ENTERTAIN SCHOOL TEACHERS

Rev. and Mrs. Jackson Giddens In
their delightfully."- informal way en-
tertained on Friday of last week
the grade teachers and high school
faculty at a seven o'clock dinner at
the Methodist parsonage. The oc-
casion was one of delight to all pre-
sent. 1t was the first real OPPOSE
tunity to get acquainted in which all
met for purpose other than profess
sional.
Covers were laid for twenty-four
guests. After a very bountiful four
course dinner, the evening passed
quickly with music and games. The
teachers will remember the evening
at the Giddens home as most plea
SAINT one.

PARALYSIS CLOSES
SCHOOLS IN NORTHERN IOWA

A number of rural schools have
been closed in the northern part of
Crawford county. in an effort to pre-
vent an epidemic of infantile para
lysis. Forty-three cases have been
reported to the board of health thus
far in September. as against a total
OF twenty for August.

morrow morning when the Al Audi
bon county soldiers leave on the 6:55
Rock Island train. for Camp Dodge
at Des MOines. The procession will
form at the court house and the line
of march will be directly to the Rock
Island depot. This procession ought
to be mile long, rain or shine.
On the special car which will be
occupied by the soldiers will be fly
ing banners and flags. We owe it
to the young men to show them our
patriotism. The only regret is that
a similar demonstration could not
have been given to the first five
young men who left two weeks ago.
At that time there was not time to
make preparations, but now we have
had ample notice in advance to do
the occasion justice.
Arrangements have been made for
a public gathering in the park this
afternoon with picnic supper in the
park. Owing to the inclement
weather today, it has been decided
to hold the supper in the Masonic
hall. Local speakers, which include
the pastors of all the churches in
the city who are here and some from
the churches outside. If the wealth.
er is favorable some of the speeches
will be made in the park.
The Kimballton Band is here to
furnish some music for the afternoon.
The Boys Who Leave
A week ago today B. F. Wilson,
chairman and H. A. Northup, secre-
tary of the local exemption board
received orders from the department
to notify the required percent of the
drafted men to report in Audubon

keep and new utensils, which Is not
often large, can usually be met from
the profits on the sale of food. This
leaves only the two items of service
and supervision.
Service, as rule, is reduced TO
a minimum, even in large city
schools. Pupils are provided with
trays and foods are so placed on
a counter or table that they can
wait on themselves. In some schools
they are expected also to return the
soiled dishes to an attendant. In
some schools where cooking is taught
the amount of hired help is still fur
Their reduced, for the members of
the cooking classes prepare and serve
the lunches under the direction of
the teacher as part of their class
work
The supervision of lunches is,
under all circumstances, most i'm
portant matter, which bears vitality
upon the problem of health in the
home, for upon it depends the
character of the foods selected and
the cleanliness of the methods by
which they are prepared and served.
In this connection the report of a
successful experiment in school feed
ing in large city says:
The school lunch differs from the
street lunch not only in the quantity
and quality of food which children
get, but also the ideas about food
which they get. Every time a child
buys food he gets with it an idea
about food On the streets he gets
an inferior product and harmful
idea and a low standard of food
quality and care; in the school he
gets wholesome product and, if
properly planned, helpful idea
about food and it's care.
Supervision aims to insure this
educational value for the school
lunch, as well as to guarantee the
wholesomeness of the lunch itself
Any means which will give children
wholesome and helpful food stand
ards are worth trying, and expense
incident to such a plan may properly
be charged against education met by
the public treasury.
In large cities a trained supervisor
is often employed for all the lunch
rooms connected with the school
system. In smaller places it is GUS
tomary for the teacher of domestic
science to supervise the school lunch.
Where the Importance Of the task
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1917-02-09

