for such service was naturally most
urgent in districts where the people
were impoverished, where mothers
worked in factories by day, AM where
the children depended for food on the
few pennies which purchased candy
from the vendors about school houses.
An experiment was tried in the equip
ment of a kitchen in a school building
where soup, sandwiches, buildings and
cocoa were provided at the rate OF
one cent a portion-the child being
required TO purchase first a bowl OF
soup. The caloric aggregates OF some
OF the typical trays of food provided.
the price of none of which exceeds a
total OF three cents are given and
these are samples of them:
Lunch No. Vegetable soup. egg
sandwich, rice pudding. Lunch No. z
Bean soup. bread, two slices.
prunes. Aside from its other advant.
ages, the school lunch system affords
an admirable opportunity to teach the
children the science OF feeding, in
Guiding the purchase. preparation and
hygiene OF food Fundamentally. the
work is devoid OF any mark of Door
relief. During the last school term,
.E4S,4ss portions of food were SOLD.
