HOT LUNCH AT SCHOOL
Preparation Should be Part of Regu-
lar Exercises by Pupils.

Manhattan, Kan, Nov. 19.-The
warm lunch prepared as a part of the
regular exercises of the schoolroom
is a good investment, in the opinion
of Mrs H. w. Allard of the division
of extension, Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
A certain amount of equipment is
needed by the individual and by the
school in carrying out the plan Each
child should have plate, bowl, cup,
knife, fork and spoon of his own and
should be required to take care of
them himself.
The school should be provided with
a suitable stove, table and the uten-
sis necessary in cooking-tea kettle,
stew kettle. sauce pan, pairing knives,
serving spoons, and of course, dish
pans and towels. These should be
kept in a closed cupboard which may
be made by the boys of the school.
A fireless cooker is of value in the
lows greater variation in the diet and
saves time.
Supplement- Lunch from Home.
One hot dish is enough for the
meal. 1t should be supplemented by
the lunch each child brings. The par
ents should know the day before, if
possible, what the hot dish is to be
so that these lunches may be planned
properly. The material for the dish
to be prepared at school may be
brought each day from home, or it
may be grown in the school garden
and its preservation made a part of
the school work.
The preparation of the meal should
be supervised by the teacher but each
week an older girl should be appoint
ed to have charge of the lunches Two
or three other pupils should be de-
tailed to help her in the work