is, recognized and due allowance Is
made for it in planning the program
of the teacher. there is no objection
to this practice. On the other hand,
in schools where this arrangement Is
adopted there Is the best opportunity
for making the cooking classes and
the lunch room mutually helpful.
Even the teacher of general branches
is considered better prepared for her
work IL she knows something about
the hygiene of foods and Is prepared
to supervise lunch, as the intro
duction into teachers training
schools of courses in home economics
testifies.
Special Problems of the Rural School
Lunch
It is in the small country school
with only one teacher that the mid
day meal presents the most difficult
problems The common custom is
still for the pupils to bring their
| lunches, but there is a growing tend
ency to try the experiment of prepar-
| ing part of the meal at school and
of allowing time for serving 1t care
fully. If rightly handled, the meal,
even under the unusual difficulties
presented in the rural school, may
offer the most favorable of all OPP
lportunities to inculcate habits OF
cleanliness and to teach sanitation
and simple cookery. The situation,
however, will require a teacher OF
ingenuity and of enthusiasm for her
work. The simplest of equipments
includes large kettle suitable to
be used on the stove which heats
| the schoolhouse, measuring cup and
spoons, pairing knife, mixing spoon,
dish pans, and towels. 1t will usual
| ly be possible for the boys to make
| set of shelves for the dishes, US
| ing box lumber if no other is a avail
able, and for the girls to make cur
/ tains or other covering for the pro-
lection of the dishes from dust. Inc
pupils will, as rule, be found will
ing to bring plates, cups, bowls and
spoons from home, If this is neces-
sary in order to keep down expenses.
A fireless cooker can easily be made
by the pupils as class exercise. In
this hot dish for lunch can be pre-
pared, before school. The fireless
cooker is convenient for meat stews,
meat and bean soups, cereal mushes,
and many other dishes which require
long cooking.
The recipes for the dishes cooked
for lunch may be given to the older
girls in school, discussed in class,
and tried at home. The special dish
for the day, which in winter is usual
ly hot and in summer more often
cold, can be prepared and served at
noon by the girls in turn, working
in groups. 1t will often be neces-
sary to serve the food to the child
rem at their seats, a practice which
is not especially Objectionable if the
school house is clean and we'll ven
tilated and the desks are carefully
cleaned before meals, as suggested
elsewhere, and the building thoroly

HOME ECONOMICS

Our lesson this week begins with
some very good suggestions for
school lunches, when it is arranged
pared at the school.
The Idaho Republican has been re-
quested to conduct department of
exchange of recipes and suggestions
for managing the home economically
and we'll. This subject will follow in
the department at suitable oppOr-
tunity, and now is a good time to
begin sending in such matter to Mrs.
Trego, that it, may be ready when
the time comes. Suppose we make
this department unusually good
from now on until garden and house
cleaning time We might find much
inspiration for the spring work by
this neighborly intercourse.
Simple Bills of Fare for School Use
Some sample bills of fare follow.
Many others equally good could be
suggested.
/. Vegetable-milk soup; crackers;
rolls; fruit; plain cake.
2. Meat and vegetable stew;
bread and butter; sweet chocolate.
8. Boiled custard; lettuce sand
witches; fruits; cookies.
4. Dried Goldfish chowders; crack
ers; fruit; maple-sugar sandwiches.
However the school lunch is pre-
pared, it will meet the needs of
children hwo wish to bring part Of
their lunches If it contains those
foods which are most difficult to car
ry. It is an easy matter to carry
bread and butter and sweets. 1t is
the liquid foods like milk and such
foods as cooked fruits and soft fruits
like berries which, tho valuable, con-
tain very little nourishment in COM
parison with their bulk, that cause
most trouble. 1t happens, however,
that these foods which are most like
ly to be needed in connection with
what is brought from home are
among those which must be handled
with the greatest care. For this rea-
son schools are beginning to feel re-
sponsible even for the children who
buy part of their lunches only.
In the above bills of fare the first
item and the fruit can easily be
served by the school, and the others
can be brought in the lunch basket
These bills Of fare can therefore be
used by those who bring part of their
lunch. Where there is an oven and

