HOT LUNCHES FOR
The SCHOLARS
School Boards in Many Cities and
Towns Of State Considering Hot
Lunch Proposition.
OIL STOVES ARE IN USE
Hot Dishes Prepared in Schools Prove
Very Appetizing and Pleasing
Marked Degree Of Cleanliness

School boards in many of the, cities
and towns of the state are discussing
the ACCESSIBILITY of furnishing school
children with hot lunches and particu-
larly for the benefit OF the country chill
dren and for those who live some dis
lance from the school. Here in Deni-
son this plan would meet with favor
among many people and it is a matter
which might be looked into. The do
nestle science department of the pub
lie school could be worked into the
plan and the students themselves
could prepare the lunches for children
who would care to avail themselves of
the opportunity of eating hot lunch
at school, The plan would be most
acceptable one during the winter
months when the thermometer is down
about the freezing point. At some
places soup, hot chocolate, potatoes.
etc. are served and a nominal fee is
charged. In recent issue of the Iowa
Agriculturist an article on this sub
ject, written by Marjorie Wyckoff, APP
pears, which will be of interest to peo-
pie in Denison. The article is as fol-
lows:
Until recently the school lunch prob
lem has received little intelligent
thought, especially in rural schools. 1t
is a problem which should be very care
fully considered for, as Mary l.. Bull,
Of the University of Minnesota says,
''as no time during the life OF an in
dividual is the subject of What to Eat
more important than in children. Chill
dren are~in the formative stage, not
only as to muscles and bones, but of
mind and habits. The young human
being, to develop normally, must have
food which will furnish material for
The growth of the body, and also sup
ply energy to carry on the activities OF
child life, work, play and study"
During recent years, many of the
cities have proven that wholesome
warm dish, served at the noon lunch
hour, is a success from more than one
5iewpoint. The most noticeable result
las been more and better school work
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1916-02-09

and the probable good results have
been a better physical condition Of the
pupils and the stimulus received from
a knowledge of work well done.
So, If such plan results in better
and more efficient work in the city
schools, why should it not be equally
beneficial to the one room rural or
country school?
This is the problem which the Min
nesota extension bulletin No. 10 has
solved with very satisfactory results,
suggesting how hot soups, gruels,
chowders and other simple dishes
might be prepared and served, what
utensils are needed, etc. This bulletin
was sent out to county superintend-
ents for distribution and a great many
of the teachers have tried the plan
with satisfactory results.
A list of questions was sent out to
representative teachers and the an
swers received give an idea of how the
work is carried on.
All teachers stated that the prepar.
ing and serving OF soups resulted in
a great deal of success and that most
of the work was done by students, be-.
fore school and at recess. The stu
dents were very enthusiastic and APP

Most oi the teachers said that oil
stoves were used, but in some places
the heater was used, the lid being
taken off the top of the stove and the
kettle set in. One school was fortu-

3. The lunch was eaten quietly and
without haste.
Miss Bull said it was her privilege
to partake of the hot dishes prepared
and served in number of one room
rural schools, and she found them very
appetizing and pleasing.
She also said that the degree of or.
der, cleanliness and dispatch with
which the work was done before and
school rooms, very much as one would
find differences in the homes of diff
ferent housewives, but in all cases the
teachers expressed the opinion that
the noon hour was more enjoyable and
less trying when the hot lunch was
served .
