GTRARD COLLEGE HIT
BY SOARING FOOD COSTS,
BUT BOYS MUST BE FED
Milk and Flour Bought Under
Old Contract Will Not In
crease at Present-Other
Things Up
MEAT is A LARGE ITEM

The feeding OF students in any large
college presents a problem as big and ne
intricate almost as the feeding OF a fair
sized army. according Co those who are In
a position 10 know. When the price OF
food jumps anywhere from three to 100
per cent owing 10 the war, the high cost
OF living and other reasons the problem
becomes more complex than ever.
Such was the opinion expressed today
by Ernest Cunningham. assistant steward
at Glrard College Mr. Cunningham at
times speaks the language Of figures.
There are 1851 boys az school here"
he said "and II Is foregone conclusion
that u will cost Glrard College many thou
sands OF dollars more TO feed them this
year than Il did last year.
First take milk. We use an average
OF 1920 quarts day at n total yearly cost
ot approximately $4,000. True, our milk
contract does not expire until next MAY
90 the Increase In price will not be telt
until then. Flour we bought at 81 barrel
before the war; we use 1900 loavcs Of
bread daily. Now. under contract. we get
nour at s5.Sb a barrel The retail price, l
hear. n $3.50.
The price OF potatoes is soaring,
year ago we bought them for seventy cents
bushel; now we pay tl.iO,"
The cost OF feeding the students at
| Girard College last year was Sl9i,blSsl.
| or ,i2t6l per boy, MIR. Cunningham eN-
planned The cost in 1915 was nearly $4,000
| more than the cost In 1914. and the cost
this year will be considerably greater, he
said.
Bids will be opened today AZ Girard Col
lege for supplies listed as follows; S75 dozen
| cans Of tomatoes, 1916 dozen cans OF June
peas, 1872 dozen cans Of other peas, 1900
| dozen cans OF corn, 362 dozen cans OF pears
ITO cans of string beans 325 dozen cans OF
peaches and nearly 500 dozen cans OF rasp-
berries, blackberres, plums, apricots and
lima beans. Some Of the cans are gallons
others are quart cans
Meat Is an important item On the die
OF the lads at Girard College. Thousands
of dollars go for II annually and tens OF
thousands OF pounds OF beef alone ar,
eaten by the boys, The beef chucks 130,S2t
pounds OF them, for instance, cost S2353.65
the roast beef and the pinbonc roasts
3s.5O3 pounds Of them, cost s5S76.7S. las
year the boys also ate 4b,i99 pounds o
steak They consumed Sis cases OF cereal.
and breakfast foods valued ht S246i.37; 81
barrels OF cereals costing S22O.29, to sa!
nothing OF the S256S.Ol worth OF oyster
and clans and 59.4Os pounds OF butter
costing sl7,Il499; 1856 dozens o
eggs, costing S7O7Iss. and 95.3s1 pound
OF sugar.
, Mr. Cunningham said that the increas
in food prices will not be so noticeable a
the college at once. owing TO the contrac
, system used in buying food supplies.
