PENNY LUNCH SYSTEM

The Woman's club of Stevens Point
| is undertaking the establishment of the
penny lunch system in the public
schools of that city and so far is meet
ing with hearty cooperation among
the citizens. The plan has been start
ed in the Mckinley school, as this
was the part of the city where it
seemed to be most needed and has
been in operation about two weeks.
The principal of the building informs
the president of the Woman's club
that the children already show an in
creased interest and alertness, and
that the difference is very marked. At
present the club is working with the
four lower grades of the school. The
first day seventy-five children were
served The number has grown to
120 and is still increasing. The first
week each child was served with a
cup of hot cocoa and graham crackers.
This will be varied with broths, and
in summer cool milk will take the
place of cocoa.
Mrs. w. S. Powell, chairman of the
Woman's club committee in charge of
this work, figured out the cost of the
first lunch and stated that it amounted
to $3.50 for seventy-fve children. This
included the cost of food stuffs pur-
chased such as milk, cocoa, sugar and
crackers, also oil for the stove, and
the pay for the young lady who is to
take charge of the lunches. This makes
each lunch cost two cents. The plan
seems very popular with the young
sters. They buy a number of penny
tickets at a time and the teachers
check off their visits to the lunch
room each day. Only morning lunches
are served. An oil stove has been do
mated; also plenty of dishes, and
goodly sum of money to help the VEN
ture. At present the experiment is
confined to the one building, although
it is said there is need of the lunch
system in two other schools. Stevens
Point people have been watching this
innovation with interest and the re-
suit of the work in the Mckinley
school may lead to an extension to
other schools, and after time, school
boards, if they find that pupils do bet
ter work and advance more rapidly
under the lunch system, may feel that
money spent in that way is we'll spent;
thus making it a public enterprise.
Would it not be we'll if some one of
the many clubs and societies of Wau-
sau would consult with the city teach
ers, and if feasible, adopt the plan of
our progressive sister city, whose
workers are meeting with such success
in this worthy venture?

ELECTION

Tuesday, April Sd, is election day.
The Pilot is published on Monday in
order to give publication of notices
which are necessary.
There is only one Office in which
there is contest in our county and
that is for the position of Justice Of
the Supreme court. The present in
cumbent is Justice r. D. Marshall,
who has filled the Office with ability
and honor for the past twenty years
and he should be reelected, by rous-
ing vote. His opponent is Attorney
General Owen, who was elected to the
position which he holds, last fall. En-
ceived last fall, he now aspires to the
Office of Associate Justice. He cares
not If the people have to go through
the great expense of a special cleo
ton to elect a successor in case he is
elected to the Supreme court. This
and for several other reasons, we do
not think he possesses the good judg-
ment to fill the position of Associate
Justice. The voters should turn out
and re-elect R. D.. Marshall.
Chas. P. Cary, for state superintend-
of schools, has no opposition.
]. e. Giessel, our present county
superintendent of schools, has no OPP
position, and rightly so, because he has
made very efficient, able, painstaking
officer. There will be no vote cast in
the city for county superintendent.
Everyone should cast his vote so
that R. D. Marshall will go out of the
county with large vote to his credit