abundant cooking facilities the bills
of fare for simple lunches prepared
wholly or partly at school, may be
followed at school as we'll as at
home.
Lunches Served by the School
While the carrying of lunches is
still by far the most common prac-
tice, taking country and town to-
gether, there are few cases in which
it is not thought desirable for the
school to share with the home the
responsibility for the MONDAY meal.
In some places the task for the
school may be hardly more than that
of providing clean and safe places
for lunch baskets, where the food
will not be likely to become dirty or
to spoil. In others it may be prac-
ticable to provide by one means or
another a hot dish with which to
supplement foods brought from
home. In still others, practicularly
where large attendance and many
teachers and other workers make
subdivision of labor a comparatively
easy matter, it may be possible for
the school to establish and maintain
lunch rooms.
Costs
Whenever the matter of school
lunches is under discussion in COM
munity the cost must be carefully
counted. Experience in rural as well
as city schools has shown that ex-
penses may be classified under the
four heads: Equipment, food ma
terials, service or hired help, and
supervision. In a matter of this
kind, which, from the housekeeper's
standpoint, is closely related to her
own problems of nutrition, the ques-
ton naturally arises, what part of
the expense should the school be ex-
pected to meet? 1t is almost uni
versally agreed that the cost of the
food materials should be covered by
the sale of food aud that it can be
il charge of few cents is made
for each dish. The equipment for
the lunch room is usually paid for
by the school board or by some Or
ganization of parents and patrons
formed for the purpose of co-opera-
ton with the school. Sometimes
pupils themselves raise the necessary
money by means of entertainments
given in the school. The cost Of up

her and Mr.. Evans and through which
the South G street bridge will pass,
has been sold to a company composed
of Howard Gluys, Levi Peacock, Will

Mr.. Peacock said this afternoon
that the land had been purchased by
the Richmond Gravel company for
commercial purposes. A fine grade
of gravel lies under all the land.

from the board of public works would
be dismissed, Mr. Peacock replied that
it would under certain circumstances.
He would not state 1.-The circum-

PRESENT ROAD BILL
WILL RECEIVE VETO
OF THE EXECUTIVE

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 2.-After a
bitter battle in committee for three
weeks the highway commission bill
was reported to the House this morn
Ing with series of amendments. One
of the amendments takes the initia-
tive from the highway commission in
the manner of designating the main
market roads, also the letting of all
contracts and leaves this power with
the boards of county commissioners.
The roads committee held confer.
ence in the governors office this
morning at which this feature of the
bill was gone over. AS result of
this conference, the impression was
clearly left with the committee that
the bill, if passed in it's present form,
would encounter the executive veto.

DECLARES ACCOUNT
WORKED INJUSTICE
ON DANIEL G, REID

PALM BEACH, Fla, Feb. Sam
uel Untermeyer, who is at Palm
Beach, is counsel for the stockholders
committee of the Rock Island Rail-
road, when shown an article in the
morning papers on Tuesday last on
the proceedings in the United States
Court of Chicago before Judge Car
penter in which it was stated that
Daniel G. Reid and others of the origi-
nal directors of the Rock Island had
been permitted to settle the suit
brought by Mr.. Untermeyer's client
by paying back money to the com
pany in restitution, said:
'"The account gives an entirely
false impression and does Messrs.
Reid, Moore and other associates
grave injustice. 1t was stated in open
court, and l have repeatedly stated in
connection with this case, that it has
at no time been claimed by any one
connected with the case that any of
the old directors was guilty of any
fraud or wrongdoing, or that any of
them profted in any way personally
by the transaction on account of
which the suit was brought, or that
they have by making the settlement
admitted any legal or moral liability
whatever. Our claim has been based
on the theory that the directors acted
without legal authority, and this set
tloment is part of the plan of re-organ-
ization and involves no admission by
or reflection upon anybody. as these
gentlemen have consistently refused
to entertain any adjustment that
might involve personal reflection
upon the integrity of their manage
ment as directors
