always has been sold in Whitewater
school, in common with other schools
of the city.
In other cities where school lunches
are provided the menus consist OF
soups and milk and sandwiches and
other nutritious, homely victuals.
The theory upon which school
lunches are based is that children
whose parents are unable to provide
them with proper and sufficient food
to build their bodies and their brains
may get it at school at slight cost.
This is the theory upon which the
domestic Science club women based
their offer to provide money for a
PENNY lunch at Whitewater school.
Their offer was refused pointblank by
the school board at the instance Of
superintendent Giles.
Contrast in Two Opinions.
Superintendent Giles says the penny
lunch plan is reported to be working
satisfactorily" in Whitewater school
Principal Ramsey of the school says
the addition of bakery sweets to the
menu is a poor substitute, for real
penny lunch.
AT best these are delicacies. al
though they possess some nutritive
va'ue,' he said. But they are far
cry from the hot soups and milk on
school lunch menus elsewhere"
Children of needy parents do not
benefit from these cookies. They are
unable to get the pennies to purchase
the luxuries. This is made on the
statement of Whitewater teachers.
Would Install Fixtures.
The Domestic Science Club women
sought to install proper fixtures in the
school and provide funds to start the
school lunch plan. They expected
charge to be made for the food, per-
haps enough to cover the bare cost OF
the materials.
They also planned to provide money
sor destitute children to purchase food
This money was to be distributed after
due investigation and with secrecy.
Principal Ramsey now has check
for s25 in his possession, given to him
by the Domestic Science club to instal'
kitchen equipment in the school. This
money cannot be used for that purpose
as result of the school boards action.

In Wayne county they have an or

this he again looks over the records
to see If there is surplus aside from

If he finds there is, he gives the
applicant a lecture on saving a large
sum of money from a mediocre wage
